| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Damis Boisduval has been variously treated by later authors either as an Unjustified Emendation of, or as an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of, the name Danis Fabricius, 1807. It is certainly neither of these things, for Boisduval quite definitely attributed it to himself as a new name. The first of the nominal species placed in this genus by Boisduval was his new nominal species Damis sebae Boisduval, [1832] (loc. cit. : 68). In the synonymy given for that species Boisduval cited the name of the nominal species Papilio danis Cramer, [1775]. Under Article 69 (a) (i) a nominal species, the name of which is cited in the synonymy of the name of a nominal species treated as belonging to a new genus itself ranks as one of the originally included species of that genus. Accordingly, the nominal species Papilio danis Cramer ranks as one of the originally included species of the genus Damis Boisduval and, as shown above has been selected by myself (1964 : 132) as its type-species. The interpretation of the nominal species Papilio danis Cramer was placed on a firm footing when in 1964 (Annot. lep. (4) : 132) the specimen figured by Cramer under that name as figure E on plate 70 in volume 1 of the Uitl. Kapellen was selected to represent the lectotype of this species. Since, as shown above, Papilio danis Cramer was identified by Boisduval with his new species Damis sebae, the material on which Cramer's Papilio danis was based forms part of the series of syntypes of Damis sebae Boisduval. Accordingly, when I selected a lectotype for Papilio danis Cramer, I selected (loc. cit. : 132) the same specimen to represent also the lectotype of Damis sebae Boisduval. By this action the name Damis sebae Boisduval became a junior objective synonym of Papilio danis Cramer. The name Damis Boisduval is invalid, as being a junior objective synonym of Danis Fabricius, 1807, Papilio danis Cramer being the type-species of each of these genera. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). | |
