In the initial line of the original description of T. optima (fig. 569)
the generic name is misspelled, '' Trymaltis," while in the second line
and in the index this name is spelled correctly, Trymalitis. The
erroneous spelling is used by TiUyard, 1926 (Insects Australia and
New Zealand, p. 427) and by Neave, 1940 (Nomenclator Zoologicus,
vol. 4, p. 584).
