Editor’s preface

In the whole of the Animal Kingdom about 290 000 genus-group names have been used and of these
nearly 10% have been applied to moths and butterflies. It is intended to catalogue all of the
24 000 moth names in the following volumes which have either already been published or are in
preparation.

Synopsis

The 4082 genus-group names included in this catalogue are listed alphabetically with their type-species
and relevant references; the family or subfamily placement of each name is given. The type-locality
of the type-species of each nomenclaturally available name is also given. New genus-group names
are proposed for 35 junior homonyms for which no replacement name could be found; one new
genus and two new subgenera are established. Type-species are designated for 166 genera for which
no designation could be found and 21 genera have been transferred to other families.

Aim, Scope and Style

The aim, scope and style of this catalogue follow closely those defined by Dr I. W. B. Nye in the
first volume of this series and his definitions have largely been repeated in this introduction.

The aim of this volume has been to compile a catalogue of all the genus-group names in the super-
family Geometroidea, to include the families Pterothysanidae, Callidulidae, Thyatiridae, Cyclidiidae,
Axiidae, Drepanidae, Uraniidae, Epicopeiidae, Sematuridae, Epiplemidae, Geometridae and Apopro-
gonidae. The families included in this catalogue differ from those listed by Brock, 1971, J. nat. Hist.
5; 29-102, in his definition of the Geometroidea, by the inclusion of the Axiidae and the Apopro-
gonidae, by the separation of the Cyclidiidae from the Drepanidae where Euchera substigmaria Hiibner
[1831], had been placed, and by the separation of the Epicopeiidae and the Sematuridae from the
Uraniidae.

Each nomenclaturally available generic name has been objectively defined by linking it with its first
valid type-species designation, determined according to the International Code of Zoological Nomen-
clature (Edn 2), 1964 (with amendments, 1974). Invalid and incorrect designations of type-species
which antedate the first vglid designation are listed and the reasons for their rejection are given.

This catalogue contains all the genus-group names of the appropriate families included in Neave,
1939-1975, Nomenclator zoologicus 1-7, and in the Zoological Record \x^ to and including volume 109
published in 1977. Relevant names from recent works published up to September 1978 have also
been included.

Subjective synonymy of genus-group names has not been included, except in the case of :

(a) a junior homonym having no objective replacement name, or

(b) two or more genera having type-species which are subjectively synonymous; such genus-group
names have been cross-referenced by the phrase ‘See also Genus Author, date’. Where the type-
species of a genus is a junior subjective synonym, its senior subjective synonym and reference is also
included.

Form of Entries

Sequence

The catalogue is arranged alphabetically. Junior homonyms, junior objective synonyms and names
not nomenclaturally available are listed chronologically under their potentially valid name, and are
also cross-referenced in the main alphabetical sequence.

References

Titles of journals have been abbreviated as in the World List of Scientific Periodicals (Edn 4),
1963-1965. If the cited journal has not been included in the World List, abbreviations in the style
of that work have been used. Nouns always start with a capital letter and adjectives usually start
with a small letter. Abbreviations are followed by a full stop, but contractions are not.

Titles of books and other non-serial works have also been abbreviated in the style of the World List,
using the ‘Select List of Abbreviations’ published in volume 3 of that work.

The full titles of journals may be found in the World List or in the List of Serial Publications in the
British Museum {Natural History) Library (Edn 2), 1975. Most of the titles of books and of other
non-serial works are in the Catalogue of Books, Manuscripts, Maps and Drawings in the British Museum
{Natural History).

Throughout this catalogue the term Commission refers to the International Commission on
Zoological Nomenclature and the term Code refers to the International Code of Zoological Nomen-
clature (Edn 2), 1964, with amendments 1974, Bull. zool. Nom. 31: 77-89.

Dates

Following Recommendation 22A of the Code, dates of publication have been cited in square
brackets if they have been determined from external evidence and in parentheses if determined from
evidence in the volume itself. These dates have usually been followed by those printed on the
title-page to assist in finding the work in library catalogues.

GENERIC NAMES OE MOTHS OF THE WORLD

Dates of publication given in Sherborn’s hulex Animaliwn and in the Catalogue of Books, Manu-
scripts, Maps and Drawings in the British Museum {Natural History) have been adopted, except where
bibliographical research has shown that changes should be made.

Type-localities

Names of countries are given in their current English form and are placed in square brackets when
they have not been included with the original description. Where the modern name of a country
differs from its perhaps better known, older name, the latter has been included in parentheses; for
example, Sulawesi (Celebes). The Times Atlas of the World (Comprehensive Edn), 1968, has been
used as a standard, except for those names changed since its date of publication; for example, Zaire
in place of Congo Republic and Bangladesh in place of East Pakistan. Where no English equivalent
can be given, the locality is cited as published in the original description; for example, Mndiis’ or
Tndes Orientales’.

Where the type-locality is not known or not stated with the original description, brief notes on the
current distribution of the species are given.

Unavailable names

Unavailable names, that is names which are not nomenclaturally available under the provisions of
the Code, are preceded by a double dagger (|) and reasons for their rejection are given.

Names recorded in Neave, Nomenciator zoologicus as ‘(pro A-us Author, date)’ usually lack positive
indication as to whether the names are misspellings without nomenclatural availability or whether
they are emendations with nomenclatural availability. All such entries have been checked and the
correct status given.

A number of manuscript names have been included as "Genus Author, no published reference
found’. These are genus-group names placed in the Rothschild collection of Geometridae by Warren
and in the BMNH collection of Geometridae by Prout, the latter having intended to describe such
genera as new in Seitz, Die Gross-Schmetterlinge der Erde.

Dates of some Important Publications

Agassiz, E. 1842-1847

Nomenciator zoologicus, continens Nomina systematica Generum Animalium tarn viventium quam
fossilium. 4to.

The work consists of twelve quarto sized fascicles published in eight parts, each part in a dated wrapper.
The title-page of the work is dated 1842-1846, but the dated wrappers of the parts span the years
1842-1847. Photocopies of the dated wrappers were kindly sent by Dr W. D. Myers of the Agassiz
Museum at Harvard University, U.S.A.; these have now been placed with the copies of the Nomen-
ciator zoologicus in the BMNH library.

For convenience of reference the parts which include Insecta are tabulated below, together with
their dates of publication.

Index universalis

As will be seen from the above table, the ‘Index universalis’, dated 1847 on the wrapper, includes
a title-page dated 1846. An explanatory note pasted to the front end paper in one of the two copies
in the Agassiz Museum reads ‘However, the title page bound with the fascicle [fascicle 12] itself bears

XI

the date 1846. Apparently this title page was among those supplied in 1846, and fascicle XII, intended
to be published in 1846, [was] not actually published until 1847’.

The ‘Index universalis’ was republished in 1848 in octavo size.

Notes on fascicles 9, 10 and 12 of Agassiz’s Nomenclator zoologicus were published by Cowan,
1970, Annotationes Rhopalocerologicae 1970: 14.

Felder, C., Felder, R. & Rogenhofer, A. F. 1864-1875

Reise der dsterreichisclien Fregatte Novara um die Erde (Zoologischer Theil) Band 2 (Abtheilung 2).

