Etymology Unstated? Unknown? Possibly geographic named after the Hypanis River, the Ancient Greek name of the Kuban River in Southern Russia, and which flows into the Sea of Azov, connected to the Black Sea from where Ostroumoff reported his species, Amphicteis antiqua (now Hypania). It seems likely the spellings Hypanis and Hypania have been confused (see the comments on possible homonymy of Hypania) [details]
Homonymy Neave in Nomenclator Zoologicus reports another earlier genus as the mollusc Hypania Kupffer 1831. It seems likely this is a nomen nudum from the context, and possibly a spelling error for what became Hypanis Ménétriés 1832. Thus there is no available name that is senior to Hypania Ostroumoff [interpretation by G. Read, June 2020] [details]
