Taxonomic remark Markevich (1940) proposed the genus Caligopsis with the type species Caligopsis ponticus Markevich, 1940. Unfortunately, the generic name was already preoccupied by Seydel (1924), who had described the genus Caligopsis (with the type species Pavonia seleucida Hewitson, 1877 by monotypy) in butterfly family Nymphalidae. Thus, the genus Caligopsis Markevich, 1940 is a junior homonym of the generic name Caligopsis Seydel, 1924. I propose a new replacement name Markevichus nom. nov. for Caligopsis Markevich, 1940.
Etymology: from A. P. Markevich who is the current author of preexisting genus Caligopsis. [details]
