Taxonomic Decision for Synonymy
- Nielsen, E.S., Edwards, E.D. & Rangsi, T.V. (eds) 1996. Checklist of the Lepidoptera of Australia. Monographs on Australian Lepidoptera. Collingwood : CSIRO Publishing Vol. 4 xiv 529 pp. & CD-ROM. (stated 'Meyrick described Bactra optanias twice, once on 1 July 1911 based on material from New Zealand and on 20 November 1911 based on material from Australia (Dugdale 1988). The two series appear not to be conspecific. Diakonoff (1964) designated a lectotype from the Australian series, hence his synonymy is provisionally accepted')
