Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Oberthur & Houlbert had the idea that, if the specific name of a given species were to be selected as the name for a new genus for that species, it would be necessary to abandon that name as the specific name for the species in question and to provide it with another. In the present instance they took the word Halimede which had been used by Ménétriés in 1858 as a specific name in the binomen Arge halimede and adopted it as a new generic name. That nominal species was for long a matter of difficulty, Ménétriés having confused two different species with one another. What Oberthur & Houlbert did was to erect the nominal species Halimede asiatica for one of the taxa included by Ménétriés under the name Arge halimede but not the taxon to which under the lectotype procedure the specific name halimede Ménétriés now applies. The generic name Halimede Oberthur & Houlbert is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, there being two older nominal genera bearing the name Halimede. These names are : - (a) Halimede de Haan, 1835 (in Siebold, Faun. japon., Crust. (1835) : 35) ; (b) Halimede Rathke, 1843 (Nova Acta Leop. Carol. 20 (1) : 166). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
