In the article by Yang and Landry (Reference Yang and Landry2019), we inadvertently created a species-group name homonym, Anania sinensis Yang and Landry, 2019 (Lepidoptera: Crambidae: Pyraustinae), which is a junior secondary homonym of Anania lancealis sinensis (Munroe and Mutuura, Reference Munroe and Mutuura1968) and is thus permanently invalid (International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1999; Article 57.3.1). We propose Anania shanxiensis Yang and Landry, new name as the replacement name for Anania sinensis Yang and Landry, 2019.

The etymology for this replacement name is derived from Shanxi Province, China, where the type locality (Pangquangou) is situated.

Anania lancealis sinensis (Munroe and Mutuura, Reference Munroe and Mutuura1968) was originally included in the genus Perinephela Hübner, 1825 (Munroe and Mutuura Reference Munroe and Mutuura1968), a generic name synonymised under Anania Hübner, 1823 by Leraut (Reference Leraut2005: 126), who listed several new combinations but did not mention subspecific names. Tränkner et al. (Reference Tränkner, Li and Nuss2009) further clarified the list of Palaearctic species included in Anania but did not list subspecific names either. The name Perinephela sinensis (Munroe and Mutuura, Reference Munroe and Mutuura1968) is currently listed as a synonym of Anania lancealis (Denis and Schiffermüller, 1775) in the online global information system on Pyraloidea (Nuss et al. Reference Nuss, Landry, Mally, Vegliante, Tränkner and Bauer2019).
