Coordinator notes: The name <i>Himella</i> was first introduced by Dallas in 1852 for bugs of the family Coreidae. Since it is still used as a valid generic name in Heteroptera, and is an older name than the <i>Himella</i> proposed by Grote in 1874, Ozdikmen and Seven proposed that the Lepidopteran <i>Himella</i> be replaced by <i>Kocakina</i?
