Type Species

= Panthauma Staudinger, 1892: 404 (TS: Panthauma egregia Staudinger, 1892: 404)
= Auchenisa Hampson, 1905: 18 (TS: Auchenisa schausi Hampson, 1905: 19)
= Trisulana Bethune-Baker, 1911: 534 (TS: Trisulana senex Bethune-Baker, 1911: 534)
= Galactomoia Fawcett, 1916: 716 (TS: Galactomoia berenice Fawcett, 1916: 717, pl. i, fig. 15)
= Pteronycta Fawcett, 1918: 240 (TS: Pteronycta fasciata Fawcett, 1918: 241)
= Pteronycta Hampson, 1926: 122 (TS: Pteronycta fasciata Hampson, 1926: 123). A junior homonym of Pteronycta Fawcett, 1918 (Noctuidae). This generic name originated from Hampson but was used and unintentionally made nomenclaturally available by Fawcett prior to its proposal and generic description by Hampson. The lectotype of P. fasciata Hampson is the same specimen as the lectotype of P. fasciata Fawcett, 1918. Therefore, Pteronycta Fawcett, 1918, is an objective replacement name.
