Ypsolophus lemniscellus Zeller, 1839
Nothris lemniscella (Zeller, 1839)
Nothris lemniscellus (Zeller, 1839)

The species epithet lemniscellus can be regarded as an irregularly formed diminutive of Latin lemniscus ("band, ribbon"), which is a masculine noun. Alternatively, one could argue that the word is not an irregular diminutive, but rather an "invented" name similar to Roman cognomina, which were characterised by unusual endings, lack of any grammatical regularity, and did not have to agree in gender with their bearer. In this case the original description of the name as "Ypsolophus lemniscellus" coined a cognomen "lemniscellus" as a noun in apposition. Thus, the form "lemniscellus" is supported by two independent lines of evidence and this form is therefore adopted here.
