Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Neope Moore, [1866], was introduced as a replacement for Enope Moore, 1857, under the Law of Homonymy. Moore did not designate a type-species for his Enope in 1857, nor did he do so when in 1866 he introduced the replacement name Neope here in question. The above species was selected as the type-species of Enope Moore, 1857, and therefore automatically also for its replacement Neope Moore, [1866] by Butler in 1868 (Ent. mon. Mag. 4 : 195). The circumstances in which this type-selection was made by Butler were peculiar, for he did so in a paper in which he was dealing with the name Neope Butler, 1867, established by himself in 1867 as a replacement for the name Enope Moore, 1857, at a time when he was unaware that in the previous year (1866) the same name had been published in the same sense by Moore. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
