Homonymy Euphrosine is not a homonym, whereas Euphrosyne is unavailable as a junior homonym to Euphrosyne Meigen 1800 in Diptera. Perhaps Lamarck (1818) was aware of the other name when he adopted the Euphrosine spelling. [details]
Spelling Euphrosyne is the usual spelling of the name of the Greek Goddess, but Lamarck used Euphrosine in the original description, perhaps as 'Y" is uncommon in Latin, with 'i' used instead, or because Lamarck knew Euphrosyne was preoccupied. Many later authors ignored that and used Euphrosyne instead, following Savigny's earlier use in the 'Description de l'Égypte' unpublished manuscript. But Euphrosyne is a junior homonym [details]Unreviewed
Habitat Known from seamounts and knolls [details]
Taxonomy Fauchald, K. (1977) refers to Euphrosine as first described by Savigny, 1818 instead of Lamarck, 1818. [details]
