Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Corydon Hewitson is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, it being a junior homonym of no less than four older generic names consisting of the same word. The references to these earlier names are the following : (a) Corydon Lesson, 1828 (Traité Orn. 1 : 177) ; (b) Corydon Wagler, [1832] (Abh. K. bayern. Akad. Wiss. Wien 1 (1829-1830) : 504) ; (c) Corydon Gloger, 1841, Gemein. Naturg. (1) : 264 ; (d) Corydon Deyrolle, 1864, Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. 8 : 114. The name Corydon Hewitson was replaced by the name Hewitsonia by Kirby in 1871. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
