| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Moore introduced the name Ducapa to replace the name Paduca published by himself in November 1886 ; he took this action because he believed that his name Paduca was a junior homonym of the Hesperiid generic name Paduka Distant published in April 1886. Under the current revised Code (Article 56 (a)) a generic name differing in spelling by a single letter from another generic name is not to be treated as a homonym of that name. Accordingly, the names Paduka Distant and Paduca Moore are not to be treated as homonyms of one another ; there was in consequence no need for Moore to reject the name Paduca and to substitute for it the replacement name Ducapa. For the reasons explained above, the name Ducapa Moore is invalid, as being a junior objective synonym of the nomenclatorially available name Paduca Moore, 1886. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
