Name

Oncocephala Guérin-Méneville, 1844

Synonyms

• Onchocephala Chevrolat, 1836 (Nom. Nud.)
• Onchocephala Guérin-Méneville, 1844 - NOTE: not a homonym, as Chevrolat's name was unavailable, and Blainville's name Onchocephala was for a family-rank taxon and does not compete for homonymy with genus-rank names (see, e.g. Acanthocephala).
• Oncocephala Agassiz, 1846: 259 - NOTE: an unjustified emendation, but this spelling is in prevailing usage and can be maintained under ICZN Art. 33.2.3.1 so long as authorship is attributed to Guérin-Méneville, 1844, and not to Agassiz.
