15. Recognize
Sphenopsis
Sclater, 1862
(type =
Sphenopsis ignobilis
Sclater
, currently
Hemispingus frontalis
), for
Hemispingus melanotis
(Sclater, 1855)
and
H. frontalis
(Tschudi, 1844)
(
Fig. 3
), as
Sphenopsis melanotis
and
S. frontalis
.
Comments. Burns
et al.
(2014) recommended using
Sphenops
Sclater, 1861
, for this clade, but the original spelling of this genus is
Sphenopsis
Sclater, 1860
,
Sphenops
being an unnecessary emendation.