Abtheilung 2 was devoted to Lepidoptera and was published in five Hefte; Hefte 1-3 were by Felder, C.
& Felder, R. and included the Rhopalocera, Hefte 4 and 5 were by Felder, C. & Rogenhofer, A. F.
and included the Heterocera.

Some confusion exists in the literature concerning the dates of publication of the plates of this work.
The plates themselves each bear two dates, the date when the plate was drawn and the date purporting
to be that of publication. For example, plate 75 is inscribed ‘del Febr. 1867. edit 1868’ [delineavit
Febr. 1867, edita 1868; that is, drawn February 1867, published 1868] and plate 137 is inscribed
‘del. 1869. edit Decbri 1874’.

That some of Felder’s Heterocera plates, together with their legends, were circulated before the
dates of publication of the two Hefte in which they were issued is evident from Boisduval’s Consider-
ations Lepidopteres envoyes du Guatemala a M. de VOrza published in 1870. On pages 66-99 of the
work Boisduval attributed to Felder six generic and seventeen specific names, previously unpublished,
and cited nine plates (75, 77, 78, 101-106; plate 108 was cited in error for 103) on which the species
were illustrated in Heft 4 of the Reise Novara.

Butler, 1871, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 8: 290, stated that he had received a letter from Rudolph
Felder dated 5 August 1869 in which he advised Butler that he would soon receive ‘provisional copys
of our Heteroc. plates’. Butler added that shortly after receiving the letter he received uncoloured
proofs of 46 plates; plates 75-107 were lettered, the remainder unlettered. As far as Butler could
ascertain the part of the Reise Novara containing these plates was not then available.

No record or wrapper has been traced to suggest that the Heterocera plates were published in parts
smaller than the two Hefte 4 and 5, so it is therefore probable that Boisduval, like Butler, obtained

privately provisional proof copies of Felder’s plates and their legends prior to their publication in
Vienna in 1874 and 1875. The Felder names used by Boisduval in 1870 are treated as Felder un-
published manuscript names and their authorship attributed to Boisduval.

In 1877 Johann Spitzka, accountant to the Royal Academy of Science in Vienna, the body responsible
for the publication of the Reise Novara, published a twelve-page pamphlet listing all the parts of the
work, their contents and dates of publication; a copy of the pamphlet is in the library of the BMNH.
Some of Spitzka’s dates have, however, been shown to be incorrect.

Dr L. G. Higgins, 1963, J. Soc. Biblphy nat. Hist. 4: 153-159, listed dates of publication of the five
Lepidoptera Hefte, basing his conclusions on the study of two copies of Abtheilung 2 in their original
Heft wrappers and upon data from the Sber. Akad. Wiss. Wien, the journal that included accounts
of the meetings of the Royal Academy of Science in Vienna. The publication of many of the Hefte
of the Reise Novara was announced at the Society’s meetings, but no announcement was made for
the two Lepidoptera Hefte, numbers 2 and 5. The dates of publication suggested by Dr Higgins
have been adopted for use in this catalogue, with the exception of that proposed for Heft 4. The cover
of Heft 4 is dated 1874, its title-page, November 1874; its publication was not, however, announced
until 7 January 1875, but as no meeting of the Society was held between 17 December 1874 and
7 January 1875, the Heft could well have been published in December 1874. The evidence for
accepting 1875 as the year of publication of Heft 4 is inconclusive and insufficient to justify a change
from the currently accepted 1874. In this catalogue [31 December] 1874 has been adopted as the
date of publication of Heft 4.

For convenience of reference the accompanying table has been prepared, listing briefly the contents
of each Heft and the date of publication adopted in this catalogue. For fuller information Dr Higgins’
paper should be consulted.

Herrich-Schaffer, G. A. W. 1843-1856
Systematische Bearbeitung der Schmetterlinge von Europa.

The work consists of six volumes that were published in 69 Hefte. Herrich-Schaffer listed the contents
and the year of publication of each of Hefte 1-65 and the year of publication of each of Hefte 66-69
in 1869, CorrespBl. zool.-niin. Ver. Regensburg 2i : 210-214.

Hemming, 1937, Hiibner 1: 579-589, tabulated the contents and year of publication of all 69 Hefte,
deriving his data from notes compiled by J. H. Durrant from a copy in original wrappers in the
British Library. Durrant’s manuscript notes in the BMNH record that the wrapper of Heft 66 is
dated ‘April 1855’, Heft 67 ‘Juli 1855’ and Heft 68 ‘Ende Dezember 1855’.

Herrich-Schaffer, G. A. W. 1850-[1869] 1850-1858

Sanvnlung neuer oder wenig bekannter aussereuropdischer Schmetterlinge (subsequently titled Lepi-
dopterorwn exoticorum species novae aut minus cognitae and Collections de nouvelles especes de
Papillons exoticpies).

The work was published in two volumes. Volume 1 contains 84 pages of text and 120 coloured
plates. The plates were issued in two separately numbered series: Series I, plates 1-96, illustrate
Heterocera (Nachtfalter) and were published in 26 Hefte; Series 11, plates 1-24, illustrate Rhopalocera
(Tagfalter) and were published in six, possibly seven, Hefte. Volume 2 was published in one Heft in
1869; it contains four pages of text and eight coloured plates, the continuation of the plates of volume 1
in the same two series. Series I plates 97-100 and Series II plates 25-28. Only the first two Hefte of
Series II appear to have been published with the wrappers and title-pages in German; Hefte 1 and 2
of Series I and subsequent Hefte of both Series were published with Latin and French titles, the
former on the left side, the latter on the right side of the front page of the wrapper. The names of
the species illustrated on the plates enclosed in each Heft, together with their localities, were usually
printed on the back page of each wrapper; with rare exceptions the wrappers are undated.

There are some discrepancies in the dates of publication attributed by bibliographers to volume 1,
the title-page of which is dated 1850-1858. Volume 1 (Series I), which includes the plates of
Lepidoptera Heterocera, was issued in 26 Hefte. The dates of publication of the Hefte have been
recorded by Gerstaecker, 1854, Arch. Naturgesch. 20 (2): 263; 1855, ibidem 21 (2); 241; 1856, ibidem
22 (2): 266 and 1857, ibidem 23 (2): 431-433, 439-441 ; by Wuttig, 1860, Kayser's Bucher- Lex. 13: 430;
by Zuchold, [1854], Bihlthca hist.-nat. 4: 120; [1855], ibidem 5: 21 ; [1856], ibidem 6 (1): 24 and [1857],
ibidem 6 (2): 140-141 ; by Cams & Englemann, 1861, Biblthca zool. 2: 576; by Herrich-Schaffer himself,
1869, CorrespBl. zool.-min. Ver. Regensburg 23: 214; by Woodward, 1922, Cat. Books, Manuscripts,
Maps & Drawings Br. Mus. {nat. Hist.) 6: 458; by Dalla Torre, 1927, Ent. NachrBl. Troppau 1 (2):
1-2 and by Horn & Schenkling, 1928, Index Lit. ent. 2: 546.

