The genus name Brosis was first proposed by J. Hübner in 1806, but in a book - the famous Tentamen determinsationis - that was essentially an immense discussion paper and not a valid work of zoological nomenclature. When Hübner came to validly erect the genus in his 1822 genus list, it had already been used by G.J. Billberg for what is nowadays considered the Incurvariidae genus Incurvaria.
