Memo: Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Orthenches and O. chlorocroma were made nomenclaturally available when they were published in a report on a paper read at a meeting. The paper was later published in full and Orthenches again proposed by Meyrick, 1866. Trans. N.Z. Inst. 18: 173 (key), 175, as the name for a new genus containing the same species, but the name for the type-species was then proposed as O. chlorocoma Meyrick, 1886, ibidem 18: 175. O. chlorocoma is the spelling in general current use and chlorocroma has not subsequently been used as a valid name. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 23(b), chlorocroma is an unused senior synonym. A case could be submitted to the Commission requesting either that chlorocroma Meyrick, 1885, be ruled to be an incorrect original spelling or that it be suppressed as an unused senior synonym of chlorocoma Meyrick, 1886.
