• "Alcides" sensu Boheman, 1836: 618 (or rather, Boheman in Schoenherr, 1836). Alcides of related concept is preoccupied, junior homonym of Alcides Hübner, 1822 [Lepidoptera], else nec Alcides Sahlberg, 1823 and Schoenherr, 1825. (See comments under Alcidodes e.g. per Lyal & Curran, 2000: 1756. Else see Eugnostus per Boheman/ Schönherr, 1836: 608, Not available, reads Eugnostus Hagenb. in Litteris. as a synonym of his Alcides. See also Alonso-Zarazaga, 1999: 206 under Alcidodes).
