Editor's comment The genus Filograna has been attributed to Oken (1815) by e.g. Hartman (1959). However, Oken used filograna as species name in the combination Clymene filograna, S.(erpula) filograna; the species name was elevated to generic rank by Berkeley (1835). [details]
Nomenclature The misspelling and missattribution by Mörch is only one of series of misleading usages related to Filograna. This record of 'Filigrana' reports Mörch's attribution of the genus 'Filigrana' to Oken, 1815: 379. That is incorrect as Oken used the name only as a species-group name, and he used the spelling 'filograna'. See notes on Filograna for further issues concerning authorship. [details]
