The genus Mania Treits. was obviously erected to cover Lemur Hbn. 

 and Mormo Ochs. which were evidently considered undescribed. 



The authors consider both Lemur Hbn. and Mormo Ochs. described ; 

 following Article 25 of the International Rules. The quotations of older and 

 well known species are at least "an indication" of what the genus represented. 

 Following Article 30f of the Rules, which states : 



"In case a generic name without originally designated type is proposed 

 as a substitute for another generic name, with or without type, the type of 

 either, when established, becomes ipso facto type of other."; 



Mormo, Ochs., and Mania, Treits. therefore take the same type as Lemur, 

 Hbn.; i. e., Phalcena (Nochia) maura, Linn., and are synonymous.
