| Memo: | Fletcher (1979) stated:- Invalid type-species designation: Phalaena dubitata Linnaeus, 1758, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid.) 1: 147. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and designated as many as four different type-species for each generic name. In his `Exposé de notre méthode', pages 155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of the genera he himself used. Under Article 69(a)(iii) of the Code, the type-designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type `... and it is clear that he himself accepts it as the type-species'. Boisduval's type-designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are invalid. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists, the type-species designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are invalid. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists, the type-species designations contained in it have been accepted, either by Hemming or by other authors. The acceptance of Boisduval's type-species designation in this case would make no difference to the generic concept. Triphosa was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 139; and 1831, Illust. Br. Ent. (Haustellata) 3: 261. Parsons et al. (1999) included SPELUNCARIS Bruand, 1847; STREPSIZUGA Warren, 1908; and UMBROSINA Bruand, 1847 as junior synonyms of TRIPHOSA Stephens, 1829. Parsons et al. (1999) included 50 species and 10 subspecies (inc. nominates) in the genus TRIPHOSA. According to Fauna Europeae TRIPHOSA belongs in the tribe Rheumapterini. |
