Apatele

Translingual Etymology mul I assume this derives from grc ἀπατηλή, the feminine of grc ἀπατηλός, whence the epithet la apatēlus; however, the semantics are unclear. According to w:la:Acronicta (see the Synonyma in the infobox by clicking the Dilatare toggle), Jacob Hübner published this name in 1806, 1808, 1818, and 1822 (the first three being suppressed); see species:Jacob Hübner for a list of his works, caveat that I didn't find Apatele in the 1822 work linked to. Compare Apatela genus (James Francis Stephens, 1829, lapsus) and Apatelae genus (Ferdinand Ochsenheimer, 1816, unavailable), both also synonyms of Acronicta genus.
