Note: The publication date of Hyposcotis was unclear for a long time, because the work of Huebner that contains the name has been published in several installments between 1816 and 1826, and neither the page ranges of the individual installments nor their issue dates are known. However, it is now widely accepted that the pages that also contain the original description of the genus name Hyposcotis were issued in 1825. Thus, the name Hyposcotis is older than the name Charissa, which was published in 1826, and therefore has nomenclatural priority. It is here regarded as the valid name for the genus.
