| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- In accordance with the then fashionable `Principle of Elimination' Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 100) considered that Papilio busirus was ineligible to be the type-species of this genus, and thereupon sought to make Achlyodes fridericus Hübner, [1819] (Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 108) type-species in its stead. There was no justification for rejecting the selection of Papilio busirus as type-species, which is perfectly valid. Moreover, even if at that time Achlyodes had been without a validly selected type-species, Scudder's selection of Achlyodes fridericus would have been invalid, for when its name appeared in the Verzeichniss this was only a manuscript species, the name fridericus being then only a nomen nudum. The species concerned remained without a validly published name until in 1832 (in Hübner, Zutr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 4 : 9, pl. [106], figs 611, 612) Geyer validated Hübner's manuscript name, using it in the same combination (Achlyodes fridericus). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
