Girault (1935)
transferred
E. variegatus
to
Tetrastichodes
, and supplied the replacement name
T. kochi
as
variegatus
was preoccupied. Although not specifically stated, he could only have thought that the homonymy was caused due to his considering that
S. varigatus
properly belonged in
Tetrastichodes
(see
Dahms, 1986
: 624, 625-6 under
Epomphaloides variegatum
and
Selitrichodes varigatus
). As
varigatus
and
variegatus
must be considered as distinct names which do not compete for homonomy,
kochi
becomes an unnecessary substitute name.
