Comment:
Deans (2005, p. 164) explains that: Evania caspia Spinola, 1830 was listed as a potential synonym of Evania dimidiata Spinola, 1838 by Dalla Torre (1902) and was formally synonymyzed by Hedicke (1939). Dalla Torre and Hedicke both treated dimidiata as the name with priority. Eichwald (1830), however published his name prior to Spinola (1838), and the correct name for this species should be Evania caspia Eichwald. Evania dimidiata Spinola does not satisfy ICZN condition 23.9.1.2 for reversal of precedence and is a junior synonym of Evania caspia Eichwald
