Memo: Fletcher & Nye (1984) stated:- Proposed unnecessarily as an objective replacement name for Mimicia Caradja, 1925, which is not a preoccupied name. Mellia Meyrick, 1934, is a junior homonym of Mellia Herrmannsen, [1847] 1847-1849, Indicis Gen. Malac. 2: 36 - Mollusca; Mellia Meyrick, 1934, was replaced unnecessarily by Meltalia Strand, 1935.
