| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Euploea ochsenheimeri Moore is invalid as it is a junior primary homonym of the name Euploea ochsenheimeri Lucas, 1853 (Rev. Mag. Zool. (2) 5 : 315). The species which is the type-species of the present genus was without a species-group name which was both a nomenclatorially available name and also a name objectively applicable to it until in 1910 Fruhstorfer published the name hypanis as a replacement for the invalid name ochsenheimeri Moore. Fruhstorfer considered on taxonomic grounds that this taxon should be treated as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Crastia malayica Butler, 1878 (J. linn. Soc. Lond., Zool. 14 : 297) ; this led him to adopt the inconvenient course of publishing as a subspecific name his replacement (hypanis) of the name ochsenheimeri Moore, a name published by its original author (Moore) as a specific name. The name so published appeared as Euploea malayica hypanis Fruhstorfer, [1910] (in Seitz, Grossschmett. Erde 9 : 231). [The taxon discussed above is still currently treated in the manner suggested by Fruhstorfer, that is, it is still treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Crastia malayica Butler, 1878]. The name Adigama is one of twelve nominal genera, all of which were published by Moore in the same paper and on the same date, all of which are currently regarded on taxonomic grounds as subjective synonyms of one another. The relative precedence of such names inter se depends on the choice made by the First Reviser. In this case the First Reviser appears to have been Bryk who in 1937 (in Bryk's Lep. Cat. 78 : 209-210) adopted the name Adigama Moore, sinking the other names concerned as junior subjective synonyms. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
