Notes 
From editor or global species database
Checked: verified by a taxonomic editorEtymology unknown (probably a Greek female given name?). The molluscan and annelid original sources do not indicate a derivation. However, in Nordiska Hafs-Annulater Malmgren multiple times uses ancient Greek female names for new genera. [details]

Checked: verified by a taxonomic editorGrammatical gender feminine as Malmgren changes trilobatus to trilobata. [details]

Checked: verified by a taxonomic editorHomonymy Amaea Malmgren (1866) is a junior homonym to Amaea Adams and Adams 1853 in Gastropoda, and was replaced by the modified spelling Amaeana by Hartman (1959)
