Memo: Watson, Fletcher & Nye (1980) stated:- A junior homonym of Termessa Newman, 1856 April 21. There is no objective replacement name but the type-species of these two nominal genera are currently considered to be congeneric so that Termessa Newman, 1856 April 21 is available for use as a subjective replacement name.
