| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Papilio idas Cramer is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. Up to the year 1954 this name was a junior homonym of the name Papilio idas Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 488), but in that year the latter name was suppressed by the Commission under its Plenary Powers by the ruling given in its Opinion 269 (1954, Opin. int. Comm. 6 : 1-24), the purpose of this action being to validate the slightly later nominal species Papilio idas Linnaeus, 1761 (Faun. svec. (ed. 2) : 284). It is therefore this last name which now invalidates the name Papilio idas Cramer, [1779], under the Law of Homonymy. The name Papilio idas Cramer has not been objectively replaced by any later name, because the taxon which it represents is subjectively treated currently on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the later-established nominal species Papilio mercurius Fabricius, 1787 (Mantissa Ins. 2 : 86). It is by this name that the present taxon is generally known The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
