| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- In 1945 (Psyche 52 : 38) Nabokov drew attention to the fact that, when establishing this nominal genus, in which he placed nine nominal species, Draudt had observed that two of these - titicaca Weymer (Lycaena titicaca Weymer 1890) and speciosa Staudinger - belonged to a somewhat different group from the others; on this basis Nabokov sought to argue that these two species had been only doubtfully referred to the genus by its author and therefore that neither was eligible to be selected as the type-species. Nabokov thereupon selected Cupido moza Staudinger, [1894] (loc. cit. 7 : 79-80, pl. 2, fig. 5) as the type-species of this genus. It is true, as Nabokov remarked, that Draudt divided into two groups the species which he placed in this genus, but he certainly did not say anything which would warrant the view that of the nine included nominal species Draudt regarded seven as belonging to the genus Itylos strictly interpreted, the other two species to a different group only doubtfully included in the genus. The contention advanced by Nabokov is therefore considered to be unsound, the view here taken being taken that the nine originally included species were all equally eligible for selection as the type-species and therefore that the selection of Cupido speciosa Staudinger as type-species made in 1929 was perfectly valid under the Code. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America. |
