Coordinator notes: Now <i>Callima argenticinctella</i> (Clemens, 1860), formerly in the genus <i>Epicallima</i> Dyar, [1903], an unnecessary replacement of <i>Callima</i> Clemens, 1860 thought to be a homonym of <i>Callima</i> Herrich-Schäffer, 1858, a misspelling of the name <i>Kallima</i> Westwood, 1849, is returned to <i>Callima</i> in Hodges (1974). The name <i>Epicallima</i> has continued to be used by some authors without justification. Per ICZN Article 33 the name is unavailable so Hodges (1974) stands.
