Memo: Watson, Fletcher & Nye (1980) stated:- Incorrect type-species designations: (1) Phalaena dispar Linnaeus, 1758, cited by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. Gén. Lépid.) 1: 134. Boisduval in his lengthy 154 page introduction, reviewed earlier classifications and designated up to three different type-species for each generic name. In his `Exposé de notre méthode' from page 155-690, no type-species designations were made for the genera he himself used. Under the Code, Article 69(a)(iii), the type-designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type `... and if it clear that he himself accepts it as the type-species'. Boisduval's type-designations although clearly stated do not fulfil the last requirement and so are invalid. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not in the past been accepted by Hemming or other authors. Acceptance of Boisduval's designation in this case would make no difference to the generic concept. (2) Phalaena monacha Linnaeus, 1758, cited by Swinhoe, 1923, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (9) 11: 424, after Hampson's valid designation. A junior homonym of Liparis Scopoli, 1777, Introductio Hist. nat.: 453, Pisces. The objective replacement name is Penthophera Germar, 1812. Liparis Ochsenheimer, 1810 was proposed for placement on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology by Fletcher, Nye & Ferguson, 1980, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 37 (1) : 44. Liparidae Boisduval, 1834 and Lariidae Newman, 1832 were proposed for placement on the Official list of Family-Group Names in Zoology by Fletcher, Nye & Ferguson, 1980, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 37 (1) : 43.
