Other names

The name Methone fallax Saussure, 1888a: 158 is regarded as a junior synonym of Methone rana Saussure, 1888a: 156 , but it is actually a lapse; the species is called rana in the key to species but fallax in the text of the description.

The name Ochrophlebia caffra Saussure in Riley, 1893: 581 is regarded as a junior synonym of Zonocerus variegates (Linnaeus, 1758), but in the original publication the species is attributed to Linnaeus. There is no description and so O. caffra would be a nomen nudum anyway.
