Proceedings of the Linnean Society of New South Wales 69: 189-197 [197] [Dichromodes simpla Goldfinch, 1944. In 1930 Turner published a revision of Australian Oenochrominae and in preparation for Turner's revision G.M. Goldfinch drew his attention to 3 undescribed species which Turner described. They are Hypographa epiodes Turner, 1930, Dichromodes oriphoetes Turner, 1930 and Dichromodes galactica Turner, 1930. G.M. Goldfinch died in 1943 leaving an unfinished manuscript on the Geometridae. Turner assembled a few of the description that Goldfinch had written for a paper published in 1944 (Goldfinch 1944). Unfortunately, this included the three species Turner had described in his revision of the Oenochrominae in 1930 but different names were used in 1944. These were, respectively, Neolissoma gracilis Goldfinch, 1944, Dichromodes implicata Goldfinch, 1944 and D. simpla Goldfinch, 1944. Each pair of species names have the same syntypes and the same specimen should be selected as lectotype to ensure that they become objective synonyms].
