| Memo: | Watson, Fletcher & Nye (1980) stated:- Invalid type-species designation: Phalaena chrysorrhoea Linnaeus, 1778, cited by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gèn. Lépid.) 1: 143. Boisduval in his lengthy 154 page Introduction, reviewed earlier classifications and designated up to three different type-species for each generic name. In his `Exposé de notre mèthode' from page 155-690, no type-species designations were made for the genera he himself used. Under the Code, Article 69(a)(iii), the type-designation of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type`... and if it is clear that he himself accepts it as the type-species'. Boisduval's type designation although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are invalid. Even though Boisdval's 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not in the past been accepted by Hemming, or other authors. Porthesia was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [June], Nom. Br. Insects: 40; and 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 53. |