Wuttig recorded that 25 Hefte were issued by 1856 and the issue of the Schluss-Heft, Heft 26, in
1858 to complete the work. Gerstaecker recorded the issue of 25 Hefte by 1856, with the text still
incomplete. Woodward recorded the work as complete in 25 Hefte.

There is general agreement on the years of publication of Hefte 1-17, which included plates 1-68,
figures 1-390; these were published in the years 1853-1855. The first twelve Hefte each consisted of
four plates with the names of the species that were illustrated and their localities printed on the back

GENERIC NAMES OF MOTHS OF THE WORLD

page of the green Umschlag, or wrapper. Dalla Torre dated plates 1-3 ‘before July 1853’ and plates
4-16 ‘July 1853’; the legend to plates 1-4 was, however, published entire on one wrapper. Evidently
‘1-3’ and ‘4-16’ are errors for ‘1-4’ and ‘5-16’.

Hefte 18-22, which included plates 69-79, figures 391-458, were variously dated 1855 and 1856 by
different bibliographers; the precise contents of each of the five Hefte have not yet been established.
Available evidence suggests that Woodward’s grouping and dating of Hefte 13-22 (plates 49-88) as
1855 and his grouping of Hefte 23-24 (plates 89-94) were mistaken, for fifteen plates (80-94) were
issued in Hefte 23-25 in 1856. The Heft or Hefte which contained plates 71-78, figures 404-451,
were issued in one wrapper with the legend printed in a single column on the back page; this is the
only dated wrapper of volume 1 (Series I) so far located. At its head is a note which states that
‘The names of those species figured on plates 69, 70, 79-82 follow with the next parts, in which will
also be included the text, corrections and indices. Regensburg d. 31. Dec. 1855’; at its foot was
added ‘Textbogen A-G’ [pages 1-52]. The inference is that plates 69-82 were issued simultaneously;
eight (71-78) with relevant legends, the remaining six, 69, 70, 79-82, without legends and that the first
fifty-two pages of the text accompanied them, but this is not supported by subsequent evidence.
According to Gerstaecker (1857; 431) the first part of the text, fifty-two pages, was issued in 1856
together with fifteen plates in Hefte 23-25. The fifteen plates were 80-94 and the legend to them was
printed in double column on one wrapper. It seems probable therefore that Hefte 18-22 included
plates 71-78 with their legend printed in single column on their wrapper and plates 69, 70 and 79
without legends; plates 80-82 and Textbogen A-G were not issued then, but were included with
Hefte 23-25 in 1856. No printed legend has yet been found to plates 69, 70 or 79, so the names of
the species illustrated on them should be dated from the text.

A foot-note published first in 1855, Syst. Bearbeilung Schmett. Eur. 6: 86 and subsequently in
[1856], Samml. neuer oder wenig bekannter aussereur. Schmett. 1; 6, stated with reference to Series I
of the latter work that ‘up to now 516 figures on 90 plates have appeared’. Page 86 of volume 6 was
included in Heft 68 of the European work which, according to Herrich-Schaffer (1869: 214) and to
wrapper evidence, was published in 1855.

The last Heft of the aussereur. Schmett. to be published in 1855, in a wrapper dated 31 December
1855, included plates 71-78 (figures 391-476) with legend and, by inference, plate 69, 70, 79-82 without
legend (see above). Further, wrapper evidence shows that plate 90 did not conclude a Heft, but that
it appeared in a sequence which ended with plate 94, for the legends to plates 80-94 (figures 459-540)
were printed on one wrapper. A possible explanation of the foot-note is that at the time 516 figures
on 90 plates had been printed, but not necessarily issued.

A foot-note on the wrapper of the Heft that included plates 80-94 stated that with Heft 26
[Schluss-Heft] the work would be completed and that with it the title and relevant text would be
issued. According to Wuttig (1860: 430), the Schluss-Heft which included the second part of the
text, pages 53-84, and four plates [numbers not stated] was issued in 1858.

Volume 1 (Series II) which included the plates of Lepidoptera Rhopalocera was issued in at least
five Hefte; Woodward (1922: 458) differs from other bibliographers in recording the issue of the
plates in seven Hefte. Heft 5 evidently included plates [19-22], for Gerstaecker (1857: 431) recorded
the issue of the part and discussed the species illustrated on them on pages 440 and 441 of the same
article; Woodward referred these plates to Hefte 5 and 6. Plates [23] and [24] recorded by Woodward
as Heft 7 were evidently published without a legend on the wrapper; the sole new species illustrated,
Euriphene senegalensis Herrich-Schaffer, should be dated from the text.

According to Herrich-Schaffer (1869: 214), volume 2 was published in August 1869 and all biblio-
graphers appear to have accepted that date.

The accompanying table summarises the available evidence of the dates of publication so far
examined and records the dates that have been adopted in this catalogue.

Hubner, J. 1786-1842

The dates cited in this catalogue are taken from Hemming, 1937, Hubner volumes 1 and 2.

Seitz, A. 1906-1954

Die Gross-Schmetterlinge der Erde (German Edition) and The Macrolepidoptera of the World (English

The dates of publication cited for Seitz are those printed at the top of the first page of each eight-page
signature. Where the dates of the eight-page signatures differ in the German and English editions,
the earlier has been cited and the later noted in a comment. The signature dates have been adopted
in preference to those listed by Griffin, 1936, Trans. R. ent. Soc. Land. 85: 243-280, which are the
dates of receipt of the parts in London.

Stephens, J. F. 1829 [1 june]

The Nomenclature of British Insects.

Publication of the Nomenclature was announced in ‘Books published this Week’ [Wednesday 27 May-
Tuesday 2 June 1829] in the Athenaeum 1829 (84): 352, published on 3 June 1829.

Page [1] of the wrapper of part 28 of Illustrations of British Entomology (Haustellata) carried the
announcement that the Nomenclature had been published on 1 June 1829.

A Systematic Catalogue of British Insects.

Publication of the Systematic Catalogue was announced in ‘Books published this Week’ [Wednesday
15 July-Tuesday 21 July 1829] in the Athenaeum 1829 (91): 464, published on 22 July 1829.

Page [1] of the wrapper of part 29 of Illustrations of British Entomology (Haustellata) carried the
announcement that the Systematic Catalogue had been published on 15 July 1829 (‘On the fifteenth

Walker, F. 1854-1866

List of the Specimens of lepidopterous Insects in the Collection of the British Museum volumes 1-35.
The dates cited in this catalogue are those listed by Nye, 1975, Generic Names Moths World 1: 6, 7.

Werny, K. 1966

Untersuchungen iiber die Systematik der Tribus Thyatirini, Macrothyatirini, Habrosynini und Tetheini
(Lepidoptera Thyatiridae). (Doctoral Thesis).

Karl Werny’s thesis for a doctorate in natural sciences, submitted to the University of Saarbriicken
in 1966, was reproduced by Rotaprint-Olfset ensuring identical copies, printed by ink on paper and
was freely available from the author and from the university; it thus satisfied the criteria of publication
as defined in the Code, Article 8. The work was recorded, together with the new taxa and new
combinations that it contained, by Clark, J. et al., in Vevers, 1973, Zool. Rec. 105 (B 13): 274, 599, 600.
The four new generic names and any relevant type-species designations contained in the work have
been included in this catalogue.

