| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Butler established this genus in a very unsatisfactory way, for he designated as its type-species a nominal species which he called Sphaenogona ectriva for which no description had been published, the name in question being nothing but a nomen nudum. The curious thing is that Butler was fully aware of the fact that the above name had never been published with a description, for a year later (1871, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1871 : 527) he stated that the type-species was an undescribed species. The name Sphaenogona ectriva was not validly published with a description until it was so published by Butler in 1873 (Cistula ent. 1 : 175). Since there existed no duly established nominal species bearing the name Sphaeonogona ectriva at the time when Butler established the nominal genus Sphaenogona, Butler's type-selection is invalid, for a manuscript species bearing a nomen nudum is not eligible to become the type-species of a genus. The only other nominal species placed in Sphaenogona by Butler in 1870 was Terias bogotana Felder (C.) & Felder (R.) 1861, and, as this had been duly provided with a description by its authors, it was eligible to become the type-species and did in fact become the type-species by monotypy. The taxon represented by the nominal species Terias bogotana Felder (C.) & Felder (R.) is currently treated subjectively as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Terias mexicana Boisduval, [1836] (Roret's Suite à Buffon), Hist. nat. Ins., Spec. gén. Lépid. 1 : 665, pl. 19 [= 3C], fig. 1. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
