Edwards, E.D. 1996. Notodontidae (Ceruridae). pp. 272-274, 366-367 in Nielsen, E.S., Edwards, E.D. & Rangsi, T.V. (eds). Checklist of the Lepidoptera of Australia. Monographs on Australian Lepidoptera. Collingwood : CSIRO Publishing Vol. 4 xiv 529 pp. & CD-ROM. [273] (Note #516: Epicoma tristis (Donovan, 1805). Epicoma tristis (Donovan) was published on 1 January 1805 (date taken from plate). No date is available for the publication of Epicoma tristis (Lewin, 1805) but 31 December 1805 must be assumed (Code, Art. 21 (0). This is contrary to established usage, consistent since Boisduval (1832), which has given F. tristis (Lewin) priority)
