| Memo: | Watson, Fletcher & Nye (1980) stated:- Invalid type-species designation: Bombyx reclusa [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gén. Lépid.) 1:142. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and designated as many as three different type-species for each generic name. In his `Exposé de notre méthode', pages 155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of the genera that he himself used. Under the Code, Article 69(a)(iii), the type-species designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type `... and if it is clear that he himself accepts as the type-species'. Boisduval's type-designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are invalid. Even though Boisduval's 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not been accepted, either by Hemming or by other authors. The acceptance of Boisduval's designation in the case of Clostera would make no difference to the generic concept. CLOSTERA was included within the subfamily NOTODONTIDAE: PYGAERINAE by Kitching & Rawlins, in Kristensen (1999). Kitching & Rawlins, in Kristensen (1999) included MELALOPHA Hübner and ICHTHYURA Hübner, 1819 as junior synonyms of CLOSTERA Samouelle, 1819. |
