Correct spelling[edit]
- The article now says the species is Moca vexatalis (Walker, [1866]) and lists Alicadra vexatalis Walker, [1866] as a synonym.
- The original description in Walker, 1866 at https://archive.org/stream/listofspecimenso3334brit#page/1192/mode/1up says Alicarda vexatalis.
- Savela (here) has Moca vexatilis (Walker, [1866]) with synonym Alicadra vexatilis Walker, [1866] and links to the original description by Walker above.
- LepIndex (here) has MOCA vexatalis Walker, 1866 with original combination ALICADRA Walker, 1866 in its digital text, but the image of the card reads vexatilis.
It seems most likely that the correct current name is Moca vexatalis and the synonym should be Alicarda vexatalis. That was my thinking for the changes made. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 05:34, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
