| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- When Hübner established the nominal genus Megamede, he recognized two nominal species as belonging to it, the first of these being a replacement species Megamede rhetenoris then established (: 50) to take the place of Papilio rhetenor Cramer, a nominal species, whose name he rejected for no ascertainable reason. Under the Code (Article 69 (a) (i)) a nominal species, the name of which is cited in a synonymy at the time of the establishment of a nominal genus ranks as one of the originally included nominal species of that genus. Thus, in the present case Scudder's action in selecting Papilio rhetenor as the type-species constitutes a valid type-selection. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
