Coordinator notes: <i>Callima argenticinctella</i> Clemens, 1860, formerly in the genus <i>Epicallima</i> Dyar, [1903], an unnecessary replacement of <i>Callima</i> Clemens, 1860 which was thought to be a homonym of <i>Callima</i> Herrich-Schäffer, 1858, in turn a misspelling of the name <i>Kallima</i> Westwood, 1849, is returned to <i>Callima</i> in Hodges (1974). The name <i>Epicallima</i> has continued to be used by some authors without justification.
