Abstract

It is remarked that the type species of Bozanonia Bálint, 2022 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), Lycaena astorica Tytler, 1926, is a junior primary homonym and a junior subjective synonym of Lycaena astorica Evans, 1925. Tennentia Bálint, 2022 is a junior homonym of Tennentia Humbert, 1862 (Mollusca), therefore Johntennentia nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for it. It is remarked that the author and year of description of the type species of Tennentia Bálint, 2022, Lycaena martini Allard, 1867, was erroneously cited as “Oberthür, 1861” in the original publication.
