Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Calvus, which has the same type-species as Drepanula Röber, [1892], a genus bearing a name which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, was established as a new genus and not as a replacement name for the invalid Drepanula Röber, because it was desired to provide this genus with a more adequate "indication" than that which Röber had published for his Drepanula. At the time when the name Calves was published, it was not realized that the name Drepanula had already been replaced by Strand. The name Calvus is therefore invalid as a junior objective synonym of Boeberella Strand, 1932 Cowan (1970: 43) stated:- "Boeberella to read - Roeberella". The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
