Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Evans, the only author to have commented on this nominal genus and species expressed the view (1955, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 478) that the taxon represented by the nominal species Dicrosema quadrifenestrata Bryk was the same as that represented by the nominal species Anisochoria bahia Evans, 1953 (loc. cit. 3 : 167, pl. 45, fig. E. 59. 5 (male - genitalia)), to which he sank Dicrosema quadrifenestrata Bryk as a junior synonym. He did not notice however that these names were both published in the same year and therefore that, in order to determine the relative precedence to be given to them, it would be necessary to know in what month each was published. This matter has now been examined with the following result : (i) The part of the Ark. Zool. containing the name Dicrosema quadrifenestrata Bryk was published on 12th August 1953 ; (ii) The volume of Evans's Catalogue containing the name Anisochoria bahia Evans was published on 27th November 1953. Accordingly, on the basis of Evans's subjective identification of the taxa represented respectively by these nominal species, the species here in question should be known by the specific name quadrifenestrata Bryk. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
