Homonymy This combination is a senior primary homonym of Sycandra tabulata Schuffner, 1877. Dendy & Row (1913) noticed this already, but assumed both homonyms belonged to Sycon elegans (Bowerbank, 1845). In view of the fact that Haeckel's material was from the Mediterranean, while Schuffner's was from Mauritius this synonymy is judged to be unlikely. The homonymy has been removed by Sycon oscari nomen novum erected by Van Soest & De Voogd, 2018 (p. 150) for Schuffner's species. [details]
