Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The history of the name Yoma, as published by de Niceville and Doherty respectively, resembles closely that of the name Yasoda, as published independently by those authors, in the manner described immediately above. In each case the name was first proposed by Doherty, in each case correspondence took place between the above authors before the name in question was actually published, in each case the name was published independently the same time providing that genus with a diagnosis and stating that the above species was its type-species. Thus, while de Niceville clearly indicated that the name Yoma had first been proposed by Doherty, he made it clear also that he considered that this name had not up till then been published by that author and himself assumed responsibility for its publication. The name Yoma de Niceville is invalid, both as a junior homonym of, and as a junior objective synonym of, the slightly older name Yoma Doherty. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
