valid
Type information:
Pectinivalva brevipalpa Hoare, 2013
Etymology:
The subgenus is named (in the diminutive) after the famous Italian adventurer and philanderer Giacomo Casanova, in reference to the unusual sexual ornamentation of the males of some species (e.g. P. (C.) minotaurus sp. n., in which the male has strongly dilated antennae and specialized scales on the abdomen upperside). It is considered feminine (in spite of its derivation) to accord with the gender of Pectinivalva.
