Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Moore introduced the name Putlia as a replacement for the name Charma Doherty, 1886, which he considered was a homonym of the older name Charmus Karsch, 1879 (Mitt. münchn. ent. Ver. 3 : 101, 104) and therefore invalid. At the time when Moore took this action the Code had not been adopted and even after its introduction there was still no clear provision as to the criteria to be adopted in determining whether any two generic names should be treated as homonyms of one another; it was not until the publication in 1961 of the present revised text of the Code that a rule was introduced (Article 56 (a)) that names differing in spelling by even a single letter are not to be treated as homonyms of one another. Accordingly, the name Charma Doherty is not a homonym of Charmus Karsch but is an available name. The replacement name Pontia Moore is therefore itself invalid as a junior objective synonym of Charma Doherty. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
