| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio valens is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as the same as that represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio formosus Cramer, [1777] (Uitl. Kapellen 2 (10) : 33, pl. 118, fig. G), the type-species of Anteros Hübner, [1819]. The purpose of this type-selection was to dispose of the long-forgotten name Chrysilis Westwood by sinking it as a junior subjective synonym of Anteros Hübner. The name Chrysilis was published by Westwood as a manuscript name of Boisduval's and was placed by him in the synonym of Anteros Hübner. At the time when the above type-selection was made for the present genus, the status of generic names published in synonymies was obscure, there being no provision in the Code dealing with this subject. Under the revised Code, however, it is provided - in Article II (d) - that a name published in a synonymy does not acquire the status of availability thereby. Accordingly, the name Chrysilis (Boisduval MS.), Westwood, [1851], is an objectively invalid name. Cowan (1970: 26) stated:- "CHRYSILIS" Westwood, [1851] : 427. Not available. Introduced as "Boisd." in the synonymy of Anteros Hübner, given seven included species. Never raised from synonymy. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
