Memo: Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- Invalid type-species designation: Sphinx statices Linnaeus was cited by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid.) 1: 134. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and designated as many as three 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 that he himself used. Under the Code, Article 69(a)(iii), the type-species designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type '... and if it is clear that he himself accepts it as the type-species'. Boisduval's type-designation, 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-designations contained in it have not been accepted, either by Hemming or by other authors.
