Aemymone Bates, 1868: 314. Type species: Goniadera cariosa Bates, 1868.

List of Aemymone species.

Aemymone cariosa (Bates, 1868) [ Goniadera ], comb. rest. Note: Bates (1868) described Goniaderia cariosa Bates, 1868, for an unavailable Dejean species of the same name, and later in the same paper designated this species as the type species for Aemymone . Gebien (1941) lists the type species simply as " Aemymone cariosa ", but the only species with that epithet he included within the genus was one described by Fairmaire (1873). This was followed by Blackwelder (1945) and Ferrer and Delatour (2007) who also neglected to refer to Bates’ species. Bousquet et al. (2018) and Bouchard et al. (2021) recognized the proper Bates type species. See Aemymone striatipennis below.

Aemymone crenata Champion, 1893, comb. rest.

= Goniadera championi Ferrer & Delatour, 2007. Replacement name due to secondary homonym. Note: When Ferrer and Delatour (2007) included Aemymone as a subgenus of Goniadera , this resulted in Goniadera crenata (Champion, 1893) [ Aemymone ] becoming a secondary homonym of Goniadera crenata Perty, 1832. Goniadera championi Ferrer & Delatour, 2007 was proposed as a replacement name for G. crenata (Champion, 1893).

Aemymone hansfranzi (Ferrer & Delatour, 2007) [ Goniadera ], comb. nov.

Aemymone semirufa Pic, 1917a, comb. rest.

Aemymone simplex (Fairmaire, 1889) [ Goniadera ], comb. nov.

= Aemymone bordoni Marcuzzi, 1994. Synonymy by Ferrer and Delatour (2007).

Aemymone striatipennis (Pic, 1934) [ Anaedus ], comb. nov. Synonymy with A. cariosa Fairmaire, 1873 by Ferrer and Delatour (2007).

= Goniadera cariosa Fairmaire, 1873. Junior primary homonym (in Goniadera ) and secondary homonym (in Aemymone ) of Goniadera cariosa Bates, 1868.

= Aemymone silvanae Marcuzzi, 1994. Synonymy by Ferrer and Delatour (2007).

Note.

As noted above, Goniadera cariosa Fairmaire, 1873 is a primary homonym of Goniaderia cariosa Bates, 1868, and now that both species are included in Aemymone , it is also a secondary homonym. Although both species may have been described to accommodate an unavailable Dejean species by the same name (Bates 1968; Ferrer and Delatour 2007), the original descriptions suggest that each author formulated their description based on different specimens. To deal with the homonymy, Aemymone striatipennis (Pic, 1934), which was synonymized by Ferrer and Delatour (2007) with Aemymone cariosa (Fairmaire, 1873) is considered the valid name. Type specimens of both species must be examined before a decision can be made about whether Fairmaire’s A. cariosa is a subjective synonym of Bates’.
