Genus Phalerimeris Betrem in Bradley & Betrem, 1967

Campsomeris (Phalerimeris) Betrem in Bradley & Betrem, 1967: 294 (type species Elis phalerata de Saussure, 1858 , by original designation).

Batalanga Argaman, 1996: 205 (type species Elis phalerata de Saussure, 1858 , by original designation).

Notes

Bradley (1964b) listed the name “ Phaleromeris ” as a subgenus for Campsomeris annulata (now Campsomeriella annulata ). No description was provided, making the name a nomen nudum, and Bradley noted that one would appear in a forthcoming paper by Betrem. Subsequently, Betrem (in Bradley & Betrem 1967) described the subgenus Phalerimeris with Elis phalerata de Saussure, 1858 designated as type species. Argaman (1996) incorrectly regarded Phaleromeris as available from Bradley (1964b), with Phalerimeris as a subsequent spelling variation, and proposed the unnecessary name Batalanga for E. phalerata .
