From editor or global species database
Editor's comment Logically the combination Euclymene amphistoma must exist as Clymene amphistoma is the type species of genus Euclymene, although it appears no one has used the combination in literature (due to mistaken action by Verrill in not naming C. amphistoma as the type species of Verrill's replacement name, Euclymene. Possibly Clymene amphistoma is a nomen oblitum, but McIntosh (1915) has three usages of the name, in which he first suggests the species is an Isocirrus, then he gives Grube's definition (23 chaetigers, 3 pre-anal) and a few pages later he suggests it is senior to Nicomache maculata. It is doubtful if these mentions qualify as usages as a valid name. [details]
