From editor or global species database

Classification Potts (1910) created Palmyropsis in Family Palmyridae (now invalid, type genus now in Aphroditidae), evidently overlooking the existing subgenus Palmyra (Palmyropsis) of Claparède, 1864. At the time chrysopetalid forms were also included in Palmyridae. Schmarda (1861) had placed (now) chrysopetalid genera Paleanotus and Bhawania in Palmyridae [details]

Homonymy Augener (1922: 9-10) noticed that Palmyropsis Potts, 1910 was an unavailable name as a junior homonym of Palmyra (Palmyropsis) Claparède, 1864 [details]
