| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- When establishing this nominal genus, Moore designated a type-species but did not provide a generic diagnosis. This deficiency was made good by Moore later in the same year ([1898], loc. Cit. 3 (37) : 208). This generic name was formerly considered to be invalid, as being a junior homonym of Sabanea Gray, 1847 (Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 15 (173) : 152), but this view is incorrect under the "one-Letter-Difference" Rule now embodied in Article 56 (a) of the Code. The name Sabania Moore was published on the same date (and in the same work) as the name Parathyma Moore, and in consequence the relative precedence to be accorded to these names depends on the choice of the First Reviser. This was made by myself in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 80), when I accorded precedence to the name Sabania Moore below the name Parathyma Moore. Cowan (1968: 10) states:- Balanga, Conodochates, Kironga, Sabania, Tatisia, Zabana, Zamboanga. Under each of these synchronous genera in turn in his List, except the last, Hemming [1967] quaintly says that, acting as Firsy Reviser in 1964, he "accorded precedence to (that genus) below Parathyma Moore" meaning, of course, that he accorded precedence to Parathyma over it. He does not make the latter statement under Zamboanga. Thus, as Hemming also shows in the lat line of the entry under Parathyma, he has accorded no relative precedence as between these seven genera; all are equal in status next below Parathyma, in the same work as which they were introduced by Moore on the same date in 1898. At first this seems odd, but it was probably a deliberate act by Hemming, although he did not explain it either in 1964 or later. All these seven genera are very close, the difference in some cases perhaps even being only subspecific as between widely separated local races. It is thus considered that Hemming left those genera equal in status so that a future author working on the group will be free to select as he desires. So they are left. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
