| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- [as defined by the specimen figured incorrectly under the name Papilio anchises Linnaeus, 1758, by Stoll in 1780 as fig. A on pl. 318 of Cramer's Uitl. Kapellen, the specimen so figured having been selected by Hemming (1964, (Annot. Rep (3) : 107) to represent the lectotype of this nominal species]. An attempt was made by Scudder in 1875 (Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 256) to select a type-species for this genus, but this attempt was unsuccessful. In selecting type-species for genera in the paper cited above he cited the species selected under the name used for it by Kirby in 1871 in his Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep., adding in brackets - parentheses - the species actually placed in the genus by the author of the generic name. This method of selecting a type-species, though undesirable, would have raised no difficulty had only one of the species originally included in the genus been synonymized by Kirby with some other nominal species and this latter species had later been selected as the type-species ; such a course has indeed been expressly made permissible under Article 69 (a)(iv) of the present revised Code. It is quite otherwise had the names of two or more of the originally included species been synonymized by Kirby under some other name and it was that other name and not one of the originally included species which a later author attempted to select as the name of the type-species. This is exactly what happened in the present case : Kirby (: 538) united two of Hübner's originally included species (Priamides hipponous Hübner ; Princeps capys Hübner) under the name Papilio pompeius Fabricius and it was this Fabrician species which Scudder declared was the type-species. This type-selection was invalid, for Scudder did not select one, and not more than one, nominal species placed in the genus Priamides to be the type-species of that genus. The genus remained without a validly selected type-species until in 1935 I selected Priamides hipponous Hübner to be the type-species. The nominal species Priamides hipponous, like all other nominal species established by Hübner in the Verzeichniss, was based entirely upon bibliographical references. The first of these was a reference to figs A-D on plate 318 in volume 4 of Stoll's continuation of Cramer's Uitl. Kapellen. The specimen figured as fig. A on the above plate has been selected by myself (1964, Annot. lep. (3) : 107) as to represent the lectotype of the nominal species Priamides hipponous Hübner. The specimens figured on the plate referred to above were misidentified by Stoll as Papilio anchises Linnaeus, 1758. This mistake was noted by Esper in 1788 (Die ausländ. Schmett. (4) : 53, pl. 13, figs 1, 2), when that author established a new nominal species to which he gave the name Papilio anchisiades, basing that nominal species partly upon a description and figures and partly upon two bibliographical references, of which the first was to the figures on Stoll's plate 318 referred to above. From these syntypes I have selected (1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 107)) the specimen figured as fig. 1 on Stoll's plate 318 to represent the lectotype of Papilio anchisiades Esper. By this second lectotype-selection the nominal species Priamides hipponous Hübner and Papilio anchisiades Esper became objectively identical with one another. The name Papilio anchisiades Esper, having priority over Priamides hipponous Hübner, became in this way the oldest available name objectively applicable to the species in question. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
