= Dulichia Walker, 1855: 779 [key], 809 (TS: Dulichia fasciata Walker, 1855: 809). Dulichia Walker is a junior homonym of Dulichia Kroyer, 1845: 512, 521 (Crustacea). The objective replacement name is Knappetra.

There is no objective replacement name but E. leucophaea is here placed as a junior subjective synonym of Porthesia limbalis Herrich-Schäffer, [1855], the type species of Urocoma Herrich-Schäffer, [1858], the latter is therefore available for use as a subjective replacement name (Nye 1975).

= Gogana Walker, 1866: 1920 (TS: Gogana atrosquama Walker, 1866: 1921). Gogana Walker, 1866: 1920 is a junior homonym of Gogana Walker, 1865: 1219 (Drepanidae). There is no objective replacement name but G. atrosquama is the senior subjective synonym of Choerotricha glandulosa Felder, 1 874, the type species of Choerotricha Felder, 1874, the latter is therefore available for use as a subjective replacement name (Nye 1975).
