Remarks. According to ICZN Art 59.4 (Reinstatement of junior secondary homonyms rejected after 1960): “A species-group name rejected after 1960 on grounds of secondary homonymy is to be reinstated as valid by an author who considers that the two species-group taxa in question are not congeneric, unless it is invalid for some other reason.”
