| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Kirby stated that he was erecting this genus for Thyridia as used by "Doubl. (nec. Hübn.)" on page 117 in the Gen. diurn. Lep., and placed three species in this genus. Of these only one, namely Thyridia aedesia Doubleday, was included in the above work on the page cited by Kirby, and that species is therefore the type-species of Aprotopus by monotypy. Further it was expressly selected as such by Kirby himself in the following year ([1872], in Zool. Rec. 8 (year 1871) : 359). Details as to the circumstances in which the spelling Aprotopus became the Correct Original Spelling of this generic name have been given in the note on the spelling Aprotopos. The name Aprotopus Kirby is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of the older name Xanthocleis Boisduval, 1870, the two genera having the same nominal species as type-species. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