Homonymy

Names that have been proposed expressly to replace junior homonyms, and junior objective
synonyms that have been used for the same purpose, are referred to in this catalogue as objective
replacement names. Junior subjective synonyms that have been used to replace preoccupied senior
synonyms are referred to as subjective replacement names.

Of the 3680 nomenclaturally available generic names included in this catalogue 247 were found to
be junior homonyms. Objective replacement names are available for 144; the type-species of each
of the remaining homonyms has been studied and wherever it was possible to find a genus with a
type-species congeneric with that of the homonym, then the latter has been placed as a subjective
synonym of it. There remained, however, 35 for which there is neither an objective nor a subjective
replacement name and new names have been proposed for these genera. A list of the new names
has been included in a ‘Summary of new genus-group names proposed’.

Misidentified Type-species

Under Article 70 of the Code it is to be assumed that an author has correctly identified the nominal
species that he

(1) referred to a new genus when he proposed it, or

(2) designated as type-species of a new or established genus.

In this catalogue there are several genera having type-species now known to be based on mis-
identified specimens; in each case not decided upon by the Commission, the misidentification has been
corrected and the reasons for doing so have been given; the correct species has been cited with the
misidentification in synonymy. Several of the type-species are well known in the European fauna
and have been illustrated several times; less well known species from other regions are illustrated
on Frontispieces 1 and 2.

Under Article 70(a) of the Code such cases should be referred to the Commission to designate as
type-species whichever species will in its judgement best serve stability and uniformity in nomenclature.

Family-group Names

The family and subfamily names used in this catalogue are in the main universally used and only at
subfamily level in the Geometridae does some confusion arise. Reasons for this are discussed below
and a table is given summarising the classification used by authors at the turn of the century and
during the past seventy years.

The Drepanidae were termed Drepanulidae by Warren and by Hampson between 1890 and 1900,
but the family has been consistently named Drepanidae during the present century. Drepanidae
was confirmed as the correct family-group name by the Commission in 1961, Bull. zool. Nom. 18
Opinion 610; 267-269, when the family-group name Drepanidae (correction of Drepanulidi Boisduval
[November] 1828) was placed on the Ojficial List of Family-Group Names in Zoology with Name
No. 307 and Drepanulidi Boisduval [November] 1828 was placed on the Ojficial Index of Rejected
and Invalid Family-Group Names in Zoology with Name No. 338.

The Thyatiridae have been widely known as Cymatophoridae, but the type-genus Cymatophora
Treitschke, 1825, is a junior homonym of Cymatophora Hiibner, [1812], in the Geometridae. Accord-
ing to Article 39 of the Code ‘The name of a taxon of the family-group is invalid if the name of its
nominal type-genus is a junior homonym’ and for that reason Thyatiridae is used in place of
Cymatophoridae.

The Geometridae have been known variously as Phalaenidae and as Geometridae, but under a
Ruling by the Commission, 1957, Opin. Decl. int. Commn zool. Nom. 15; Opinion 450, the name
Geometridae was declared to be the correct name for the family and it was placed on the Ojficial List
of Family-Group Names in Zoology with Name No. 137. The subfamily names used in this catalogue
are a combination of those that are mandatory and those that have the widest current use.

The subfamily widely known as the Brephinae has been renamed Archiearinae. The type-genus
of Brephinae is Brephos Hiibner, [1813]; its type-species is now known to be Phalaena Julia Cramer,
1775, in the Agaristidae. No subfamily name was available from the synonymy of Brephinae sensu
auct. in the Geometridae, so the name Archiearinae was introduced by Fletcher, 1953, Acta zool.
lilloana 13; 367.

The subfamily widely known as the Oenochrominae, a family-group name first proposed by Guenee
in 1857, has been subdivided by Guenee himself, by Meyrick, Warren, Hulst, Tutt and by Herbulot.
Of the twelve other subfamily names in the literature associated with the Oenochrominae, the two
names Monocteniadae proposed by Meyrick in 1889 and Orthostixidae proposed by Meyrick in 1892
have had the widest use. Oenochrominae, however, has had almost universal use during the past
sixty years. The family-group name Alsophilinae proposed by Herbulot in 1962 has not been
separated from the Oenochrominae in this catalogue.

In Opinion 450 the Commission ruled Phalaena papilionaria Linnaeus, 1758, to be the type-species
of the genus Geometra Linnaeus, 1758; thus the nominate subfamily name Geometrinae replaced
Hemitheinae. Until the publication of Opinion 450 the subfamily had been almost universally
known as Hemitheinae since the beginning of this century; prior to that period eight other subfamily
names had been used for the group, or for parts of it. Haziidae introduced by Guenee in 1857 and
Euschemidae introduced by Walker in 1862 each had wide use.

If priority were to be applied to the naming of the subfamily now known as the Sterrhinae, proposed
by Meyrick in 1892, and widely used during this century, the name Zonosominae proposed by White
in 1876 and used since only by Kirby in 1903, would have to be adopted. The earlier and widely
used Ephyridae and Acidaliidae are invalid because of the homonymy in each case of the type-genus.
Eight other subfamily names were applied to this subfamily, or to parts of it, between 1881 and 1918.
Rhodometrinae, proposed by Agenjo in 1951, has not been separated from the Sterrhinae in this
catalogue.

The Larentiinae were widely known at the end of the nineteenth century as the Hydriomeninae, but
during the present century the name Larentiinae has been almost universally adopted. The subfamily
was split by Warren in 1893 and 1894 into six separate groups, to each of which he accorded family
rank.

The largest of the subfamilies in the Geometridae, distinguished by the absence of vein M2 in the
hind wing, has been split into at least twenty groups. Warren, 1893, 1894, recognized nineteen
subfamilies; other authors have treated his subfamilies as tribes. The first name to be applied to this
subfamily is Ennominae, proposed by Duponchel [1845]. The name Geometrinae was applied to it
in volumes 4 and 16 of Seitz, Gross-Schmett. Erde, but since the publication of Opinion 450 in 1957,
Geometrinae may no longer be used for this subfamily.

The two comparative tables of family-group name usages summarize the classification of the
families included in this catalogue in two standard works at the beginning of this century and in seven
more recent works representing various parts of the world.

A junior homonym of Cymatophora Hubner, [1812] 1806,
Samml. exot. Schmett. I: pi. [205] - Lepid. Geometridae and
a junior objective synonym of Achlya Billberg, 1820.

The generic name was listed by Duponchel as XCymatho-
phora, an incorrect subsequent spelling.

It is arguable that Cymatophora was proposed by Treitschke
as an objective replacement name for Tethea Ochsenheimer,
1816, which Treitschke believed to be preoccupied by Tethya
Lamarck, 1814 (Spongida) and which he cited as Tethya
Donati, an incorrect authorship. If this argument is sustained,
the type-species of Tethea would then be Phalaena flavicornis
Linnaeus, 1758, designated by Duponchel for Cymatophora
Treitschke, the objective replacement name, not Noctua or
[Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, designated by Curtis four
months later for Tethea. Tethea would thus become a senior
objective synonym of Achlya Billberg, 1820, and Palimpsestis
Hubner, 1821, would become the generic name available for
those species currently included in Tethea.

