ETYMOLOGY
Named afer Samarendra Maulik, who originally described this species as T. citri .
COMMENTS
Maulik (1928) erected the monotypic genus Throscoryssa for a sin- gle species citri from Assam. Throscoryssa was synonymized with Clitea ( Konstantinov & Prathapan 2008) , which is a synonym of Amphimela Chapuis ( Medvedev 2001) . Bryant (1922) described Cercyonia citri from the Gold Coast in Africa as a serious pest of citrus plants. Scherer (1961) synonymized Cercyonia with Amphimela . As Amphimela citri ( Maulik 1928) is a junior secondary homonym of Amphimela citri ( Bryant 1922) , a replacement name is proposed here as per article 60.3 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature ( International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1999).
