Genus Cheylabis Trouessart, 1885

Anoplites Trouessart & Mégnin, 1884b: 156 .

Anoplites Mégnin & Trouessart, 1884a: 138 .

Cheylabis Trouessart, 1885c: 84 (replacement name).

Type species: Cheylabis latus Trouessart, 1885c: 85 , designated by Gaud & Atyeo (1984).

Notes: (1) Trouessart (1885c) proposed the name Cheylabis as a replacement for Anoplites Trouessart & Mégnin, 1884 , on the grounds that it was a junior homonym of Anoplitis Kirby, 1837 (in Richardson 1837: 227). However, Anoplites is not a homonym of Anoplitis , so Cheylabis was an unnecessary replacement name. The name Cheylabis is retained here in the interest of stability.

(2) Gaud & Atyeo (1996a: 170) referred to the new generic names proposed in Mégnin & Trouessart (1884a), as nomina nuda. Anoplites is diagnosed in a key to genera in Trouessart & Mégnin (1884b: 156) and Mégnin & Trouessart (1884a: 138) so it is not a nomen nudum for that reason. It lacks a type species, but new genera proposed before 1930 were not required to have a type species (ICZN Article 13.3).
