Etymology Not stated. Demonax (Greek: Δημώναξ, Dēmōnax, gen.: Δημώνακτος) was a male ancient Greek lawmaker of the style of Solon and Lycurgus, known for reforming the constitution of the Cyrenaeans (Cyrene was a coastal town in modern Libya). He lived around 550 BCE. (See e.g., wikipedia) [details]

Grammatical gender Masculine. Demonax is known to be the name of a male Greek lawmaker at around 550 BCE. This gender is strongly confirmed by the masculine endings of two of Kinberg's Demonax adjectival species-group names and of nine subsequent names. [details]

Homonymy Demonax Kinberg, 1867 is a junior homonym (Leiper 1908, Neave 1939 Volume 2, pg. 34) to Demonax Thomson, 1860, a genus of Coleoptera. Parasabella Bush, 1905 is the next available synonym (Tovar-Hernández & Harris 2010) [details]

Type designation On p.186,191 Bush (1905) comments on Demonax, and (p.191) designates the first listed species D. krusensterni as type. Johansson (1925:26, 1927:136) re-examined Kinberg's Demonax types and included four species, questionably including D. krusensterni, under D. leucaspis. Perkins (1984) analysed the history and continued this status, while pointing out Hartman's (1959) listing of D. leucaspis as type is incorrect. [details]
