| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Moore introduced the name Lehera as a replacement for the name Artipe Boisduval, 1870, which he erroneously supposed was invalid under the Law of Homonymy. The name which Moore supposed was a senior homonym of Artipe Boisduval was Artipus Schoenherr, 1823, but under Article 57 (d) (One-letter-difference) these names do not rank as homonyms of one another. The replacement name Lehera was therefore unnecessary and is invalid as a junior objective synonym of Artipe Boisduval. As a replacement for Artipe Boisduval, Lehera Moore automatically takes as its type-species the species which is the type-species of Artipe, namely Papilio amyntor Herbst. Moore, no doubt, realized this, but in accordance with a practice current at the time he considered it legitimate in a case such as the present to cite as the type-species not the nominal species which was the actual type-species of the genus replaced but the nominal species bearing the oldest available name subjectively identified with the true type-species. What Moore did in the present case was therefore to designate as the type-species of Lehera the nominal species Papilio eryx Linnaeus, 1771 (Mantissa Plant. : 537), the taxon represented by which was then - and is still - treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the later-established nominal species Papilio amyntor Herbst, 1804, the type-species of Artipe Boisduval. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
