Collingwood : CSIRO Publishing Vol. 4 xiv 529 pp. & CD-ROM. [300] (Note 605. Gesonia obeditalis Walker, [1859] and Gesonia pansalis (Walker, [1859]) were published simultaneously. Gesonia obeditalis Walker was implicitly given priority by Hampson (1926) as first reviser. The type-species of Gesonia Walker is G. obeditalis Walker by monotypy and that of Dragana Walker is G. pansalis (Walker) by monotypy so Hampson in listing G. obeditalis (Walker) as the type-species of Dragana Walker was giving it priority implicitly. However, the Code Art. 24(b) requires that the names be cited together. Nye (1975) is probably the first author to fullfil this requirement)