In the opinion of the author the interests of stability are
better served by regarding Tethea Ochsenheimer, 1816, and
Cymatophora Treitschke, 1825, as independent genera.

A junior homonym of Eunemoria Packard, 1873 [July], Rep.
Peabody Acad. Sci. 5: 76 - Lepid. Geometridae and an objective
synonym of Annemoria Packard, 1876.

The date of the first publication of Eunemoria in July 1873

reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and designated
as many as four different type-species for each generic name.
In his ‘Expose de notre methode’, pages 1 55-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself used,
f 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 if 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 Boisduval’s work was well known to lepidopter-
ists, the type-designations contained in it have not been accepted
either by Hemming or by other authors. The acceptance of
Boisduval’s type-species designation in the case of Bistort would
make no difference to the generic concept, P. betularia Linnaeus
I and P. strataria Hufnagel being currently regarded as
i congeneric.

Latreille proposed Botys for four included nominal species,
I Crambus erigatus Fabricius, 1798; Crambus colonum Fabri-
. cius, 1798; Phalaena purpuraria Linnaeus, 1758; and Pha-
I laena potamogata Linnaeus, 1758. The genus was
characterised by the presence of two distinct pairs of palpi, one
I pair being small and situated above the other. In this respect
! all the included species agree with the generic diagnosis, but
only if P. purpuraria is construed as a lapsus calami for P.
i purpuralis Linnaeus, 1758.

I It is unlikely that if Latreille had had before him a specimen
of the true Phalaena purpuraria Linnaeus, 1758 (Geometridae)
j’ with only one pair of palpi he would have included it in
[, Botys. The inference is, therefore, that Phalaena purpuraria
: was a lapsus calami for Phalaena purpuralis Linnaeus, 1758,
a species of Pyralidae with two pairs of palpi, a conclusion
• reached by Stephens, 1834, Illust. Br. Ent. (Haustellata) 4: 46
and repeated in substance by Prout, 1908, Entomologist's Rec.
J. Var. 20; 141.

(Edn 10) 1: 522, by subsequent designation by Westwood, 1840
June, Introd. mod. Classif. Insects 2 (Synopsis Genera Br.
Insects): 100. Europe.

The objective synonyms Camera Treitschke and Deilinia Hiib-
ner were both proposed in 1825. The dates of publication of
the relevant parts of the works concerned were discussed by
Fletcher, 1966, Entomologist's Gaz. 17: 10-12.

Geometra respersaria Hiibner, [1799], was designated as
type-species of Cabera by Blanchard, 1840 [December], in
Castelnau, Hist. nat. Insectes 3: 534, but was cited as stri gill aria
Hiibner, which Blanchard placed on the same page as a senior
synonym of respersaria Hiibner, one of the nominal species
originally included in Cabera. Notice of publication of Blan-
chard’s work containing this designation appeared in 1840
December 26, Biblphie Fr. 1840 No.52: 697, Entry no. 6291.
Blanchard’s designation is, however, antedated by that of West-
wood, the date of which is taken from the wrapper of part 16,
which included pages 97-158.

Incorrect type-species: Phalaena strigillaria Hiibner, 1787,
a name not originally included in Cabera and not linked with
one of the originally included names when designated by
Duponchel, 1829, in Godart & Duponchel, Hist. nat. Lepid.
Papillons Fr. 1 (2): 108.

The subsequent synonymy of P. strigillaria Hiibner, 1787,
with Geometra respersaria Hiibner, [1799], one of the names
originally included in Cabera, was not published by Duponchel
until 1836, ibidem 8 (1): 8; Duponchel’s designation of P.
strigillaria as type-species of Cabera does not therefore meet
the requirements of Article 69(a)(iv) of the Code.

HERCYNA Stephens, 1829 [June], Nom. Br. Insects: 45.

Type-species: Phalaena clathrata Linnaeus, 1758, by PRES-

A junior homonym of Hercyna Treitschke, 1828, in Ochsen-
heimer, Schmett. Eur. 6 (2): 318 - Lepid. Pyralidae and a
junior objective synonym of Chiasmia Hiibner, [1823].

Invalid type-species designation: Phalaena clathrata Lin-
naeus, 1758, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat.
Insectes (Spec. gen. Lepid.) 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 ‘Expose de notre methode’, pages 1 55-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself used.

Linder 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 Boisduval’s 1836 work was well known to
lepidopterists, the type-species designations contained in it have
not been accepted, either by Hemming or by other authors.

The acceptance of Boisduval’s type-species designation in this
case would make no difference to the generic concept.

Hercyna was proposed again by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst.
Cat. Br. Insects (2): 149.

ARTE Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2); 373.

The true identity of [Phalaena] pendularia Clerck, 1759,
Icon. Insect, rariorum 1: pi. 7, fig. 5 was established by Nords-
trom, 1941, Ent. Tidskr. 62: 127-130 and it was placed by him
as a senior subjective synonym of Geometra orbicularia Hubner,
[ 1 799] 1 796, Samml. eur. Schmett. 5: pi. 1 2, fig. 60. Nordstrom
also shewed the first available name for [Phalaena] pendularia
sensu auct. to be Phalaena albipunctata Hufnagel, 1767.

Under Article 70(a) of the Code the case of a misidentified
type-species should be referred to the Commission.

Invalid designation of type-species: Geometra omicronaria
[Denis & SchifTermiiller], 1775, was designated by Boisduval,
1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gen. Lepid.) 1: 146.

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 ‘Expose de notre methode’,pages 1 55-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself used.

Under Arcticle 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 if 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 Boisduval’s work was well known to lepidopter-
ists, the type-designations contained in it have not been accepted
either by Hemming or by other authors. The acceptance of
Boisduval’s type-species designation in the case of Cyclophora
would make no difference to the generic concept, G. omicronaria
[Denis & Schiffermiiller] and P. albipunctata Hufnagel being
currently regarded as congeneric.

Damias was placed by Pagenstecher, 1887, Jb. nassau. Ver.
Naturk. 40: 219, in the Callidulidae and the name has been
used subsequently in this family by several other authors.
Damias has since been transferred to the Arctiidae, subfamily
Lithosiinae, where it was placed by Strand, 1922, in Wagner,
Lepid. Cat. 26: 667.

Damias has been used incorrectly by Kiriakoff, 1976, Tier-
reich 97: 79, as a valid name in the Agaristidae. Kiriakoff
based his usage on ‘1854 Damias WALKER, List Lepidopt.
Het. Brit. Mus., 1: 14. - Species typica: Damias varia
WALKER (by monotypy)’. Walker had, however, correctly
attributed Damias to Boisduval and used this generic name for
four species, not one, the first being D. elegans.

Invalid type-species designation: Geometra albulata [Denis
& Schiffermiiller], 1775, was designated by Boisduval, 1836,
Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gen. Lepid.) 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 ‘Expose de notre methode’,pages 1 55-690, 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 Boisduval’s 1836 work was well known to
lepidopterists, the type-species designations contained in it have
not been accepted, either by Hemming or by 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.

