"from West Africa (Rhodesia, Nyasaland) and Madagascar"... this should surely be "East Africa (...) and Madagascar"? Rhodesia and Nyasaland aren't nowhere near the western coast, even less in the area defined by our article on West Africa. – Haltiamieli ( talk) 13:43, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: MOVED to Xanthopan, per discussion below. Hadal ( talk) 18:31, 31 May 2017 (UTC)
Xanthopan morgani →
Xanthopan morganii – For the orthography of the name, a reference was made to
Funet, where indeed the spelling "morgani" was found. Funet however is not a reliable source when it comes to orthography. In a case like this one, the spelling in the protologue is decisive, see
ICZN Art. 33.4. I added in the article a link to the protologue, where the original spelling is found as "Morganii" (an initial capital in the specific epithet is to be changed into lower case). For convenience, I repeat the link here:
List of the Specimens of Lepidopterous Insects in the Collection of the British Museum 8: 206. The original combination was Macrosila morganii; the species was transferred to the genus Xanthopan by Rothschild & Jordan in 1903.

Recent studies makes Xanthopan praedicta a new species. So Xanthopan is no longer monogeneric.-- Vinayaraj ( talk) 09:42, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
