| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Hübner took as the holotype of his new nominal species Pieris dracontis the specimen which in 1780 Cramer had misidentified as Papilio lena Linnaeus, 1767 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 784) and had figured under that name (Uitl. Kapellen 4 (25) : 5, pl. 291, figs A, B). At the time of the publication of the Verz., the species in question was without a name properly applicable to it, and the name dracontis Hübner is therefore its valid taxonomic name. This is another of the considerable number of cases in which Hübner appropriated to a name (in this case Pieris Schrank) previously published by another author in an entirely different sense. The name Pieris Hübner is invalid, as being a junior homonym of Pieris Schrank, 1801. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
