| Memo: | Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- Unavailable designations of type-species: (1) Tortrix egenana Haworth, 1811, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid.) 1: 148. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and 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 60(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 fulfill the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the type-designation contained in it have not been accepted by Hemming or by other authors. (2) Phalaena gouana Linnaeus, 1767, a nominal species not originally included in Aphelia, and not linked in synonymy with one of the originally included nominal species when cited by Desmarest, 1887, in Chenu, Encycl. Hist. nat. (Papillons nocturnes): 224. Aphelia was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 180. A junior homonym of Aphelia Hübner, [1825], - Lepid., Tortricidae. The objective replacement name is Bactra Stephens, 1834. |
