| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- When establishing the genus Epargyreus, Hübner did not recognize Papilio tityrus Fabricius as the name of a taxonomically good species, but he did cite that name in the synonymy of one of the species (Papilio clarus Cramer, [1775]) which he did so recognize. Accordingly, under the revised Code (Article 69 (a) (i)) Papilio tityrus ranks as one of the originally included species of the genus Epargyreus, and Scudder's selection of that species in 1872 to be the type-species was perfectly valid. The name Papilio tityrus Fabricius is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the older name Papilio tityrus Poda, 1761 (Ins. Mus. graec. : 77). The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio tityrus Fabricius is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as the same as that represented by the nominal species Papilio clarus Cramer, [1775] (Uitl. Kapellen 1 (4) : 66, pl. 41, figs E, F). Under the Commission's Opinion 516 (1958, Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 19 : 1-44) names published by Fabricius in 1775 take precedence, other things being equal, over names published by Cramer in the same year. In the present case however the specific name tityrus Fabricius is, as already explained, invalid under the Law of Homonymy ; accordingly, as the oldest available specific name, clarus Cramer is (subjectively) the valid name for the present species. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America where it is treated in the subfamily Eudaminae. |
