Taxonomy

The senior synonym Fidia Motschulsky, 1860 has priority over the name Lypesthes Baly, 1863. However, Lypesthes is the preferred name for the genus used by some authors, because the name Fidia is also used by the genus Fidia Baly, 1863, despite the latter name being a junior homonym of Fidia Motschulsky, 1860.

An application to suppress Fidia Motschulsky, 1860 and conserve usage of Fidia Baly, 1863 and Lypesthes Baly, 1863 was submitted to the ICZN in 2006, but was rejected by them in 2009.[6] Following this ruling, Fidia Baly, 1863 was renamed to Neofidia in 2020.[7]

gollark: The CC:T wiki?
gollark: That is an oddly specific scenario. And you can just check the online version *now*.
gollark: I check Wikipedia rather than using the (surprisingly small) database dump, partly because the database dump is text-only and the software for viewing it is lacking, and partly because there's just no particular reason to not use the online one.
gollark: Can you *not* just browse it online as normal people do?
gollark: Not really sure how to express that without (*EVIL*) dynamically generating SQL, or filtering the rows in JS after they're retrieved...
