Discussion: Reviewed by Marshall (1978 d, Mammalian Species, 109). The spelling variegatus Illiger, 1815, is a nomen nudum. The spellings memia Desmarest, 1803, memina Boddaert, 1784, memina F. Cuvier, 1825, memmina Desmarest, 1804, and memmina Muirhead, 1819, are incorrect subsequent spellings of minimus Zimmermann.
