| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Some authors have erroneously treated this generic name as having been first published by Westwood in the text of the above work ((2) : 367) where that author placed in Coelites two nominal species (Coelites nothis and another). In fact, however, the text was not published until April 1851, whereas plate 66 was published in December 1850. No practical inconvenience has however arisen from this mistake, because Butler, the first author to select a type-species for this genus on the basis of the name having been published first in the text, so selected (1868, Ent. mon. Mag. 4 : 195) Coelites nothis which, as explained above, had in fact been the type-species by monotypy ever since the first appearance in December 1850 of the name Coelites on the legend to plate 66. Cowan (1970: 44) stated:- Coelitis nothis to read (bold) - Coelites nothis. Coelites Westwood & Hewitson, 1850 was treated in the new tribe Eritini and new subfamily Eritinae (Nymphalidae) by Miller, 1968, Mem. Am. ent. Soc. No. 24 : 64. Eritinae is not adopted here. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
