Memo: Fletcher (1979) stated:- An incorrect subsequent spelling. See: CYMATOPHORIMA Spuler, 1908. According to Honey (pers. comm.) however:- I've checked Cymatophorina and cannot see why it is spelled incorrectly in GNMW, apart from the fact that someone amended the card in our generic index (from which the catalogue was published), from Cymatophorina to Cymatophorima. They even went so far as to add a card correcting the 'correct' entry in Neave (1939: 931)! From the handwriting on that card I can only assume that the lapsus was due to the late Steve Fletcher. The correct spelling is Cymatophorina Spuler, so Neave was actually correct (it is not an incorrect subsequent spelling) but Cymatophorima in the catalogue is incorrect.
