Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Scudder erroneously supposed that the above was the only species included in this genus by Geyer and it was on this basis that he stated that it was the type-species. This misunderstanding on Scudder's part does not however detract from the efficacy of his action as a type-selection (Article 69 (a) (iii)). The name Tritonia Geyer is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, it being a junior homonym (a) of Tritonia Cuvier, 1798 (Tabl. élém. : 387), (b) of Tritonia Meigen, 1800 (Nouv. Class. Couches à deux Ailes : 33), and (c) of Tritonia Turton, 1825 (Zool. J. 2 (7) : 365). It has been replaced by the name Epityches Ferreira d'Almeida, 1938. Cowan (1968: 14) stated:- TRITONIA, line 3: "Geyer, 1932" should read; Geyer, 1832. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
