Additional information The original spelling used by Verhoeff, 1944 was "Hawaicambala," but this genus was listed as "Hawaiicambala" in Hoffman (1980), a subsequent incorrect spelling. [details]
Taxonomic remark According to Footnote 1 in Shelley et al. (1998): Verhoeff (1944) erected Hawaicambala, spelled as “Hawaiicambala” by Hoffman (1980), for these cambaloids, but this genus was invalidly proposed because no type species was designated nor were any species specifically included. Verhoeff’s proposal was accompanied by the general statement, “Ein Dutzend Arten beschrieb Silvestri von Hawai, eine Art Attems von Japan,” but genus-group names proposed after 1931 must include at least one component species to be valid. Consequently, Hawaicambala Verhoeff, 1944, has no standing in nomenclature (Jeekel, 1971, Hoffman, 1980). To rectify this situation, Mauriès (1983) designated Dimerogonus aveburyi Silvestri (1904) as the type species of Hawaicambala and thereby also became the author of the genus. Consequently, if a separate genus is required for the Hawaiian cambaloids, the taxon will be Hawaicambala Mauriès, 1983, not Hawaicambala Verhoeff, 1944; otherwise, Hawaicambala Mauriès is a synonym of Nannolene.
