| Memo: | Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Unavailable designation of type-species: Tinea echiella [Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid.) 1: 150. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and designated as many as three different type-species for each generic name. In his "Exposé de notre Méthode", pages 155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type".. and if it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species". Boisdival's type designation, although clearly stated, do not fufill the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists, the type-designation contained in a have not been accepted by Hemming or by other authors. Some authors who citing the type-species have attributed its fixation to Westwood, 1840, Introd. mod. Classif. Insects 2 (Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 111, on the basis of Melanoleuca being placed as a junior synonym of Anesychia Hübner, [1825], for which the type was designated. This is not an acceptable method of fixation under the Code. A junior objective synonym of Anesychia Hübner, [1825]. Melanoleuca was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 202. |
