Memo: Cowan (1968: 8.) made the following comment for this and other genera:- The status and type-species of the following genera are at present the subjects of pending applications to the Commission. Against each is shown its relevant Z.N.(S.) Case Number; * Aetheius Hübner, 1819; 1678 Capys Hewitson; 1748 * Euphaedra Hübner; 1686 * Gonophlebia Felder; 1688 Mantoides Druce; 1768 * Najas Hübner; 1686 Neolycaena de Niceville; 1758 * Ourocnemis Baker; 1687 * Pseudopontia Plotz; 1688 Scoptes Hübner; 1748 Thrix Doherty; 1768 Virgarina Druce; 1768 Of these six Aetheius, Gonophlebia, Najas are all nomina oblita, whose revival would threaten respectively the well-known Ourocnemis, Pseudopontia, and Euphaedra. The Commission is at present deferring rulings on nomina oblita. Lycaena sinesis Alpheraky, 1881 was proposed as the type-species of Neolycaena de Niceville, 1890 by Cowan 1967, The Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 23 : 189. Lycaena sinesis was designated as the type-species of Neolycaena and was placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology and Neolycaena on the List of Generic Names in Zoology, (Opinion 899), The Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 26 (5/6) : 210. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
