Adamas (sawfly) explained

Adamas is a genus of sawflies belonging to the family Tenthredinidae. It is sometimes referred to in the literature under the name Dinax, but this name is a junior homonym of a name validly published in 1848; claims that the 1848 name was not validly published (e.g., ^[1]) have been subsequently refuted.^[2]
