| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- In the same year as that in which Watson published the name Pteroxys for the present Hesperiid genus, Hampson established a new nominal genus of Psychid moths under the same name (Pteroxys Hampson, 1893 (Ill. typ. Spec. Lep.-Het. Brit. Mus. 9 : 68)). Fortunately, there is precise information as to the exact date of publication of each of these names : (a) The part of the volume for 1893 of the Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. containing the name Pteroxys Watson was - as I have been kindly informed by Mr. F. Martin Duncan - published on 1st June 1893 ; (b) As regards the name Pteroxys Hampson, there is a note by Hampson in his copy in the British Museum of the volume in which it was published, stating that publication took place on 25th February 1893. Thus, the name Pteroxys Hampson has about three months' priority over the name Pteroxys Watson, which is therefore invalid under the Law of Homonymy. It has been replaced by the name Orthophoetus Watson, 1895. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
