Current Status:		Valid Name		Current Rank:		SPECIES
Original Combination:		AMPHIPYRA styx Herrich-Schäffer, 1850
Comments:		Uncertain whether this spelling or 'stix' is the correct one. Fibiger & Hacker (2007) (current combination reference) gives stix as the valid name, but the card for stix explicitly states, with referenced evidence, that it is an unjustified ementation (J. Ollerenshaw, 18/08/2011).
