Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- When Moore established this genus, he designated a type-species but did not give a generic diagnosis. He made good this deficiency a little later in the same year ([1898], loc. cit. 3 (33) : 187). The name Condochates Moore was published on the same date (and in the same work) as the name Parathyma Moore, and in consequence the relative precedence to be accorded to these names depends on the choice of the First Reviser. This was made by myself in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 80), when I accorded precedence to the name Condochates Moore below the name Parathyma Moore. Cowan (1968: 10) stated:- Balanga, Conodochates, Kironga, Sabania, Tatisia, Zabana, Zamboanga. Under each of these synchronous genera in turn in his List, except the last, Hemming [1967] quaintly says that, acting as Firsy Reviser in 1964, he "accorded precedence to (that genus) below Parathyma Moore" meaning, of course, that he accorded precedence to Parathyma over it. He does not make the latter statement under Zamboanga. Thus, as Hemming also shows in the lat line of the entry under Parathyma, he has accorded no relative precedence as between these seven genera; all are equal in status next below Parathyma, in the same work as which they were introduced by Moore on the same date in 1898. At first this seems odd, but it was probably a deliberate act by Hemming, although he did not explain it either in 1964 or later. All these seven genera are very close, the difference in some cases perhaps even being only subspecific as between widely separated local races. It is thus considered that Hemming left those genera equal in status so that a future author working on the group will be free to select as he desires. So they are left. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
