From editor or global species database
Nomenclature Colombophiloscia Vandel, 1981 is a homonym but not a synonym of Colombophiloscia Vandel, 1968; however, the 1968 name is not available because no type species was designated. The 1968 name was validated by Leistikow (2001), who selected a type species, but the result is that the 2001 name is now a homonym of the 1981 name and is in need of replacement. [details]
