REMARKS:
Rondani (1861e: 11)
spelled
Clorisoma
Rondani, 1856
as
Chlorisoma
, a name preoccupied by
Chlorisoma
Swainson, 1837
, and therefore proposed the new replacement name
Chlorosia
for it (see below). However, by using the changed spelling of
Chlorisoma
for
Clorisoma
,
Rondani (1861e: 11)
made the former name available as an emendation because this
type
of spelling change (from “c” to “ch”) was done for two or more names in the same work.
Clorisoma
Rondani, 1856
is currently treated as a junior synonym of
Microchrysa
Loew, 1855
