| Memo: | "Hemming (1967) stated:- The word "Nymphalis" is one of a number used by Linnaeus in 1758 and his immediate successors for terms intermediate between the generic name Papilio Linnaeus and groups of species referred to the genus so named. The claim of these terms to be recognized as having been published as generic names was rejected by the Commission in its Opinion 124 (1936, Smithson. miscell. Coll. 73 (No. 8) : 1-2 ; republished in facsimile in 1958 (Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 1 (B) : 465-466)). The word "Nymphalis", together with the other words used in a similar sense in the XVIIIth century were later employed as generic names, and it proved difficult to determine what was the first genuine usage as a generic name. As shown above, it was Kluk who in 1802 who first so used the name here in question. The name Nymphalis Kluk has been placed on the 0fficial List of Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 703. Cowan (1970: 52) stated:- [last line] "No. 703" to read - No. 7 The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America. |
