16. Micrurapteryx Spuler, 1910

“Gattung. Micrurapteryx ”—Spuler, A., 1901–1910. Die Schmetterlinge Europas. Mit über 3500 Figuren auf 95 Tafeln und 505 Abbildungen im Text.3. Auflage von Prof. E. Hofmann’s Werk: Die Gross-Schmetterlinge Europas. 4 Vols. Schweizerbarthsche Verlagshandlung, Stuttgart: 409.

Type species: Gracilaria kollariella Zeller, 1839 , by subsequent designation by Ely (1918). Proceedings of the entomological Society of Washington 19 (1917): 42, 70. The type species was attributed by Zeller to F[ischer] von R[öslerstamm], an incorrect authorship. The type species was established in combination with the generic name Gracilaria , at that time an incorrect subsequent spelling of Gracillaria Haworth, 1828 ( Nye & Fletcher 1991: 192).
