I get lost at your RD 1860. Both Ernestia and Panzeria date back to 1830.

and if these are valid (with clear type species), they stay valid.

If RD 1983 revised his opinion and added 'rudis' (as rudis really or as microcera ?) to Panzeria, this would imply that he considered the genera Ernestia and Panzeria as synonym. That cannot change the fact that the name Panzeria should have priority simply because it is older.

Ironical, by the way, that me who has been critized for not following the Code, now insists in following the Code.

Anyway, there must be more to this than mentioned above. Based on the material present so far, Ernestia has priority, I cannot see it any other way.
