| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Idrusia was introduced as a replacement for the name Euripus Doubleday in the belief that it was invalid as being a junior homonym of the name Eurypus Kirby, [1919], (Trans. linn. Soc. Lond. 12 (2) : 390). At that time there was no clear rule as to what constituted generic homonymy, but under the present revised Code (Article 56 (a)) a single-letter difference in spelling is sufficient to prevent any two generic names from ranking as homonyms of one another. Accordingly, the name Euripus Doubleday is not invalid under the Law of Homonymy and the name Idrusia Corbet, proposed as a replacement for it, is itself invalid as a junior objective synonym. Cowan (1970: 49) stated:- [1919] to read - [1819]. Idrusia Corbet is in fact an unnecessary replacement name, although Ackery et al. in Kristensen (1999: 289) treat Idrusia as a valid generic name when referring to Idrusia nyctelius. IDRUSIA was included within the subfamily NYMPHALIDAE: APATURINAE by Ackery et al., in Kristensen (1999). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
