Memo: | Fletcher (1979) stated:- Invalid type-species designation: Geometra albulata [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insects (Spec. gén. Lépid.). 1: 147. In the introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and designated as many as four different type-species for each generic name. In his `Exposé de notre méthode', pages 155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of the genera he himself used. Under Article 69(a)(iii) of the Code, the type-designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type`...and it is clear that he himself accepts it as the type-species'. Boisduval's type-designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are invalid. Even though Boidsduval's 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists, the type-species designation contained in it have not been accepted, either by Hemming or other authors. The acceptance of Boisduval's type-species designation in this case would make no difference to the generic concept as G. rivulata and G. albulata are currently considered to be congeneric. Emmelesia was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 147; and 1831, Illust. Br. Ent. (Haustellata) 3: 296 Parsons et al. (1999, in Scoble) included EMMELESIA Stephens, 1929 as a junior synonym of PERIZOMA Hübner, 1825. |
