## Synonyms

[Junior synonyms](/source/Junior_synonym) of *Nemapogon* are:[3]

- *Anemapogon* Zaguljaev, 1963
- "Brosis" Hübner, 1806 (suppressed name)
- *[Brosis](/source/Incurvaria)* Hübner, 1822 (*non* Billberg, 1820: [preoccupied](/source/Junior_homonym))
- *Diaphthirusa* Hübner, [1825]
- *Longiductus* Zaguljaev, 1964
- *[Nematopogon](/source/Nematopogon)* Agassiz, 1847 (unjustified [emendation](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/emendation); *non* Zeller, 1839: preoccupied)
- *Paranemapogon* Zaguljaev, 1964
- *Petalographis* Zaguljaev, 1962

The genus name *Brosis* was first proposed by [J. Hübner](/source/Jacob_H%C3%BCbner) in 1806, but in a book – the famous *Tentamen determinsationis* ("Preliminary examination") – that was essentially an immense [discussion paper](/source/Discussion_paper) and not a valid work of [zoological nomenclature](/source/Zoological_nomenclature). When Hübner came to validly erect the genus in his 1822 genus list (*Systematisch-alphabetisches Verzeichnis*), it had already been used by [G.J. Billberg](/source/Gustaf_Johan_Billberg) for what is nowadays considered the [Incurvariidae](/source/Incurvariidae) genus *[Incurvaria](/source/Incurvaria)*.[4]
