| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Eques is one of the terms used by Linnaeus for subdivisions of his genus Papilio which for a long time caused confusion in nomenclature owing to disagreement among systematists as to whether these terms should be regarded as of subgeneric status as from Linnaeus. It was not until 1936 (Smithson. miscell. Coll. 73 (No. 8) : 1-2 ; republished in facsimile in 1958, Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom 1 (B) : 465-466) that doubts on this subject were finally dispelled, the Commission in that year promulgating its Opinion 124, in which it ruled that these intermediate terms possessed no status in nomenclature. Kirby (1896) was the first author to use the term Eques as a generic name in a strictly binominal sense, and it must therefore be attributed to him. Eques Kirby is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, being a junior homonym of Eques Bloch, 1793 (Nat. ausl. Fische 7 : 90). Eques Kirby, 1896, was treated as a valid genus, Niculescu, 1975, Bollettino del Museo di Zoologia Dell'Universita di Torino 1975 (4) : 95. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
