[Jim Croft]

How about calling it apohomonymy?  Given that is 'away from' the thing

However, I find that most definitions of hemihomonymy seem to refer to a different, within Code, phenomenon, whereby a genus name can be identical to a family group or higher name. Are there distinct names for these two distinct problems? Does hemihomonymy apply to both?
