Type species Type species is Oenone lucida by monotypy. However the type is given as Aglaura fulgida 'Savigny' (actually Lamarck) 1818 in the Fauchald, 1977 pink book, and as Oenone fulgida (Savigny) in the Hartman catalogue. Both are incorrect obviously as the genus Oenone was monotypic. However, Oenone lucida was regarded as a synonym of Aglaura fulgida although both were described together. Aglaura is a junior homonym and cannot be used, thus its synonym Oenone is the valid name. [details]

Etymology Not stated. However, Oenone is a female name from Greek mythology. Basically Oenone was a Naiad nymph of Mount Ida and the abandoned first wife of the infamous Trojan prince Paris. They married when he was a shepherd, unaware of his origins. The myth appears in the 'Heroides' of the Roman poet Ovid, and has been adapted in relatively modern literature, such as a Tennyson poem. It is also the former name of the Greek island of Aegina. (sources - various including a Wikipedia entry and the Perseus digital library. Full story here https://www.ancient.eu/Oenone/). [details]

Etymology Not stated. However, Oenone is a female name from Greek mythology. Basically Oenone was a Naiad nymph of Mount Ida and the abandoned first wife of the infamous Trojan prince Paris. They married when he was a shepherd, unaware of his origins. The myth appears in the 'Heroides' of the Roman poet Ovid, and has been adapted in relatively modern literature, such as a Tennyson poem. It is also the former name of the Greek island of Aegina. (sources - various including a Wikipedia entry and the Perseus digital library. Full story here https://www.ancient.eu/Oenone/). [details]

Homonymy Oenone Lamarck, 1818 is a senior homonym to the Gastropoda name, Oenone Hartman, 1881, a junior synonym of Partula A. Férussac, 1821, and to two other junior Oenone homonyms in Insecta. [details]

Spelling Lamarck 'misspells' Oenone as Aenone on his page 321. Perhaps it was a typesetters error. Neave in Nomenclator Zoologicus gives this spelling a separate entry, but it is clear he thinks it is an error. Aenone Lamarck is in WoRMS as a nomen nudum (no accompanying description). Aenone Risso, 1826 is probably also an error for Oenone Lamarck. The Hartman catalogue has two further "variant spellings" (actually misspellings), namely Anenone and Enone but she does not record who created them [details]

Type species Type species is Oenone lucida by monotypy. However the type is given as Aglaura fulgida 'Savigny' (actually Lamarck) 1818 in the Fauchald, 1977 pink book, and as Oenone fulgida (Savigny) in the Hartman catalogue. Both are incorrect obviously as the genus Oenone was monotypic. However, Oenone lucida was regarded as a synonym of Aglaura fulgida although both were described together. Aglaura is a junior homonym and cannot be used, thus its synonym Oenone is the valid name. [details]
