Etymology Amynthas, also as Amyntas, was a male personal name in Ancient Greece, with for example Amyntas I being king of the ancient Macedonian kingdom of Macedon. [details]

Grammatical gender Masculine, Amynthas/Amyntas was a male personal name in Ancient Greece [details]

Spelling Kinberg first uses the spelling Amynthas, then Amyntas for the genus diagnosis and species description. it appears either spelling could be considered correct (as an ancient Greek male name). However, Amyntas is a junior homonym as Wollaston (1865) had already used the name Amyntas in the Coleoptera (Insecta). Sims & Easton (1972) explain some of the confusion thusly: "Michaelsen, therefore, provided a substitute name by selecting the first of the genera named by Kinberg, Amynthas, but gave it the variant spelling of Amyntas despite the fact that Vaillant (1889 : 62), the first reviser, had cited it correctly as Amynthas. Strictly it is a stretch with today's Code (art. 24.2.3) wording to regard Vaillant as a first revisor as he does not cite the names together as required, but merely prefers the spelling Amynthas, apparenlty without comment. Beddard (1900) accepted Michaelsen’s substitution in his own revision of the genus and adopted the alternative spelling, Amyntas. Michaelsen ( 1900) then discovered that Wollaston (1865) had already proposed the name Amyntas for use in the Coleoptera so he applied the only other available Kinberg name, Pheretima." [details]
