| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Anteros axiochus Hewitson is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio achytas [sic, see below] Stoll, [1787], the type-species of the nominal genus Aethius [sic, see below] Hübner, [1819]. That name has however been completely neglected, while the name Ourocnemis Baker has been in continuous use ever since it was published over seventy years ago. Accordingly, as has already been explained, an publication is being submitted to the Commission for the suppression of the name Aethius Hübner, (q.v.) thereby protecting the name Ourocnemis Baker. Cowan (1968: 13) stated:- OUROCNEMIS, line 5; "Papillo achytas" should read Papilio archytas lines 6, 9; "Aethius" should read; Aetheius Cowan (1968, Annot. Rhop: 8.) made the following comment for this and other genera:- The status and type-species of the following genera are at present the subjects of pending applications to the Commission. Against each is shown its relevant Z.N.(S.) Case Number; * Aetheius Hübner, 1819; 1678 Capys Hewitson; 1748 * Euphaedra Hübner; 1686 * Gonophlebia Felder; 1688 Mantoides Druce; 1768 * Najas Hübner; 1686 Neolycaena de Niceville; 1758 * Ourocnemis Baker; 1687 * Pseudopontia Plotz; 1688 Scoptes Hübner; 1748 Thrix Doherty; 1768 Virgarina Druce; 1768 Of these six Aetheius, Gonophlebia, Najas are all nomina oblita, whose revival would threaten respectively the well-known Ourocnemis, Pseudopontia, and Euphaedra. The Commission is at present deferring rulings on nomina oblita. Ourocnemis Baker, 1887 (Riodinidae [now Rionininae, LYCAENIDAE]), has been conserved by the suppresion of Aetheius Hübner, 1819; Anon-1381, 1986, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 43 (1) : 42. Originally proposed by Hemming 1964, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 22 : 103. No comments were recieved. In 1973 a comment from Cowan, was treated in the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 30 : 133 - 134. Again no comment was recieved. A revision was published by Cowan 1983, Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 40 (4) : 246. Yet again no comment was recieved. Only in 1985 was the vote taken and passed to conserve Ourocnemis. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America. |
