| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- In introducing the name Gonophlebia in the paper cited above, Rudolf Felder gave a figure of the species Globiceps paradoxa established jointly by his father Cajetan Felder and himself in the previous year. In doing so, he cited the name of that species as Gonophlebia (Globiceps) paradoxa. He gave no explanation of his action in citing the older name Globiceps in brackets (parantheses) after his new name Gonophlebia, but it seems likely that he was aware that the earlier name was invalid under the Law of Homonymy. This however, is no more than a conjecture and it seems better therefore to treat this nominal genus as having had its type-species determined by monotypy (Article 68 (c)) rather than through the replacement procedure (Article 67 (i). The name Gonophlebia, though an available name, has been completely overlooked in the literature, this genus being invariably known by the name Pseudopontia Plötz also published in 1870. Unfortunately, the name Gonophlebia has priority over Pseudopontia, having been published in June 1870, whereas the name Pseudopontia was not published until September of that year. Great confusion would result if it were necessary now to abandon the long-established and universally accepted name Pseudopontia. To prevent this from taking place, the Commission is being asked to suppress the name Gonophlebia for the purposes of the Law of Priority, thus rendering the name Pseudopontia Plötz the oldest available name for the present genus. In accordance with the provisions of Article 80 that in cases such as the present existing usage is to be maintained, pending the publication of the Commission's decision on the application, the name Pseudopontia Plötz is treated in the present work as the oldest available name for this genus, the older name Gonophlebia Felder being treated as having been invalidated in the manner proposed. Cowan (1968, Annot. Rhop: 8.) made the following comment for this and other genera:- The status and type-species of the following genera are at present the subjects of pending applications to the Commission. Against each is shown its relevant Z.N.(S.) Case Number; * Aetheius Hübner, 1819; 1678 Capys Hewitson; 1748 * Euphaedra Hübner; 1686 * Gonophlebia Felder; 1688 Mantoides Druce; 1768 * Najas Hübner; 1686 Neolycaena de Niceville; 1758 * Ourocnemis Baker; 1687 * Pseudopontia Plotz; 1688 Scoptes Hübner; 1748 Thrix Doherty; 1768 Virgarina Druce; 1768 Of these six Aetheius, Gonophlebia, Najas are all nomina oblita, whose revival would threaten respectively the well-known Ourocnemis, Pseudopontia, and Euphaedra. The Commission is at present deferring rulings on nomina oblita. Cowan (1968: 12) stated:- GONOPHLEBIA, line 1 "2 (24) 9 : 5" should read; 2 (24) : 95 [genus page number]. Gonophlebia Felder, 1870, is a junior [subjective] synonym of Pseudopontia Plotz, 1870 given by Cowan, 1983, Z.N. (S.) 1688, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 40 (1) : 42. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
