Nomenclatural corrections for two genus-group names of Lycaenidae (Lepidoptera)
Moseralfia nom. nov. is proposed as a replacement name for Moseria Bálint, 2022 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), a junior homonym of four available generic names, of which Moseria Ghigi, 1909 (Ctenophora: Pleurobrachiidae) is the oldest and currently valid. Szentivanya Bálint, 2022 (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) is a junior homonym of Szentivanya Kaszab, 1958 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae); as it is also a junior objective synonym of Pseudogyris Braby et Müller, 2022, no action is needed.
