| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Cleosiris was published by Boisduval on the legend to a plate on which all the other species figured were butterflies. It was presumably for this reason that this generic name came to be listed as the name of a butterfly. It was mentioned in 1875 (Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 143) by Scudder who quite correctly stated that the single species figured by Boisduval was not a butterfly. It is in fact a moth which, as shown above, had already been named and figured by Geyer in his conuation of Hübner's Zuträge at the time when Boisduval's plate appeared. (It may be noted that the name Cleosiris Boisduval is invalid, being a junior objective synonym of Tetragonus Geyer.) Cowan (1970: 16) stated:- The title of Boisduval's "1836" [cf. title-page] (in Roret, Suite àBuffon, Hist, nat. Ins.) Spec. gén. Lépid. 1 has become garbled into "Consid. gén. Lépid 1", or a variant, in a large block of entries between Calais (: 85) and Gamana (: 195). The date is wrongly given as [1836] throughout. Fletcher (1979) stated:- A junior objective synonym of Tetragonus Geyer, 1832. |
