From Pitkin & Jenkins, 2020: A junior homonym of Melania Lamarck, [1799], Mém. Soc. Hist. nat. Paris [1]: 75. There is no objective replacement name but L. nigropunctata Wallengren, the type-species of Melania Wallengren, is a junior subjective synonym of S. caffra Walker, the latter is therefore available for use as a subjective replacement name.
