Simomesia Enderlein, 1912 https://www.gbif.org/species/1678761

should probably be

Semomesia Westwood, 1851 https://www.catalogueoflife.org/data/taxon/92MPK

Rather unlikely. There are several species in IRMNG, the authorship is very different and its Diptera vs Lepidoptera. https://www.irmng.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1385126

Any evidence they are the same and just a misspelling?
