Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Acropolis was introduced as the name for a new genus and not as a replacement for the name Pharia Fruhstorfer, [1911], of which also the above species is the type-species but which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. For practical purposes therefore Acropolis acted as a substitute for the invalid name Pharia Fruhstorfer. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
