Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Röber (as noted above) described the type-species (alticola) as belonging to the genus Davidina Oberthur, 1879; he added however that it might later be found necessary to place Davidina alticola in a separate genus. It was against this contingency that he then introduced the name Leechia conditionally. The name Leechia Röber is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the names Leechia South, 1901, and Leechia Tutt, [May 1907], discussed immediately above. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