Werneburg, 1859, ibidem 20: 354, 355, 361 demonstrated
that P. alniaria Linnaeus had been misidentified by many
authors, including Hubner and Treitschke, and proposed the
name autumnaria for the misidentified species. It is evident
from Duponchel’s text and figures (1829, ibidem 7 (2): 139, pi.
142, figs 1, 2) that he too adopted the Hiibner and Treitschke
interpretation of P. alniaria; thus the species he designated as
the type of Ennomos Treitschke, 1 825, is also Phalaena alniaria
Linnaeus sensu auct.= Eugonia autumnaria Werneburg.

Under Article 70(a) of the Code, the case of a misidentified

Tt is impossible to establish precisely the date of issue of

ErschofTs paper was completed in August 1 870 and sent to the
Society on 21 December 1870. In the official report of the
Society, dated 21 January 1871, its receipt is acknowledged.
In April 1 871 , at the meeting of the Society, the Secretary K.I.
Renar submitted a double issue of numbers 3 and 4 for 1870
under his editorship. As the members of the Society usually
met once a month one can presume that the ErscholT paper was

Gumppenberg originally proposed the generic name Euste-
gania in a key on page 334 for his genus no. 170; in the
Synopsis Generum on page 340 of the same volume he renamed
genus no. 170 Calomicta. Gumppenberg probably believed
Eustegania to be preoccupied by Stegania Guenee, [1845], for
in a similar case he proposed Catastictis unnecessarily as a
replacement name for Eufitchia Packard, 1876, in the mistaken
belief that it was preoccupied by Fitchia Stal, 1859.

When Calomicta was fully diagnosed by Gumppenberg in a
later part of the same work in 1896, the only included species
was Stegania dalmataria Guenee, 1857.

subsequent spelling), type-locality: not stated. [Europe].

Grammatophora was again proposed by Stephens, 1829
[July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 126.

Invalid designation of type-species: Phalaena wauaria Lin-
naeus, 1758 (but cited as an incorrect subsequent

spelling) was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes,
(Spec. gen. Lepid.) 1: 146.

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 ‘Expose de notre methode’,pages 1 55-690, 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 if 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 Boisduval’s 1836 work was well known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted, either by Hemming or by other authors. The
acceptance in this case would make no difference to the generic
concept.

four male specimens from Glenwood Springs, Colorado

annis obliquaria Grote’ in Warren’s handwriting. The four
specimens were subsequently determined by Dr. F. Rindge cs
Glena mcdunnougharia Sperry, 1952.

cation to the I.C.Z.N. ‘to set aside all designations of type-

A junior objective synonym of Hydriomena Hiibner, [1825].

Invalid designation of type-species: Geometra elutata Hiib-
ner, [1799], was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat.
Insectes (Spec. gen. Lepid.) 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 ‘Expose de notre methode’,pages 1 55-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera that he himself
used.

Linder 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 if 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 Boisduval’s 1836 work was well known to
lepidopterists, the type-species designations contained in it have
not been accepted, either by Hemming or by other authors.
The acceptance of Boisduval’s type-species designation in this
case would make no difference to the generic concept.

Incorrect type-species: Ypsipetes Xifnplanaria Boisduval
(possibly an incorrect subsequent spelling of Cidaria impluvi-
aria Boisduval, 1840, Genera Index meth. eur. Lepid.: 214), a

reading "Iridobapta penumbrata Warr. Type female’ in War-

his manuscript and the passing of the final proof, Warren
decided to abandon the specific name ^penumbrata and dedicate
the species to the collector of the single female specimen, but
omitted to alter the type-species designation and the type-label
on the specimen.

Under Article 70(a) of the Code the case of a misidentified
type-species should be referred to the Commission.

The objective synonyms Larentia Treitschke and Plerocymia
Hiibner were both proposed in 1825. The dates of publication

Melanoptilon was included by Herrich-Schaffer in his ‘Syn-

Syst. Bearbeitung Schmett. Eur. 6: 82-133. The title-page of
volume 6 is dated 1843-1856 but Herrich-Schaffer, f869,
CorrespBl. zool. -min. Ver. Regensburg 23: 214, has stated that
Heft 68 (which included the Synopsis) was published in 1855;
the Heft wrapper is so dated.

The same Synopsis was included in Samml. neuer oder wenig
bekannter aussereur. Schmett. 1: 2-52; the title-page of this
work is dated 1850-1858 but Gerstaecker, 1857, Arch. Natur-
gesch. 23 (2): 431, has stated that pages 1-52 were published
in 1856. Further information is given in the Introduction to
this volume under Dates of some important Publications.

The generic diagnosis of Monroa was based on five specimens,
two males and three females from Colorado; one of the
specimens bears the label '’Monroa 5-linearia Pack.’ in Warren’s
handwriting. These specimens were subsequently recognised
by Prout to have been misidentified by Warren and were then
correctly determined as Cleora formosata Hulst, 1 896; Prout’s
determination was subsequently confirmed by Rindge.

In 1970, Bull. zool. Nom. 26: 243-244 Rindge made appli-
cation to the I.C.Z.N. ‘to set aside all designations of type-
species for the nominal genus Monroa Warren, 1904, and
having done so to designate Cleora formosata Hulst as the
type-species of that genus’.

NOTODONTIDAE

Type-species: Notodontella nieuwenhuisi Roepke, 1943,
ibidem 32: 79, fig.7, by monotypy. java: eastern, Mt Ardjuno,
Djunggo.

Notodontella was originally proposed in the Notodontidae,
but was transferred provisionally to the Thyatiridae by Kiriak-
off, 1968, in Wytsman, Genera Insect. 217 (C): 2. Examination
of the type specimen of Notodontella nieuwenhuisi has shown
it to be closely related to Fentonia ferrifusa Dudgeon, 1898, J.
Bombay nat. Hist. Soc. 11 (4): 634, currently included in the
genus Fentonia Butler, 1881, in the Notodontidae. Notodon-
tella Roepke, 1943, is therefore here restored to the
Notodontidae.

This genus was originally proposed in the Noctuidae, but has
since been transferred to the Geometridae; I have not found
any published reference to this transfer.

Invalid designation of type-species: Phalaena populata Tin-
naeus, 1758, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat.
Insectes (Spec. gen. Tepid.) 1: 146.

In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval
reviewed earlier classifications of Tepidoptera and designated
as many as four different type-species for each generic name.
In his 'Expose de notre methode’,pages 1 55-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera that 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 if 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 Boisduval’s 1836 work was well known to
lepidopterists, the type-species designations contained in it have
not been accepted, either by Hemming or by other authors.
The acceptance of Boisduval’s type-species designation in the
case of Electra would result in the transfer of the name from
the objective synonymy of Pelurga Hiibner, [1825], to the
objective synonymy of Lygris Hiibner, [1825].

Electra was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst.

