| Comments | Type by monotypy. Comments: Introduced as "Entomoneis Nov. S. Genus" (= New subgenus) p. 71 of Ehrenberg 1845 (ref. 000955), no species are listed for this genus. In the same volume, p. 154, (Ehrenberg 1845, ref. 000956), the name is used at the genus rank and a new species, Entomoneis alata, is described. Farr et al. 1979 incorrectly considered ref. 000955 to be the valid publication of the genus name, the entry was corrected in the current internet version of the ING where ref. 000956 is given as the original publication. |
