Introduction
Hepner (1995) erected the family Lacturidae, including this genus in it. But according to NHM database "Butterflies and Moths of the World Generic Names and their Type-species", "The late J. Kyrki of Finland had informed us that he intended to transfer Aictis to the Zygaenidae, Phaudinae, thus we have assigned the genus to that subfamily.
