Taxacom: Correct spelling / history of a fossil fish name: Astrolepis/Asterolepis Eichwald, 1840

[Douglas Yanega]

There is a genus name Asterolepis Razowski, 1964, presently used as 
valid in Lepidoptera.

Only if the fish name is actually Astrolepis, and the variant 
"Asterolepis" is treated as incorrect, will this moth name NOT be a 
junior homonym.

Peace,
