| Memo: | Nye & Fletcher (1991) stated:- The type-species was included by Meyrick, as "Cossus labyrinthicus, Don. Ins. N. Holl.; C. argenteus, ib., HS. Lep. Exot. I. [figs] 47, 48; Pielus labyrinthicus, Walk. Bomb. 1578; P. atripalpis, ib. 1577; P. hydrographus, Feld. pl.lxxx. 3". Tindale, 1932, Rec. S. Aust. Mus. 4: 500, 510, considered that Meyrick, 1890, had misidentified Cossus labyrinthicus Donovan, 1805, which is the type-species of Pielus Walker, 1856. Tindale additionally considered that Cossus argenteus Donovan sensu Herrich-Schäffer and sensu Meyrick, was also a misidentification, as the true argenteus Donovan was the female of the true labyrinthicus Donovan. Tindale agreed with Meyrick, and placed P. atripalpis Walker in the synonymy of labyrinthicus sensu Meyrick and argenteus sensu Meyrick. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a misidentified type-species is so to be referred to the Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal species will "best serve stability and universality of nomenclature". We suggest the Commission be asked to designate as the type-species of Trictena the nominal species actually involved, namely Pielus atripalpis Walker, 1856. Although Tindale treated argenteus Donovan sensu Herrich-Schäffer, [1853] 1850-1858, Samml. neuer oder wenig bekannter aussereur. Schmett. 1 (1): wrapper, pl.11 figs 47, 48, as a misidentification which could not be used as a valid name, Tindale treated the text of this work "Argentatus Donov. -Exot. f.47, 48" Herrich-Schäffer, [1856] 1850-1858, ibidem 1 (1): 5, as a valid name, i.e., "Trictena argentata (Herrich-Schäffer)." But the usage of * Argentatus by Herrich-Schäffer is clearly an incorrect subsequent spelling of argenteus Donovan and therefore should not be used as a valid name. The next nomenclaturally available name is P. atripalpis Walker, 1856. See also: * Tristena Pagenstecher, 1909. TRICTENA was included within the family HEPIALIDAE by Kristensen (1999). |
