| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Hübner placed two nominal species in this genus, and of these Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 121) selected the first to be the type-species. It has long been agreed by all authorities that the name similis Linnaeus applied by Hübner to this taxon was based upon a misidentification of the Linnaean species which is a Danaid, whereas the species which, as the reference which he gave to Cramer's plate 9 clearly showed, Hübner intended to denote was a Papilionid species having a somewhat Danaid-like pattern. It follows that the genus Arisbe Hübner is, through the type-selection made by Scudder, a genus based upon a misidentified type-species. The details of this case are set out briefly below. The genus Arisbe was placed by Hübner among the Papilionids ; the entry which he made for the species selected as the type-species by Scudder was as follows : "933. Arisbe similis Linn. Syst. Pap. 193. Cram. 9. B.C." The full reference for "similis Linn." is : Papilio similis Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 479, no. 128 (the no. "193" cited by Hübner being the species no. allotted to this species by Linnaeus in 1767 in the 12th edition of the Syst. Nat.)). This species is a Danaid and is the type-species (by original designation) of the genus Radena Moore, [1880]. The full reference to the Cramer plate cited by Hübner is : Papilio similis [attributed to Linnaeus] Cramer, [1775] (Uitl. Kapellen 1 (1) : 14, pl. 9, figs B. C). The African Papilionid so figured by Cramer was at that time without a name of its own, and it remained without a name until it was given the name Papilio leonidas by Fabricius in 1793 (Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 35). The figure given by Cramer represents one of the syntypes. Hübner's misidentification of Papilio leonidas as Papilio similis Linnaeus was noted by Kirby in 1871 (Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep. : 520) and the same view was taken by Aurivillius (1898, K. svenska VetenskAkad. Hands., Stockholm 31 (No. 5) : 487) and later authors. From the foregoing particulars it will be seen (a) that the genus Arisbe Hübner is based on a misidentified type-species, (b) that the species (Papilio similis Linnaeus) actually cited by Hübner is a Danaid, (c) that the species which Hübner misidentified with this Linnaean species is the Papilionid later named Papilio leonidas Fabricius, (d) that the acceptance of the true Papilio similis Linnaeus as the type-species of Arisbe Hübner would involve two confusing consequences : first, the generic name Arisbe would have to be transferred from the family Papilionidae (the position intended by Hübner and accepted by all subsequent workers) to the family Danaidae to which this genus has never been assigned ; second, the name Arisbe Hübner, having the same type-species as that of the Danaid genus Radena Moore, would actually replace that well-established generic name. In these circumstances the present appeared to me to be clearly a case where the Commission should be asked to use its Plenary Powers to designate Papilio leonidas Fabricius to be the type-species of the present genus, and an application in this sense has been submitted to the Commission under Article 70 (a)). In accordance with the provisions of Article 80, Papilio leonidas Fabricius, as the species customarily treated as the type-species of the genus Arisbe Hübner, is so treated here, pending a decision by the Commission on the application referred to above. Cowan (1968) made the following comment for this and other genera Opinions published in September and December 1967 in Bull. zool. Nomencl. 24, parts (4) and (5) CONFIRMED the forecasts given in the List [Hemming, 1967] for the following genera; Adopaeoides Godman; Op. 825 Arisbe Hübner; Op. 823 Artines Godman; Op. 826 Gegenes Hübner; Op. 827 Halpe Moore; Op. 828 Iaspis Kaye; Op. 821 Napaea Hübner; Op. 820 Papias Godman; Op. 829 Phanes Godman; Op. 830 Phrissura Butler; Op. 824 Telicota Moore; Op. 831 Ypthima Hübner; Op. 819 Zenis Godman; Op. 832 Cowan (1970: 15) stated:- "AURIVILLIUS 1898" [1899]. K. svenska VetenskSkad. Handl. 31, No. 5. The "Rhopalocera aethiopica", as noted in Annot. Rhop. 1968, was not published before the end of April 1899. The title-page recorded it as submitted in June 1898. The bibliographic Nachtrag was clearly completed after then; the latter portion (: 537) citing several references to 1899. The Index closes with the date "end of April 1899". Publication was as a complete work, not in parts. [&] "1898 to read [1899]", [genus year]. Papilio leonidas Fabricius, 1793 was designated as the type-species for Arisbe Hübner, [1819] using the plenary powers of the Commission. Papilio leonidas was placed on the Official List of Specific Names in Zoology and Arisbe was placed on the Generic Names in Zoology, (Opinion 823), The Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature, 24 (4) : 218. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
