Abstract
The nomenclatural history of Callarctia ornata Packard, 1864 and Arctia ornata Staudinger, 1896 is discussed. Both these nominal taxa are shown to be neither primary nor secondary homonyms. The nomenclature act of O. Sotavalta dealing with the homonymisation of Arctia ornata Staudinger 1896 should be considered as inadequate to the rules of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature. The nominal taxon, Arctia ornata Staudinger, 1896, should be considered as valid.
