REMARKS: There is no evidence in Robineau-Desvoidy (1863a) that the spelling of his Westwodia is “an inadvertent error”, which means that this is the correct original spelling. This genus-group name is therefore not preoccupied by Westwoodia Brullé, 1846 or Westwoodia Bate, 1857 . Subsequent workers have commonly misspelled the Robineau-Desvoidy name as “ Westwoodia ” thereby leading to the errant assumption that it is preoccupied. However, the orthography in Herting (1974: 26) is an intentional (although unjustified) emendation.
EMENDATIONS: Westwoodia Herting, 1974: 26 (unjustified), n. syn.
