Spelling Leach, in his original description of the genus, wrote Ampithoe, but most people are convinced that he meant to honour the nymph Amphitoe, and therefore corrected the spelling. As Leach never was explicit, however, this correction is not permitted and the original spelling Ampithoe has to stand.
Many authors, up to Traudl Krapp-Schickel and Denise Bellan-Santini in the 1980's, have continued to use the spelling Amphithoe. And this is the main reason , that the names of later genera, based on the genus name Ampithoe, often have the spelling with the ph: Peramphithoe, Paramphithoe etc. The case of Sunamphitoe is special, as here a further spelling mistake crept in and has now to be perpetuated for ever.

The rules of nomenclature are clear enough, in this case, so that no special rulings have ever been necessary. All the genus names in this family, as in all others, have to be spelled the way their original authors spelled them. But in this family one has to be extra careful to get it right. [details]
