Comment:
Unresolved secondary homonymy is shown by Platnick (2012, online World Spider Catalog v12.5): In the same work, Simon (1902) described Diadocyrtus decoursei (p.596) and Genysochoera decoursei (p.597). These are both currently placed in the genus Genysa (per Platnick, online World Spider Catalog v12.5), with a note on the latter saying 'if actually congeneric, and not conspecific, with the above species, a replacement name will be necessary.' These secondary homonyms have identical priority under the ICZN, and their status apparently remains unresolved
