| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- In the note on the name Catonephele Hübner, [1819] particulars have been given regarding certain lectotype-selections made by myself in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 96) which have a direct bearing not only upon the status of the name Catonephele but also upon that of the present genus. The action then taken included the selection of the specimen shown on fig. 3 of plate 68 of Daubenton's "Planches enluminées d'Histoire Naturelle" to represent the lectotype (a) of Papilio antiochus Fabricius, 1775, and (b) of Papilio acontius Linnaeus, 1771 (Mantissa Plant. : 537) this action being rendered possible by the fact that fig. 3 (together with fig. 4) on Daubenton's plate 68 was cited in the synonymy given at the time of the original publication of each of the above names. Under the foregoing lectotype-selections the name Papilio antiochus Fabricius becomes a junior objective synonym of the name Papilio acontius Linnaeus. Quite apart from this, the name Papilio antiochus Fabricius was already invalid under the Law of Homonymy by being a junior homonym of the name Papilio antiochus Linnaeus, 1767 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 1068). Under another of the lectotype-selections made in the paper referred to above (: 97) the lectotype of Papilio antiochus Fabricius, one of the nominal species on which Hübner based the nominal species Catonephele eupalemaena ([1919], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (3) : 40), was selected to represent the lectotype of that nominal species also. As the result of this lectotype- selection the nominal species Catonephele eupalemaena Hübner became an objective synonym both of Papilio antiochus Fabricius and of Papilio acontius Linnaeus. Since Catonephele eupaleana Hübner is the type-species of Catonephele Hübner, [1819], while the objectively identical nominal species Papilio antiochus fabricius is, as shown above, the type-species of Epicalia Doubleday, 1844, it follows that the name Epicalia Doubleday is invalid, as a junior objective synonym of Catonephele Hübner, each of these genera having as its type-species a nominal species having the same specimen as its lectotype. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
