Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Capronnier's intention was to apply this generic name to some generic taxon in the family Satyridae. He gave no generic diagnosis and placed in this genus only a single nominal species - Dyndirus berms - which was a manuscript species of Boisduval's. Capronnier gave no description for this nominal species which therefore, as published by him was no more than a nomen nudum. So also was the generic name Dyndirus, as published by Capronnier, for, as shown above, that author gave no diagnosis for this genus and cited under it only one species-name which was also a nomen nudum. Accordingly, the name Dyndirus Capronnier possesses no status in zoological nomenclature. It is cited here only for purposes of record, because it has found its way into various lists of names that have been published. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
