Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Butler gave a brief diagnosis for this genus in the footnote specified above. He did not included any nominal species in the genus ; he did however rather strangely designate as the type-species a nominal species (Paramacera conhiera) which was at that time a manuscript name of Butler's and which was never later published by that author. This is therefore a nominal genus established without included nominal species, and its type-species is therefore subject to determination under the provisions of Article 69 (a)(ii). The first author to place a duly established nominal species in this genus was Scudder (1875) who not only placed Neonympha xicaque Reakirt in this genus but in addition specified it as the type-species. Under the Article cited above, that nominal species is therefore the type-species by subsequent designation. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
