Unreviewed
Taxonomic remark Cupello and Génier (2017) are correct that Arnaud & Génier (2016)'s are wrong in asserting the availability of the name from Lacordaire, 1856. They are NOT correct in (seemingly) asserting that no type species was assigned, as Arnaud and Génier very clearly assign Dendropaemon amyntas Harold, 1868 as a type. What makes Onthoecus Arnaud and Génier unavailable is that it was not expressly proposed as new (Art. 16.1). [details]
