| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name of the type-species of this genus was dealt with by Pagenstecher in a very unsatisfactory way. On page 35 Pagenstecher dealt with a taxon to which he applied the name Schoenbergia schoenbergi, supplying for this taxon also the alternative name Schoenbergia paradises, attributing both these names to himself. On page 39 Pagenstecher stated that the taxon referred to above was the same as that for which Staudinger had published the name Ornithoptera paradisea (June 1893, Ent. Nachr. 193 : 178). He went on to say that Staudinger had never seen a specimen of this species at the time when he published the above name as his own in the Ent. Nachr., the description there given having been based only a description and figure which he (Pagenstecher) had sent to him in common with certain other entomologists announcing the forthcoming publication of the description of this interesting novelty. It is quite clear therefore that, although Staudinger was the first to publish the specific name paradisea, it was Pagenstecher by whom it was first proposed in manuscript. That Staudinger anticipated Pagenstecher in the publication of this name must presumably be attributed to some misunderstanding between these entomologists in the correspondence which immediately preceded its publication by Staudinger. Schoenbergia Pagenstecher, 1893 is a valid subgenus of Ornithoptera Pagenstecher, 1893, being revalidated by Haugum & Low, 1979, A monograph of the birdwing butterflies. Vol. 1, part 3 Ornithoptera (Schoenbergia), p.193. Schoenbergia Pagenstecher, 1893, is a valid subgenus of Ornithoptera, revalidated by Haugum & Low, 1979, A monograph of the birdwing butterflies. Vol. 1, part 3 Ornithoptera (Schoenbergia), p.193. As Pagenstecher cited two specific names (paradisea Pagenstecher and schoenbergi Pagenstecher) for the foregoing species when establishing the nominal genus Schoenbergia, it is necessary to consider which of the alternative specific names so published should be treated for nomenclatorial purposes as the specific name of the type-species of this genus. In view of the way in which Pagenstecher dealt with this matter in the discussion which he gave, it is considered that the most logical course is to give preference to the specific name schoenbergi Pagenstecher over the name paradisea Pagenstecher ; for the name schoenbergi seems to have been introduced as a replacement for the manuscript name paradisea Pagenstecher which he regarded as having been misappropriated by Staudinger. The name Schoenbergia schoenbergi Pagenstacher is, as will be seen from the particulars given above, a junior synonym of the name Ornithoptera paradisea Staudinger, that name having been published in June 1893, the name schoenbergi Pagenstecher having been published in the same year on some later date, which is not precisely known. Since, as has been shown, Ornithoptera paradisea Staudinger was based not upon a specimen but upon a figure and description of the then manuscript species to which Pagenstecher at that time proposed to give the specific name paradisea, Pagenstecher's specimen must be the type specimen of Staudinger's paradisea. The name Schoenbergia schoenbergi Pagenstecher (the specific name schoenbergi being a replacement of the then-unpublished specific name paradisea Pagenstecher) is thus a junior objective synonym of Ornithoptera paradisea (Pagenstecher MS.) Staudinger. Cowan (1970: 55) stated:- "193 to read - 19 (12)". Cowan (1970: 55) stated:- "2 : " : 35" to read - 29-35, pls. 2, 3", [type-species page]. Cowan (1970: 55) stated:- SCHOENBERGIA As Hemming shows, the valid name for the type-species is Schoenbergia paradisea (Staudinger). It is clear that Pagenstecher circulated his proposed ms. name schoenbergi (and not paradisea), but Staudinger, doubtless thinking that such an insect merited a more exalted name, forestalled him by publishing paradisea. Not to be thwarted Pagenstecher then proposed the generic name Schoenbergia. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
