| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- In the descriptive text Felder placed in this genus only the new nominal species Holochila absimilis and this would have been the type-species by monotypy, if it had not been for the fact that in a footnote he stated that he proposed the generic name Holochila as a replacement for the name Erina Swainson, 1833. In these circumstances Holochila automatically takes as its type-species the species which is the type-species of the nominal genus (Erina Swainson) which it was introduced to replace, namely the nominal species Papilio erinus Fabricius, 1775. Felder was in error in believing that the generic name Erina Swainson was invalid. It is in fact a nomenclatorially available name not in need of replacement for any reason. Accordingly, the replacement name Holochila is itself invalid, as a junior objective synonym of Erina Swainson, 1833, which it was mistakenly introduced to replace. Cowan (1970: 48) stated:- HOLOCHILA Felder, 1862. This genus was not monotypic. Two species were included; No. 168, Holochila ahsimilis (Scott ms.) Felder. No. 169, H. erinus Fabricius (hyacinthina Scott ms.). By citing the Fabrician name, and the tautonymic generic name Erina Swainson, Felder under our current Code automatically sank Holochila in the synonymy of Erina, as Hemming shows. But in fact, as Scott obviously realised and as Australians are well aware, Papilio erinus Fabricius has no connection with this natural genus, which Felder based on a misidentified "type-species". As others are dealing with the situation, no more is here said. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
