| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- This nominal genus is based exclusively upon the figures published in [1807] (Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : pl. [32]) under the name Limnas pharea. As Hübner's figures show, this was not a newly-established nominal species of Hübner's but was the species to which in 1777 Cramer had given the name Papilio phareus. The present is one of a number of generic names published anonymously by Illiger in 1807 shortly before being published by Fabricius for entirely different species. Papilio phareus, the type-species of the present genus, is the type-species also of the well-known genus Mesene Doubleday, 1847. If it had been necessary to apply the ordinary rules in the present case, it would have been necessary to sink the name Mesene Doubleday as a junior objective synonym of Emesis [Illiger], while - and this would have been far more important - the extremely well-known Emesis Fabricius would have had to be abandoned as a junior homonym of Emesis [Illiger]. It was considered that these changes would give rise to an insupportable state of confusion. It was decided therefore that an approach should be made to the Commission with a request for the grant of relief under the Plenary Powers. It was decided that the Commission should be asked to deal simultaneously with all the names published anonymously by Illiger in 1807 that are senior homonyms of well-known names published by Fabricius in the same year. Among these names were Apatura [Illiger] and Brassolis [Illiger], both of which have already been discussed in detail. It is not necessary therefore to pursue in detail the subsequent history of the name Emesis [Illiger]. The decision of the Commission in regard to these names was promulgated in Opinion 232 published in 1954 (Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 4 : 249-274). By the ruling given in this Opinion the name Emesis [Illiger], with the other names concerned, was suppressed under the Plenary Powers for the purposes both of the Law of Priority and of those of the Law of Homonymy. In the same Opinion the name Emesis [Illiger], 1807, was placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 40. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
