| Memo: | Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- Butler, 1877, showed that Walker's diagnosis of Carama was based on specimens that he had misidentified as Arcturus sparshalli Curtis; Butler then established a new nominal species Carama walkeri Butler, 1887, for the misidentified specimens and one from Mexico. See Frontispiece, fig.2, Carama walkeri Butler, male. The true Arcturus sparshalli Curtis, 1830, is the type-species of Trichiocercus Stephens, 1835, in the Thaumetopoeidae. Under Article 70(a) of the Code the case of a misidentified type-species should be referred to the Commission. Carama was established in the Liparidae, now Lymantriidae; it was transferred to the Megalopygidae by Berg, 1882, An. Soc. cient. argent. 13: 264, 275. |
