Memo: Cowan (1968: 8.) made the following comment for this and other genera:- The status and type-species of the following genera are at present the subjects of pending applications to the Commission. Against each is shown its relevant Z.N.(S.) Case Number; * Aetheius Hübner, 1819; 1678 Capys Hewitson; 1748 * Euphaedra Hübner; 1686 * Gonophlebia Felder; 1688 Mantoides Druce; 1768 * Najas Hübner; 1686 Neolycaena de Niceville; 1758 * Ourocnemis Baker; 1687 * Pseudopontia Plotz; 1688 Scoptes Hübner; 1748 Thrix Doherty; 1768 Virgarina Druce; 1768 Of these six Aetheius, Gonophlebia, Najas are all nomina oblita, whose revival would threaten respectively the well-known Ourocnemis, Pseudopontia, and Euphaedra. The Commission is at present deferring rulings on nomina oblita. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
