Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Watson made no reference to Holland's paper of the previous year and expressly marked this genus as being "nov." It is clear that there must have been some communication, direct or indirect, between Watson and Holland and that it was Watson who orignally devised this name, for in his paper of 1892 Holland stated that Osmodes was a manuscript name of Watson's. It may be concluded that, when Watson wrote his paper, which must it have been in 1892, for it was published as early as January in 1893, he was not aware that of Holland had anticipated his publication of this name. It is possible indeed that at that time Holland's paper had not as yet actually been published. Whatever may be the explanation of this incident, the name Osmodes Watson, 1893, is invalid, being both a junior homonym of, and a junior objective synonym of, Osmodes Holland, 1892. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
