| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Moore published the name Nissanga as new twice, once (as shown above) in the Lep. Ceylon and once in the Trans. ent. Soc. Lond. (1880 (4) : 169) ; in the first of these Mycalesis patnia is the type-species by monotypy, in the second by original designation. The publication of the name Nissanga took place on each of the above occasions in December 1881. In the case of the Lep. Ceylon version publication is known to have taken place on 14th December ; no information is available as to the date in December on which Nissanga was published in the Transactions and the name there published ranks as from 31st of that month. Accordingly, the Lep. Ceylon version of the name Nissanga ranks as the first to be published. Cowan (1968: 13) stated:- NISSANGA, line 7; "1881" should read; 1880 Cowan (1970: 19) stated:- Moore 2. In dealing with CALYSISME and NISSANGA, Hemming dates Moore's Lep. Ceylon 1 (Rhop.) part (1) as [14 Dec. 1880], while ABARATHA, AMPITTIA and GANGARA in part (4) are made [1882]. Those were the dates of receipt at the British Museum (see Griffin, 1934, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (10) 13 : 555). But the actual publication dates have since been ascertained (Griffin, 1939, J. Soc. Biblphy. nat. Hist. 1 (7) : 206). Part (1) was published in August 1880, the other three parts appearing in January, June and December 1881. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
