| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- [Papilio danis Cramer, [1775] is] a nominal species, of which, by selection by Hemming (1964, Annot. lep. (3) : 105), the specimen figured by Cramer as fig. E on the plate cited above represents the lectotype, the same figure representing also the lectotype of the nominal species Damis sebae Boisduval, [1832], cited as belonging to this genus by Westwood (1852) on the occasion when nominal species were first placed in the present genus. Danis is a genus established without cited nominal species. The first author to cite such a species was Westwood in 1852 (in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 497). He then cited three such species, the first being Damis sebae Boisduval, [1832] (in d'Urville, Voy. "astsolabe", Faun. ent. 1 (Lép.) : 67). When establishing this nominal species, Boisduval cited in synonymy the nominal species Papilio danis Cramer, the type-material of which therefore forms part of the syntypes of Boisduval's Damis sebae. Two lectotype-selections have been made in this case. First, the specimen figured by Cramer as figure E on plate 70 in volume 1 of the Uitl. Kapellen and named Papilio danis on page III of the same volume was selected by myself in 1964 to represent the lectotype of the nominal species Papilio danis Cramer. Second, the same figure was selected in the same paper to represent the lectotype of Damis sebae Boisduval, which thereby became objectively identical with Papilio danis Cramer, these two nominal species each having the same specimen as lectotype. Through the action described above the nominal species Papilio danis Cramer is the type-species of the genus Danis Fabricius by subsequent tautonymy. For many years the name Danis Fabricius was not used, this being due in part, no doubt, to the fact that for long there existed no rules for determining what species should be regarded as being eligible for designation as the type-species of a genus established without citation of nominal species and partly also to a reluctance, on the part of those who believed that Fabricius had in mind the species Papilio danis Cramer when he established this genus, to accept tautonymy between generic and specific names. In consequence the name Thysonotis Hübner, [1819] was used by various authors for Papilio danis Cramer, it being the type-species of that genus, but in more recent times the name Danis Fabricius has come into use, though not completely replacing its junior objective synonym Thysonotis. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
