Abstract

The genus Nomuraelmis Satô, 1964 was synonymized with the genus Stenelmis Dufour, 1835 in the article. As a result, the monotypic species Nomuraelmis amamiensis Satô, 1964 was transferred to the genus Stenelmis and the combination Stenelmis amamiensis (Satô, 1964) was made. However, this name was preoccupied by Stenelmis amamiensis Nomura, 1957 (now Ordobrevia amamiensis). After the publication of the article, the displacement name Stenelmis amami Yoshitomi et Hayashi, 2021 was proposed by Yoshitomi & Hayashi (2021) for the secondary junior homonym Stenelmis amamiensis (Satô, 1964).
