| Memo: | Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Metamorpha was a Stainton manuscript name made nomenclaturally available by Frey & Boll. It is, however, a junior homonym of Metamorpha Hübner, [1819] 1816, Verz. bekannter Schmett.: 42, - Lepid., Nymphalidae. There is no objective replacement name but Dyar, [1903] 1902, Bull. U.S. natn. Mus. 52: 539, placed Metamorpha Frey & Boll as a synonym of Idioglossa Walsingham, 1881; the latter is currently in use as the subjective replacement name. |
