Notes:
- According to Kurup and Agre, the genus name Faenia is a Latin feminine plural name. However, according to Rule 10a, the name of a genus must be a substantive, or an adjective used as a substantive, in the singular number. Consequently, Faenia Kurup and Agre 1983 is an illegitimate name. Moreover, the Latin noun faenum is in the neuter gender and the plural nominative should be faena (without i).
