Phalaena turca Linnaeus, 1761
= Philostola Billberg, 1820: 87 (TS: Phalaena turca Linnaeus, 1761: 322). Philostola is a junior objective synonym of Mythimna Ochsenheimer, 1816.

There is no objective replacement name, but P. pallens is congeneric with N. vitellina Hübner, the type species of Aletia Hübner, [1821], which should therefore be used as the subjective replacement name.
= Leucania Boisduval, 1829: 82. A junior homonym of Leucania Ochsenheimer, 1816 (Lepidoptera; Noctuidae). There is no objective replacement name, but P. pallens is congeneric with N. vitellina Hübner, the type species of Aletia Hübner, [1821], which should therefore be used as the subjective replacement name.
