Attacus Linnaeus, 1767

= Arcuata Perry, 1811, Arcana: [Signature Cc7] [199] (TS. Phalaena vitrea Perry, 1811: [Signature Cc7] [199], pl. [51], by monotypy). Phalaena vitrea was proposed unnecessarily as an objective replacement name for Phalaena atlas Linnaeus, 1758, which Perry thought inappropriate; thus, Arcuata Perry, 1811, which was made available for a subgenus of Phalaena Linnaeus, 1758, is a junior objective synonym of Attacus Linnaeus (Fletcher & Nye 1982).
