| Comments | Type by monotypy. SVL's entry, "Styloneis Ehrenberg 1845, p. 55 (ref. 00955)" is incorrect. In Ehrenberg 1844 (ref. 001185), p. 259, the name Styloneis caduceus is listed in a table, with a * (indicating a new taxon), no description is given. A description of Sceptroneis caduceus n.sp. is given p. 271. Ehrenberg 1854 (ref. 000966) (Mikrog., pl. 33, XVII, fig. 15) in the caption for Sceptroneis caduceus, said the name Styloneis Ehrenberg 1845 is a typographical error for Sceptroneis. The name was introduced by error. |
