Eitschberger, Danner & Surholt (1998: 127) described the subgenus Jilinga in Hemaris Dalman, 1816 (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae: Macroglossinae: Dilophonotini) with Hemaris staudingeri Leech, 1890 as its type species. The name Jilinga is preoccupied by Ghauri (1974: 51), who described a leafhopper genus Jilinga with type species Deltocephalus darjilingensis Distant, 1918, in the subfamily Deltocephalinae (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae).  Therefore, Jilinga Eitschberger, Danner & Surholt, 1998 is a junior homonym of Jilinga Ghauri, 1974, per the ICZN (1999), and I hereby propose Neojilinga nom. nov. as the replacement name for Jilinga Eitschberger, Danner & Surholt, 1998. The new combination for the included species is Hemaris (Neojilinga) staudingeri (Leech, 1890).
