Nomenclature Amphinome capillata does not represent a new taxon. It is a superfluous replacement name for Aphrodita flava of which it is an objective synonym. The combination which would have been appropriate at the time of "Amphinome flava" may not have an historic usage as this combination does not appear in a BHL search. [details]
