Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Gynomorphia Verity is invalid, as it is a junior objective synoynm of Aricia R.L., 1817. The introduction of this name is due to a misreading of the action of Tutt (1906, Ent. Rec. 18 : 131) when he selected the above species to be the type-species of Aricia R. L.; Verity erroneously supposed that Aricia was a new name then introduced by Tutt, and he accordingly rejected that non-existent name on the ground that it was a junior homonym of Aricia R. L. It was to fill the gap which he mistakenly supposed existed that he went on to introduce the name Gynomorphia. Higher classification updated following Lamas (2008).
