Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- An Unjustified Emendation of Tamyris Swainson, [1821]. Even if Thamyris Burmeister had been a Justified Emendation, it would nevertheless have been invalid as being a junior homonym of Thamyris Spence Bate, 1862 (Cat. Specimens Amphipodous Crust. Brit. Mus. : 335). Cowan (1970: 38) stated:- THAMYRIS Burmeister, 1878. An Unjustified Emendation, based as he explained on the Greek orthography, for Tamyris Swainson, 1833. If this had been a Justified Emendation, it would stand as of Swainson, 1833, and would invalidate the name Thamyris Bate, 1862 in Crustacea. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
