Type Species
Apamea moderata Eversmann, 1843
= Lampetia Boie, 1837 (TS: Noctua didyma Esper, 1788: pl. 126). Lampetia Boie is a junior homonym of Lampetia Meigen, 1800: 34 (Diptera). There is no objective replacement name but N. didyma is a junior subjective synonym of Phalaena secalis Linnaeus, 1758, which is congeneric with Apamea moderata Eversmann, the type species of Mesapamea Heinicke, 1959. The latter is thus available for use as a subjective replacement name.
