| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Nennius was introduced by Kirby as a replacement for the name Polygonus Hübner, [1825], which he believed to be invalid as a junior homonym of Polygona Schumacher, 1817 (Ess. Vers test. : 241). Kirby was in error in considering these names to be homonyms of one another. The name Polygonus Hübner is thus an available name and its unnecessary replacement name Nennius is invalid as a junior objective synonym. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
