| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Dodonidia was published as a new name twice in 1884 : first, in March in the serial cited above ; second, in July (New Zealand J. Sci. 2 (4) : 159). Butler, in designating the type-species of this genus, specified the taxon concerned as helmsii Fereday, without mentioning a generic name. This arose from the peculiar circumstance that this name was actually published by Fereday without a generic name. The specific name helmsii was published in 1883 (Trans. N.Z. Inst. 15 : 193) under the formula "Genus (?) helmsii", Fereday explaining (: 195) that he did not venture to assign this species to any known genus. As published in this way, the name helmsii is invalid under Article II (g) (ii), which requires that a species-group name must be published in combination with a genus-group name. The first occasion on which the name helmsii was validly published in combination with a generic name was when it was so published by Butler in March 1884 in the Annals. Butler must therefore be treated as the author of this name which has to be dated from 1884. Butler did not give a re-description of helmsii but, in addition to providing a figure, he expressly incorporated by reference what had been written about this species by Fereday. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
