Claim: Gennaria griffithii was attempted by Károly Soó von Bere to transfer to its own separate genus under the name “Dithrix decipiens,” therefore making it the first specie to be given its own genus name before its publication.
Evidence: This was doubly invalid, because the genus name "Dithrix" had not been validly published, and griffithii rather than "decipiens" was the published epithet for the species.
