Memo: Nye (1975) stated:- A junior homonym of Compsenia Dognin, 1914. This generic name was used and made available by Dognin prior to its proposal and generic description by Schaus, for a similar concept. There is no objective replacement name but C. catagrapha is congeneric with C. furtiva Dognin, 1914, the type-species of Compsenia Dognin, 1914. The latter is therefore available for use as a subjective replacement name. See: COMPSENIA Dognin, 1914. Poole (1989) included COMPSENIA Schaus, 1916 as a junior synonym of COMPSENIA Dognin, 1914.
