= Carmenta Weymer, 1906: 74 (TS. Antheraea cordifolia Weymer, 1906: 71, by original designation. Carmenta Weymer is a junior homonym of Carmenta Edwards, 1881 (Sesiidae). There is no objective replacement name, but A. cordifolia is congeneric with Phalaena mylitta, the type-species of Antheraea; the latter is thus available for use as a subjective replacement name (Fletcher & Nye 1982).
