Extract

The genus Diastictis Hübner (1818: 21) has as monotype D. argyralis Hübner. Warren (1892: 434), neglecting the original publication, proposed Anomostictis as a substitute name for Diastictis Hübner, 1825, which is preoccupied by the geometrid genus Diastictis Hübner, 1823. Warren's selection of argyralis as type of Diastictis Hübner, 1825, is an effective type designation for Anomostictis, which therefore is a junior objective synonym of Diastictis Hübner, 1818.
