| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Oreas Felder (C.) & Felder (R.) was introduced as a new name, but no type-species was designated for the genus so named. Realizing that this generic name was invalid under the Law of Homonymy, Kirby in 1871 replaced it by the name Rusalkia but he in his turn did not designate a type-species. A type-selection for either of these nominal genera would automatically have constituted a type-selection for both, but none was made until in 1964 I selected Oreas marathon to be the type-species of Oreas Felder & Felder and therefore also of the replacement genus Rusalkia Kirby, 1871. Oreas Felder & Felder is invalid as a junior homonym of Oreas Hübner, [1807]. Its replacement Rusalkia Kirby, 1871, is an available name. Cowan (1970: 54) stated:- RUSALKIA Kirby, 1871, Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep. (1) : 306. Type-species by designation by Kirby, 1873 (Zool. Record 1871 : 364) : Oreas marathon Felder & Felder, [1865], Reise Fregatte "Novara" Lep. Rhop. (2) : 305, pl. 38, figs. 23, 24. Rusalkia Kirby was a replacement name for Oreas Felder & Felder, [1865], of which Oreas marathon was an originally included species. Kirby's designation was thus valid for both genera. Scudder, 1875 : 264 cited Kirby's designation, and connected it with both. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