Phanerothyris was nomenclaturally available from 1895 but
the only included name, Boarmia Xlncertaria Leech which
Warren designated as type-species, was a nomen nudum. No
additional information or explanation appears in Warren’s man-
uscript or in his notebooks and Prout recorded in his Ascotinae
notebook ‘There is no such species in Leech, 1897, nor do I find
in BM nor in Entomologist (Suppl.) [1891]’.

I have not found any subsequently included species, so in
order to place this generic name 1 have included the above-
designated type-species, Tephrosia brunnearia, which agrees in
structure with the generic diagnosis.

T. brunnearia is a junior subjective synonym of Tephrosia

106 of Felder’s Reise ost. Fregatte Novara (Zool.) 2 (Abt.2),
which were included in Heft 4 of that work and were not, on
available evidence, published until 1874. It seems probable
that Boisduval had access to proof copies or to copies of the
plates that were sent to him privately prior to publication.

Boisduval’s references to ‘plate 108’ on pages 91 and 92
should read ‘plate 103’.

At the end of his description of Epilais aequatorialis, which
he attributed to Felder, Boisduval stated ‘Felder places this
species in his genus Phelodes'. Phelodes was there published

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 ‘Expose de notre methode’,pages 1 55-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera that he himself
used. Under Article 69(a)(iii) of the Code, the type-designa-
tion 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 Boisduval’s 1836 work was well known
to lepidopterists, the type-species designations contained in it
have not been accepted, either by Hemming or by other authors.

The acceptance of Boisduval’s type-species designation in this
case would result in Phibalapteryx being removed from current
use as the generic name for Phalaena virgata Hufnagel, 1767,
and being placed as a junior objective synonym of Horisme
Hiibner, [1825].

Boisduval listed the generic name as XPhibulapteryx, an
incorrect subsequent spelling.

describing as Prionomelia Xgrisea. The three males listed,
from Rico, Colorado, are Aids spododea Hulst, 1896, and are

It was not until Grote, 1863, ibidem 2: 337, that cymato-

There is no objective replacement name, but L. butyrosa is
congeneric with Panagra cavifasciata Butler, 1882, the type-

Schrank proposed Scopula for two included nominal species,
Pyralis paludalis Schrank, 1802 (Geometridae) and Pyralis
dentalis [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775 (Pyralidae). The
purpose of Prout’s paper The generic Name Scopula', 1906,
ibidem 39: 266 cited above, was to show that the generic name
should properly be applied to P. paludalis in the Geometridae
and that its use for P. dentalis in the Pyralidae was incorrect.

Should this type-species designation be considered imprecise,
Prout’s designation four years later of the same type-species in
1910, in Wytsman, Genera Insect. 103: 2 (but again designated
as Pyralis paludalis Schrank; see below) may be cited.

In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval

designation was made for any of the genera that he himself
used.

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-designations although clearly stated,
do not fulfil the last requirement and so are invalid. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists,
the type-designations contained in it have not been accepted,
either by Hemming or by other authors. The acceptance of
Boisduval’s type-species designation in the case of Scopula
would result in the transfer of a name widely used in the
Geometridae for a genus of several hundred species, to the
Pyralidae where it would become a senior objective synonym
of Cynaeda Hiibner, [1825].

Staudinger, 1901, in Staudinger & Rebel, Cat. Lepid.
palaearct. Eaunengeb. 1: 357, originally proposed the name
conspersaria in the varietal sense for what he believed to be a
subspecies of Geometra gilvaria [Denis & Schiffermuller],
1775, occurring in Labrador and also in the infrasubspecific
sense for what he believed to be an aberration of gilvaria
occurring in central Asia. The Labrador subspecies was raised
to specific rank in the combination Aspilates conspersaria
Staudinger by Forbes, 1948, Lepid. N.Y. and neighboring States
2: 80; Munroe, 1963, Can. Ent. 95: 278 accorded conspersaria
similar status. The LECTOTYPE, here designated, bears the
following data: Labrador Flbr Schlz 84: Coll. Moschl.: Origin.:
V. et ab. conspersaria [in Staudinger’s hand-writing]: Zool.
Mus. Berlin; the specimen, a male, is in the Zoological
Museum, Berlin.

Wehrli, 1953, ibidem 4 (Suppl.): 678 raised the asiatic
Aspilates gilvaria [Denis & Schiffermuller] ab. conspersaria
Staudinger to specific rank in the combination Aspilates {Sem-
iaspilates) conspersaria Staudinger and designated it as type-
species of the subgenus Semiaspilates Wehrli, 1953. Under
Article 10(b) of the Code, a name first established with infra-
subspecific rank becomes available when elevated to a rank in
the species-group and takes the date and authorship of its
elevation. Thus the type-species of Semiaspilates is Aspilates
conspersaria Wehrli, 1953.

The characterization of Semiaspilates and of its type-species
was based by Wehrli on a series of specimens in his own
collection which he believed to represent the asiatic Aspilates
gilvaria ab. conspersaria Staudinger. Through the courtesy
of Dr H.-E. Back of the Alexander Koenig Museum in Bonn,
I have been able to examine a series of six syntypes from the
Wehrli collection and here designate the specimen bearing the
following data as LECTOTYPE male, [U.S.S.R.]: Gouv.
Irkutsk, Sajan montes orient., Tunkinsk Weissberge, 2000 m.,
Juli: [genitalia slide no.] 7627, in Museum Alexander Koenig,
Bonn.

Aspilates conspersaria Wehrli, 1953, is a primary homonym
of Aspilates conspersaria Staudinger, 1901. There is no objec-
tive replacement name, but A. conspersaria Wehrli appears to
be conspecific with Aspilates sibirica Djakonov, 1955, Zool.
Zhurn. 34: 557, fig. B; the latter is thus available as a sub-
jective replacement name.

Semiaspilates was originally proposed as a subgenus of
Aspitates Treitschke, 1825; it was raised to generic rank by
Vojnits, 1975, Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 67: 202.

Type-species: Tetrads pallulata Hulst, 1887, by PRESENT
DESIGNATION.

Prionotetracis was nomenclaturally available from 1894, but
was without available included species. The genus was pro-
posed to include only Prionotetracis Xlatistrigata Warren, a
nomen nudum\ according to Prout’s manuscript notes the
species Warren had intended to describe as Prionotetracis
Xlatistrigata proved to be Tetrads jubararia Hulst, 1886,
Entomologica am. 2: 121.

In order to place this generic name. Tetrads pallulata has
been included as type-species; Prionotetracis thus becomes a
senior objective synonym of Synaxis Hulst, 1896, Trans. Am.
ent. Soc. 23: 377.

Prionotetracis has, however, not been used so far as I can
discover since Hulst mentioned the name in his description of
Synaxis-, the latter name should therefore be conserved under
the provisions of Article 23(a-b) of the International Code of
Zoological Nomenclature and application made to the Com-
mission for the suppression of the name Prionotetracis under
Article 79(b).

Guenee proposed Syrtodes for seven species, which he divided
into three groups. The first group included only one species,
Syrtodes cythereata Guenee, which the author regarded as
atypical and which he stated would later on form a distinct
genus (‘II formera un genre par la suite’).

