| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Boisduval introduced the name Eurycus as a replacement for Cressida Swainson, 1832, which he rejected on the ground of tautonymy with the specific name of the nominal species Papilio cressida Fabricius, 1775. Nomenclatorially (though not taxonomically) Boisduval was in error, for, as has been shown in the note on the name Cressida Swainson, the type-species of that genus is the nominal species Cressida heliconides Swainson, but the taxon represented by that nominal species is considered on taxonomic grounds to be the same as that represented by the nominal species Papilio cressida Fabricius. Boisduval did not cite the nominal species Cressida heliconides Swainson, when establishing the genus Eurycus, but, as Eurycus was introduced as a replacement for Cressida, it automatically takes as its type-species the nominal species which is the type-species of the genus bearing the replaced name. Cowan (1970: 16) stated:- The title of Boisduval's "1836" [cf. title-page] (in Roret, Suite àBuffon, Hist, nat. Ins.) Spec. gén. Lépid. 1 has become garbled into "Consid. gén. Lépid 1", or a variant, in a large block of entries between Calais (: 85) and Gamana (: 195). The date is wrongly given as [1836] throughout. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
