The genera Atropos and Clothilla were named after the two fates Atropos and Clotho. Westwood attempted some years ago to complete the trio by establishing a genus Lachesilla. This proved a failure, the genus being a misconception. As the name Lachesis is in use in various branches of zoology, the desired circle of Psocid fates is likely to remain always incomplete.
