Fixed hy: Lucas, 1920, p. 480, by subsequent designation for Paralesteva, 



which is an objective synonym. 

 Discussion : Casey names three forms without stating definitely how many 



he accepts as valid. All are herein considered available. 

 Synonyms : 



Paralesteva Casey, 1905, p. 164. [New name.] 

 Notes: This name has been listed as a junior homonym of Pseudolesteva 

 Schaufuss, but the latter was spelled Pseudolesteua. Unless evidence can 

 be found to justify emending Pseudolesteua to Pseudolesteva, there is no 

 homonymy, and both names must be accepted.

 PSEUDOLIGOTA Cameron, 1920c, p. 213. 



Oenotype: Pseudoligota varians Cameron.
