| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Hübner regarded the type-species of this genus as an Hesperiid butterfly, placing it (as noted above) in his genus Urbanus, but it is in fact a moth. Like Apatura [Illiger], which has already been discussed, the genus Castnia was established by Illiger in an anonymous paper published in December 1807 with priority slightly above that of the corresponding well-known nominal genera with homonymous names established by Fabricius in the Mag. f. Insektenk. of Illiger. In order to avoid the confusion consequent upon type-changing which would otherwise have been involved, the Commission in its Opinion 232 (1954, Opin. int. Comm. zoom Nom. 4 : 249 - 274) used its Plenary Powers to suppress all these Illigerian names of 1807. As part of this decision, the name Castnia [Illiger], so suppressed, was then placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 39. Cowan (1970: 43) stated:- "[1887] to read [l807]", [type-species year only]. Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:- Under the plenary powers of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1954, Opin. Decl. int. Commn zool. Nom. 4 (Opinion 232) the generic name Castnia [Illiger], 1807, was suppressed for the purposes both of the Law of Priority and the Law of Homonymy and was placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Names in Zoology with the Name No.39. |
