Anticheira parthena
);
Soula 2005: 370

Note.
Soula (1998: 109)
upholds the synonymy of
Antichira vidua
Ohaus, 1922
(p. 327) and
A. parthena
as proposed by
Machatschke (1972: 69)
, while he places the species in the newly erected genus
Exanticheira
. He does, however, invoke the principle of priority and makes
E. vidua
the valid name, with
E. parthena
as its synonym. In
Soula (2005: 369
, 370) this synonymy is revoked and the names are again treated separately, with
A. vidua
Ohaus, 1930
once more becoming a homonym of
E. vidua
Ohaus, 1922
, and thus having
E. parthena
as its replacement name.
