| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Papilio niphe was given by Linnaeus in 1767 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 785) to what is undoubtedly the same taxon, the Latin diagnosis then provided being identical with that given for Papilio hyperbius in 1763, except for two trifling verbal changes (the substitution of the word "albida" for the word "alba" in the second phrase ; the substitution of the words "ocellis quinque" for the words "quinque ocellatis" at the end of the final phrase). There can be no doubt that from Linnaeus's point of view the name Papilio niphe was a replacement name for his Papilio hyperbius ofd 1763 : it may certainly be concluded also that his reason for this action was to preserve the name Papilio hyperbius published by him a year later (1764, Mus. Ludhis reason for this action was to preserve the name Papilio hyperbius published by him a year later (1764, Mus. Lud. Ulr. : 257), while making available a new specific name (niphe) for the present Nymphalid species. Although for all practical purposes the name Papilio niphe Linnaeus 1763, is a replacement name for Papilio hyperbius Linnaeus, 1763, Linnaeus in 1767 made no express statement to this effect. Accordingly, the nominal species bearing these names must be regarded for nomenclatorial purposes as separate units independently established. The relevance of this matter to the present case resides in the fact that, while, as shown above, the present genus (Mimargyra) has Papilio hyperbius Linnaeus, 1763, as its type-species, the elder genus Argyreus Sopoli, 1777, has as its type-species the nominal species Papilio niphe Linnaeus, 1767. Thus, if the foregoing nominal species had been objectively identical with one another the name Mimargyra Reuss would have been invalid as a junior objective synonym of Argyreus Scopoli. On the assumption here adopted (namely that the above nominal species were established as separate units brought into existence independently of one another), the two nominal genera discussed above have different nominal species as their respective type-species, and accordingly the Mimargyra Reuss is an available name. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
