See also: Lithomelissa - Corythomelissa was described as a sub-genus of Lithomelissa;

Original Description
Lithomelissae having the cephalis with three, four or more apical horns including a primary or occipital horn, a secondary or frontal horn, and one or more accessory or parietal horns.

Etymology: but later (1887, p.1237) was stated to be "Dicyrtoidea triradiata clausa. The intent of the first definition is clear but the second one is an obvious error. A new name is required for the species described on pages 1207 and 1208 of the Challenger Repor

Editors' Notes
A new name proposed for Sethomelissa Haeckel, 1887a, p.1207, a junior homonym of Sethomelissa Haeckel, 1881a, p.431.

[In 1887 Haeckel used the name Sethomelissa twice for very different Radiolarida. First it was considered a subgenus of Lithomelissa (p.1207) and later (p.1237) an independent genus. In Haeckel's earlier paper (1881, p.431) the genus was clealy defined as, ""Dicyrtida aperta triradiata
