| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- So far as the butterflies are concerned, this is no more than a ghost-name. What happened was that in the paper in the Annals referred to above Swinhoe described a Pyralid moth under the name Dracaenura arfakalis (: 158). Of the names included in this combination only the specific name arfakalis was new, the generic name Dracaenura being a name published by Meyrick in 1886 (Trans. ent. Soc. Lond. 1886 : 227). This generic name became a ghost-name in the family Nymphalidae through the above name being listed as belonging to the foregoing family - as a result of a confusion of the recording slips - when Swinhoe's new species arfakalis was noted in the Zoological Record (54 (year 1917) (Ins.) : 143). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
