Is Phykodes an unnecessary replacement name?
[edit]Tegna Walker, 1866 was a junior synonym of Phycodes Guenée, 1852, and as far as I can tell it is still a synonym of Phycodes/Phykodes, is still available and isn't preoccupied. Did Rindsberg (2019) just miss the existence of this junior synonym (this seems entirely plausible to be honest, since he is an ichnologist not a lepidopterist), or is there some other reason Tegna couldn't have been used instead of Phycodes?
