Temporary placement in Transeromene
*In the NHM are several crambine spp. [Eromene, Euchromius, Transeromene] labeled as holotypes [probably by Shaffer] but we cannot find any publication ref. associated with them nor can we locate the paper (‘Schouten in prep.’ referred to in Schouten 1992: 197) Until this is clarified we are treating those names as ‘Schouten in prep 1992’. MS names. -
