| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The first point to be noted is that Moore published Calysisme as a new name twice in the year 1880. On one of these occasions this name appeared in volume 1 of the Lep. Ceylon, on the other in the Trans. ent. Soc. Lond. The relevant Part of the Lep. Ceylon is known to have appeared on 14th December 1880, while that of the Trans. was also published in December on some unknown date. In these circumstances the name Calysisme of the Lep. Ceylon takes precedence over the Calysisme of the Trans., which ranks for priority only as from 31st December 1880, the earliest date on which it is definitely known to have been published. By way of confirmation that these two publications were published in the foregoing order, it may be noted that when in 1891 (loc. cit. : 172) Moore selected a type-species for this genus, he cited both the Lep. Ceylon and the Trans., giving precedence to the former. Moore cited and figured four nominal species in the Lep. Ceylon (1880) as belonging to the genus Calysisme, the first of these being Papilio drusia Cramer, the last Papilio mineus. He subsequently in 1891 (Lep. Ind. 1 : 183) synonymized Papilio drusia Cramer with the earlier Linnaean species Papilio mineus, and referred to Papilio polydecga Cramer [1777) the insect which in 1880 (Lep. Ceylon) he had called Papilio drusia Cramer. It may be considered that this is a case of a genus being based on a misidentified type-species, but Moore made his selection in the words "Type.; C. drusia (mineus)", thus uniting as a single taxon two nominal species previously regarded by him as distinct, and both originally included nominal species. There does not therefore appear to be any ground for advancing the view that, as introduced in the Lep. Ceylon, the genus Calysisme Moore was based on a misidentified type-species. Cowan (1970: 19) stated:- "In dealing with CALYSISME and NISSANGA, Hemming dates Moore's Lep. Ceylon 1 (Rhop.) part (1) as [14 Dec. 1880], while ABARATHA, AMPITTIA and GANGARA in part (4) are made [1882]. Those were the dates of receipt at the British Museum (see Griffin, 1934, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (10) 13 : 555). But the actual publication dates have since been ascertained (Griffin, 1939, J. Soc. Biblphy. nat. Hist. 1 (7) : 206). Part (1) was published in August 1880, the other three parts appearing in January, June and December 1881." Cowan (1970: 43) stated:- Moore's two introductions of this name as "new", in August and December 1880 were presumably made because, with two works in press, he could not know which would be first. Hemming made them separate entries probably simply through doubt as to which was first, and he overlooked the valid type-designation. Moore's treatment in Lep. Ceylon (for date see List B. Moore [August, 1880]) was purely for the local forms, but his Transactions paper covered mycalesis throughout Asia, splitting it into 25 genera (23 being new). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
