Name

Mollicoecia Graves, 2012

• Gender: feminine
• Status: invalid, nomen nudum
• Remarks: The name Mollicoecia was proposed as a substitutional name for Mollicia Poulsen, 1973, as that generic name was assumed to represent a junior homonym of Mollicia Marples, 1964. However "Mollicia" was nothing but a misspelling for Mollica, itself nowadays regarded as an unjustified emendation of Mollika Peckham & Peckham, 1901, a synonym of Omoedus Thorell, 1881.
