Notes:
Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:-

When Curtis designated as type-species Phalaena ramella Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 540, a nominal species not originally included in Anticlea, he also (on the next page) placed harpana, a nominal species originally included in Anticlea, as a junior subjective synonym of ramella. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this designation constitutes the fixation of the originally included nominal species as the type-species.

A junior homonym of Anticlea Stephens, 1831, Illust. Br. Ent. (Haustellata) 3: 236, -Lepid., Geometridae. The objective replacement name is Ancylis Hübner, [1825].
