In his essay ‘ Sphinx vespiformis’ (1852) Newman proposed a new genus Memythrus 
for tabaniformis Rtmbg. (= *vespiformis Nwmn., nec L.), but in September of the same 
year (Ent. Mag. 1 73, 83-4) he sunk Memythrus as a synonym of Paranthrene Hb., 
which he redescribed taking for its Type the same species tabaniformis Rtmbg. 
(=*vespiformis Nwmn) —Memythrus Nwmn. and Paranthrene Hb. are therefore 
synonyms. Herrich-Schiaffer (1846) and Zeller (Isis 1847 418) redescribed Paranthrene 
Hb., citing tineiformis Hb. as its type ; Newman’s previous restriction must, however, 
be accepted and *Paranthrene (Hb.) Stgr-Rbl., ete. (nee Hb.+ Nwmn.) will sink as a 
synonym of Tinthia Wkr. (= Zenodoxus Grt. & Rbnsn.). |