Warren’s qualified restriction (1904, Novit. zool. 11: 124) of
Syrtodes to S. cythereata and his redescription of tjie genus to
accommodate that species is not only clearly contrary to Gue-
nee’s concept of Syrtodes, but does not constitute a valid
designation of type-species under Article 67(c) of the Code.

Taxeotis was used by Guest without any indication that it j
was a new generic name. The name was probably obtained
from Meyrick as an identification and was unintentionally made
nomenclaturally available before Meyrick’s generic description
was published.

Panagra inconcisata Walker, 1861, and at the same time !
included Taxeotis delogramma Meyrick, 1890, in subjective j
synonymy; both were originally included names. i

Turner, 1929, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 54: 480 cited 'Panagra
intextata Guenee, 1857 (ncc Meyrick)’; Turner considered the
species originally included in Taxeotis by Meyrick as P. intex-
tata Guenee (Meyrick, 1890, ibidem (2) 4: 1147) to be a
misidentification. With P. intextata Guenee, Turner subjec-
tively synonymized Panagra inconcisata Walker, 1861, and
Taxeotis delogramma Meyrick, 1890; both were originally
included names.

A junior homonym of Taxeotis Guest, 1887 - Lepid. Geo-

Neither Dr E.L. Todd of the U.S.N.M. nor I have been able
to trace any published reference to Thysanoctena dormita
Schaus and no type-specimen has been found in the Schaus
collection in the U.S.N.M.; I conclude therefore that it was
a Schaus manuscript name.

Among Warren’s manuscript notes in the BMNH is his hand-
written description of Thysanoctena based on two specimens,
one male and one female, from Santo Domingo, Peru, in the
Rothschild collection; each specimen bears a label ‘Thysan-
octena dormita Schaus’ in Warren’s handwriting and the male
specimen is illustrated in Warren’s notes by a pencil drawing.
The two specimens are now in the BMNH.

The description of the specialized wing structure of the male
in the generic diagnosis is sufficient to validate the specific name
and I here designate as LECTOTYPE the male specimen
bearing the following data: ‘S. Domingo, Carabaya, 6000 ft.,

Fauna Estland: 116, by original designation (but cited as

Phalaena amataria Linnaeus, 1761, is an unjustified emen-
dation of Phalaena amata Linnaeus, 1758.

The original description of Phalaena amata Linnaeus, 1758,
Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 524, concluded with a dagger mark;
Linnaeus explained in a footnote on page 613 that the dagger
mark denoted a species of which he had not seen any speci-
men. The description was based on the figures of Wilkes,
[1747-1760], The English Moths and Butterflies: 37, pi. 74,
Cl.l. S.a.5, which were cited as ‘Wilk. pap. 37. t.l.a.5’,and
those of Reaumur, 1736, Mem. Hist. Insectes 2: 385, pi. 29, figs
1-4, which were cited as ‘Reaum. ins. 2. t.29 f. l-4?’,the latter
being cited only doubtfully.

Nordstrom, 1943, Folium Entomologicum {^Festschrift z.60
Geburtstage von F. Bryk): 14-19, discussed the identity of P.
amata and concluded that Wilkes’ figures represented two
species, Phalaena punctaria Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn
10) 1: 522; and Phalaena porata Linnaeus, 1767, Syst. Nat.
(Edn 12) 1 (2): 866. Nordstrom placed P. amata as a junior
subjective synonym of P. punctaria.

Reaumur’s description and figures refer to P. punctaria.

Three years later Linnaeus had acquired a specimen, or
specimens, with pectinate antennae which he believed to be P.
amata: these he described in 1761, Fauna Suecica (Edn 2):
322, as Phalaena amataria and the description was accom-
panied by a reference to the same Wilkes figures that were cited
with the original description of Phalaena amata. The descrip-
tion of P. amataria was repeated in a shortened form by
Linnaeus, 1767, Syst. Nat. (Edn 12) 1 (2): 859, where both the
Wilkes figures and those of Reaumur, referred to in the descrip-
tion of P. amata in 1758, were cited.

Nordstrom, 1943, ibidem: 16, has pointed out that in the
Linnaean system of nomenclature the names of Geometridae
with simple antennae were described as ‘seticornis’ and the
specific names ended with ‘ata’; those with pectinate antennae
were described as ‘pectinicornis’- and the specific names ended
with "aria'. It is thus evident that Phalaena amataria Linnaeus,
1761, is an unjustified emendation and a junior objective syn-
onym of Phalaena amata Linnaeus, 1758.

The specimens which Linnaeus had described as Phalaena
amataria were, however, distinct from Phalaena amata Lin-
naeus, 1758. Phalaena amata Linnaeus, 1758,sensu Linnaeus,
1761 (there described as Phalaena amataria) was then without
a valid name. In a search of the literature the following names
were considered.

Phalaena amataria Donovan, 1793, Nat. Hist. Br. Insects 1:
74, pi. 33, fig. 2 (the spelling adopted from a multiple original

spelling in which Xamatorio was used on page 74, Xamatoria
in the Alphabetical Table of Contents and amataria in the
Index of Specific Names). A junior primary homonym of
Phalaena amataria Linnaeus, 1761, Fauna Suecica (Edn 2):
322, therefore invalid.

Phalaena vibicaria Hufnagel, 1767, Berl. Mag. 4: 514. A
junior primary homonym of [Phalaena] vibicaria Clerck, 1759,
Icon. Insect, rariorum 1: pi. 3, fig. 2, therefore invalid.

2: 270. A junior primary homonym of Phalaena angulata
Hufnagel, 1767, Berl. Mag. 4: 604, therefore invalid.

The first name that can be validly applied to the species
Phalaena amata Linnaeus, 1758, sensu Linnaeus 1761, appears
to be Timandra griseata Petersen, 1902, proposed in the com-
bination Timandra amata griseata Petersen, 1902, Lepid. -

by Westwood as Xot^titoria Linnaeus, an incorrect subsequent
spelling and a misidentification; see under Timandra Dupon-
chel, 1829).

A junior objective synonym of Timandra Duponchel, 1829.

Invalid designation of type-species: Timandra griseata Peter-
sen, 1902, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes
(Spec. gen. Lepid.) 1: 146 (but cited as amataria Linnaeus, a
misidentification; see under Timandra Duponchel, 1829). 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
‘Expose de notre methode’,pages 155-690, no type-species des-
ignation was made for any of the genera that 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 if 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 Boisduval’s 1836 work was well known to lepi-
dopterists, the type-species designations contained in it have not
been accepted, either by Hemming or by other authors. The
acceptance of Boisduval’s type-species designation in this case
would make no difference to the generic concept.

Invalid type-species designation: Phalaena dubitata Lin-
naeus, 1758, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat.
Insectes (Spec. gen. Lepid.) 1: 147. In the Introduction to the
volume, pages i-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications
of Lepidoptera and designated as many as four different type-
species for each generic name. In his ‘Expose de notre meth-
ode’,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 Boisduval’s 1836
work was well known to lepidopterists, the type-species desig-
nations contained in it have not been accepted, either by
Hemming or by other authors. The acceptance of Boisduval’s
type-species designation in this case would make no difference
to the generic concept.
