Etymology Authors, none of whom have treated Aonides as masculine, may have assumed 'Aonides' was derived from the collective name for the female Muses from Mount Helicon in Aonia, an earlier name for Boeotia, and thus have treated Aonides as feminine, although the current code requires '-ides' names to be treated as masculine if other indications (eg from the type species) are lacking. Claparède's intention for construction of Aonides (see earlier note) indicates it is a modification from the disused genus 'Aonis'. Foster (1971 65) states the genus Aonides gender is feminine and named for the Boeotian women muses. This seems to be correct, as 'Aonis' of Savigny should have the same etymological origin (Aonis is a Boeotian woman), and Audouin & Milne Edwards' later adoption of Savigny's name clearly treats their Aonis as feminine, as their adjectival species name is Aonis foliosa. Thus it does not matter if Aonides Claparède is a direct reference to the Greek mythological female muses or (more likely) is derived secondarily from the feminine genus Aonis as the result should happily be the same. The genus Aonides of Claparède is intended to be feminine. [details]

Etymology Not stated. The generic name Aonides is composed by the name of the genus Aonis sensu Audouin & Milne Edwards, 1833 [not Savigny, 1822], followed by the Greek suffix -ides, meaning 'son of' or 'descendant of', probably making reference to the similarity between the two genera, according to Claparède (1864: 505): ''Ce genre est voisin des Aonis Sav.; mais il s'en distingue immédiatement par l'absence du tentacle céphalique impair et subulé, et par la condensation des branchies sur les segments de la partie antérieure du corps.'' [details]
