Remarks
Yves Bousquet (pers. comm., 2010) kindly checked the nomenclatoral problem of Leperina that also bears upon the name of Gymnocheilis: “... the type species of Lepidopteryx is Trogositas quamosa Gray, 1832 described from ‘Melville’s Island’, not Lepidopteryx squamosa Hope, 1840. In his second and third catalogues, Dejean proposed the genus Gymnocheilis for squamosa Gray. So Lepidopteryx Hope, 1840 is a senior synonym of Gymnochila Erichson, 1844, which in turn is a junior synonym of Gymnocheilis Dejean, 1835.” The correct name Gymnocheilis has already been used by Leschen and Lackner (2013)[2].
