Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- ACHNA was established by Billberg as a replacement for Helias Fabricius, 1807, and accordingly has as its type-species the species which is the type-species of HELIAS. How it happens that this genus has as its type-species a species bearing a name published after the publication of the name HELIAS is explained in the note given under that name. The name HELIAS Fabricius is an available name and Billberg was therefore in error in trying to substitute the name ACHNA for it. The latter is accordingly invalid as a junior objective synonym of HELIAS Fabricius. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
