| Memo: | Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- The type-species was included by Stephens as "corticana Hüb" i.e., Tortrix corticana as used by Hübner, [1799], Samml. eur. Schmett. 7: pl.3 fig.13. Hübner, [1825], realized that this [1799] usage of corticana was a misidentification and he established A. turbidana to denote that taxon. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a misidentified type-species is to be referred to the Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal species will "best serve stability and universality of nomenclature". We suggest that the Commission be asked to designate as the type-species of Antithesia Stephens, 1829, the nominal species actually involved namely Apotomis turbidana Hübner, [1825]. Unavailable designation of type-species: Tortrix corticana was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid.) 1: 148. In his Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera designated up to 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". Boisduval's type-designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work well-known to lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by Hemming or by other authors. Antithesia was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 172, and by Stephens, 1834, Illust. Br. Ent. (Haustellata) 4: 86. See also: * Anthitesia Duponchel, [1845]. Antithesia is a junior objective synonym of Apotomis Hübner, [1825]. Not in Gilligan, T. M., J. Baixeras, J. W. Brown & K. R. Tuck. 2012 |
