| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- In the course of the long history of the name Hesperia Fabricius there have been periods in which widely separated species were regarded as being the type-species. The most confusing of these misusages was that of Papilio malvae Linnaeus as the type-species of this genus, for this involved also a complete misconception as to the content of the subfamily concerned. Full particulars regarding the nature and causes of these misconceptions were published by myself in 1934 (Gen. Names hol. Butts 1 : 170-172) ; these are not repeated or summarised here, as, in view of the universal acceptance now won for Dalman's selection of Papilio comma Linnaeus as type-species, these earlier controversies have lost their practical significance and are now of historical interest only. Hesperia Fabricius 1793, was proposed for placement on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology by Cowan 1978, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 35 (1) : 56. The Hesperiidae Latreille 1809, was proposed for placement on the Official list of Family-Group Names in Zoology by Cowan 1978, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 35 (1) : 56. HESPERIA was included within the subfamily HESPERIIDAE: HESPERIINAE by Ackery et al., in Kristensen (1999). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
