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]
