From editor or global species database
Editor's comment 'Nanina nitidissima (E. A. Smith, 1885)' used to be a secondary junior homonym of 'Nanina nitidissima (Mollendorff, 1883)'; 'Nanina treasuryensus' being a replacement name. This replacement name continues to be valid in accordance with Art. 59.3 of the Code. It was subsequently used by Clapp (1923) as 'Nanina treasuryensis' and I. Rensch & B. Rensch, 1936 as 'Orpiella treasuryensis'. This was ignored by Delsaerdt (2006), who incorrectly gave preference to 'nitidissima' E. A. Smith, 1885 over 'treasuryensis' Tryon, 1886. [details]
