 Other citations: M. amicula (Stephens), by Fenyes, 1918, p. 23; by Scheer- 

 peltz, 1929b, p. 240 ; by Tottenham, 1949b, p. 393 ; not originally included. 

 Discussion: The designations of amicula were made under the assumption 

 that the genus was published in 1874 ; they could be accepted only through 

 the subjective synonymy of amicula and sericea. The designation of 

 sericea removes any question as to what species is type.
