| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Deudorix petosiris Hewitson is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being a subspecies of that represented by another nominal species established on the same date and in the same work, namely Deudorix petosiris [sic, see below] Hewitson, [1863] (Ill. diurn. Lep., Lycaenidae 1 (text) : 21 ; 2 (plates) : pl. 9, figs 28, 29 - male, 27 - female). Since these names were published simultaneously, the question as to which is to be accorded precedence over the other depends on the choice of the First Reviser. In the present case the First Reviser appears to have been Evans, when in 1927 (Ident. ind. Butts (ed. 1) : 192) he treated the above nominal species as representing subspecies of a single species and adopted the name pheretima Hewitson as the name to be used for the species as a whole, employing the name petosiris Hewitson as the name for the taxon which he treated as being a subspecies of pheretima. Under this choice the name pheretima takes precedence over the name petosiris. In introducing the name Vadebra for the present Lycaenid genus, Moore overlooked the fact only a year earlier he had employed the same word as a new name for a Danaid genus, the particulars relating to which have been given immediately above. The name Vadebra Moore, as applied to the present Lycaenid genus, is therefore invalid as a junior homonym of the name Vadebra Moore, as applied to the Danaid genus. Hemming seems to have made a small mistake here: the second mention of 'petosiris' above should actually be 'pheretima' Hewitson, which was actually published on p. 21, with figs on pl. ix as stated.Later in the text Hemming uses 'pheretima'. (pers. comm. Guy Van de Poel). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
