| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The present nominal genus was established by Butler conditionally in a note which he furnished to Edwards and which was included by that author in a supplementary note to his description of his own genus Lintneria. In this note Butler wrote that Hesperia zampa which Edwards had decided to make the type-species of his genus, "seems to belong to a group of species provisionally retained under Thanaos and of which I consider H. daunus Cramer to be the type". Edwards went on to say that Butler had at the same time sent him "a pen drawing of daunus, its antennae, palpi, etc." ; he added that "the definition of the genus is his [Butler's] own". While it is quite likely that Butler, when writing to Edwards, did not contemplate the possibility of his note being published, that note serves to establish a nominal genus with Papilio daunus Cramer as its designated type-species. It was correctly recognized as such by Kirby in [1879] (in Zool. Rec. 14 (year 1877) (Ins.) : 139). Thereafter, this name was largely overlooked, until the publication in 1925 (Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 18 : 91) of the important paper on the type-species of the Hesperioid genera by Lindsey, in which it was specifically pointed out that, although Edwards had included Butler's note as a supplement to his description of his genus Lintneria, he did not incorporate Butler's observations as part of his description of that genus. Fortunately, this incident is of academic interest only, for the name Lintneria Butler - if, as here considered, Butler's note constituted the publication of that name - would, like the undoubted generic name Lintneria Edwards, published on the same occasion, be invalid under the Law of Homonymy. From the taxonomic point of view the two species here under consideration belong to widely separated branches of the Hesperioid stock : the type-species of Systasea Edwards, June 1877, the replacement genus established to take the place of the nominal genus Lintneria Edwards, March 1877, is currently placed in the Neotropical group which Evans (1953 : 1, 160) called the "Telemiades Group" of his Section 2 of the Pyrginae ; the type-species of Lintneria Butler, on the other hand, is currently placed in the genus Thorybes Scudder, 1872, which was put by Evans (1952 : 1, 42, 129, 130) in what he called the "Urbanus Group" of his Section 1 of the above subfamily. Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- Lintneria when established contained two other species but both of these were doubtfully included and under the Code, Article 68(c), are not eligible for fixation as type-species. Kitching & Cadiou (2000) include GARGANTUA Kirby, 1892; HERSE Agassiz, 1846; HERSE Oken, 1815; HYLOECUS Agassiz, 1846; HYLOECUS Kuznetsova, 1906; HYLOICUS Hübner, 1819; LETHIA Hübner, 1819; LINTNERIA Butler, 1876; MESOSPHINX Cockerell, 1920; and SPECTRUM Scopoli, 1777 as junior synonyms of SPHINX Linnaeus, 1758. |
