| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The history of the name Parapontia Röber is bound up with that of the earlier names Liptena - Westwood and Pentila Westwood, both published in the year 1851. Both these nominal genera were treated from the earliest times as having as their type-species species other than those which were in fact their type-species under the Code. Full particulars of subsequent developments have been given in the note on the name Liptena Westwood ; it is therefore necessary to note here that, when providing a valid basis for the long-established use of that name the Commission in its Opinion 566 used its Plenary Powers to designate the nominal species Liptena undularis Hewitson to be the type-species of the foregoing genus. One of the side-effects of that decision was to invalidate the little-known and virtually unused name Parapontia Röber by making it a junior objective synonym of Liptena Westwood, as then stabilized. As part of the general settlement carried out in the above Opinion, the name Parapontia Röber was then placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 1280. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
