| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- As shown in the immediately preceding note, the name Arrhenes acquired no status of availability through being published by Mabille in 1904 in the synonymy of Ocybadistes Heron. Accordingly, Mabille's action on that occasion did not invalidate any later use of this generic name, provided that that use complied in other respects with the requirements of the Code, that is, provided that the author using this name (a) gave a generic diagnosis and (b) designated a type-species. Since a period of nearly sixty years elapsed between Mabille's use in synonymy of the name Arrhenes and the publication of the revised Code containing the provision under which it was ruled that names so published have no status of availability, it was to be expected therefore that the first nomenclatorially valid use of the name Arrhenes would be when some author, while attributing this name to Mabille, 1904, provided a diagnosis for the genus and designated a type-species for that genus. The first author to do this was vans in 1934. The name Arrhenes is accordingly attributable to Evans and ranks from 1934. The difficulty in this case arose primarily from the fact that Mabille misinterpreted Ocybadistes and placed in that genus species not currently regarded as belonging to it, and was for the reception of these species that authors initially brought into use the name Arrhenes Mabille, instead of leaving it, as they would otherwise have done, in the synonymy of Ocybadistes. Cowan (1970: 24) stated:- "(The code 1961) - Article 11 (d), Names published in synonymy - A good example of the "before and after" 1963 situation can be seen in the treatment by Hemming of the two names Arrhenes Mabille, 1904 and Arrhenes Evans, 1934. Under the 1961 Code followed by Hemming the latter only was available; under the 1964 edition the former is." The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
