Note		Synonymy: Southern (1914) noted that the name Anaitis was preoccupied by Anaitis Duponchel, 1829 (in Godart & Duponchel, 1829) in Lepidoptera (Insecta), and proposed the replacement name Paranaitis. Apparently, Southern's comment passed by unnoticed, since most authors continued to use Anaitis for the phyllocid taxon, treating it as a subgenus of Phyllodoce Lamarck, 1818. Not until the publication of Hartman's (1959) catalogue did Paranaitis come into current use. [details]
