Preface

In the whole of the Animal Kingdom over 300 000 genus-group names have been proposed and of these nearly
10% have been applied to moths and butterflies. The 25 000 genus-group names of moths have now been catalogued
in the volumes cited below. An index and a supplement of additions and amendments to these six volumes of
the generic names of the moths and also to “The Generic Names of the Butterflies and their Type-species” by
Hemming, F., 1967, Bull. Br. Mus. Nat. Hist. (Ent.) Suppl. 9: 509 pp., is in preparation.

Synopsis

The 5750 genus-group names of the Microlepidoptera are listed alphabetically with their type-species and original
bibliographic references. The means of Fixation of each type-species is given together with the relevant reference.
A list of 390 available family-group names and their original bibliographic references is included.

Introduction

The first and only comprehensive catalogue of genus-group names of the Microlepidoptera was compiled by
T. Bainbrigge Fletcher, Imperial Entomologist to the Government of India, and was published in 1929 as “A
List of the Generic Names used for Microlepidoptera” in the Memoirs of the Department of Agriculture in India
(Entomological Series) 11: pages i-ix, 1-244. This work, long since out of print, covered the 171 years from
1758 to 1929 and contained approximately 3300 genus-group names. Over the past 60 years to the end of 1988
this figure has increased to 5750 available genus-group names included in this present catalogue.

The co-author of the present catalogue, D.S. Fletcher, is not related to T.B. Fletcher.

The aim of this catalogue is closely similar to that defined in the first volume of Generic Names of Moths
of the World and followed in volumes 2, 3 and 4. Following a change of editor the scope and style in volume
5 and in the present volume have been altered in the following respects:

(a) subjective synonymy of genus-group names has been excluded except in some cases of junior homonyms
that have no objective replacement names;

(b) objective replacement names have not been established for junior homonyms having no replacement names;

(c) type-locality and type-specimen information have been excluded;

(d) senior subjective synonyms of type-species have not been cited;

(e) entries have been treated in alphabetical order and cross-referenced to objective synonyms and incorrect
spellings.

The present volume contains the genus-group names of the families cited in the Preface under volume 6, from
1758 up to and including all the relevant names contained in the Zoological Record volume 125 (section 13D,
Lepidoptera) published in December 1989.

Each nomenclaturally available genus-group name has been objectively defined by linking it with its valid type-
species designation determined according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Edition 3) publish-
ed in 1985. Invalid and incorrect designations of type-species that antedate the valid designation are listed and
the reasons for their rejection are given.

Form of Entries

REFERENCES

Titles of journals have been abbreviated as in the World List of Scientific Periodicals (Edition 4), 1963-1965,
and supplements. 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 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 (Edition 3), 1980. 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 Nomenclature (Edition 3), 1985.

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.

Dates of publication given in Sherbom’s Index Animalium and in the Catalogue of Books, Manuscripts, Maps
and Drawings in the British Museum (Natural History) have been adopted, except where bibliographical research
has shown that changes should be made.

UNAVAILABLE NAMES

Unavailable names (names that are not nomenclaturally available under the rules of the Code) are preceded by
a double dagger (t) and reasons for their rejection are given.

Names recorded in Neave, Nomenclator zoologicus as “(pro A-us Author, date)” usually lack positive indica-
tion as to whether the names are misspellings without nomenclatural availability or whether they are emenda-
tions with nomenclatural availability. All such entries have been checked and the correct status given.

I. W. B. NYE & D. S. FLETCHER
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 subjec-
tive synonyms used to replace preoccupied senior synonyms are referred to as subjective replacement names.

Generic names that are junior homonyms have been linked with their objective synonyms. Several generic
homonyms have no objective synonyms but it has been possible to place some of these as subjective synonyms
of other generic names by finding, in each case, a genus whose type-species is considered by authors to be con-
generic with that of the homonymous genus. There remain some for which no replacement name has been found
and for these, further taxonomic research is required before replacement names are proposed.

Misidentified Type-species

Under the Code (Edn 3) Article 70 it is to be assumed that an author has correctly identified the nominal species
that he (1) referred to a new genus when he established 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 misidentified specimens.
Under Article 70 such cases should be referred to the Commission to designate whichever species would promote
nomenclatural stability. The authors of this catalogue have provisionally chosen type-species that they consider
will fulfil this objective.

Alphabetical Catalogue of Family-Group Names

The following alphabetical list of 390 available family-group names is probably far from complete. It has been
compiled from works examined while preparing the genus-group name catalogue with additional family-group
names added from a card index in the Natural History Museum, London, maintained by our colleague Dr J.D.
Bradley and the late Mr N.D. Riley.

The present catalogue of Generic Names of Moths of the World has been abbreviated to G.N.M. W. 6. Flet-
cher 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 1-244, in “A List of the Generic Names used for Microlepidoptera”,
placed the generic names in families and his work has been used as the basis for the present catalogue. In many
cases, however, the current placement differs from that of Fletcher and this has been noted below. The authority
for the transfer has usually been cited under the genus-group name entries of G.N.M. W. 6.

No attempt has been made to include bibliographic information on the synonymy of the family-group names.

Family-group names take the authorship and date of their first establishment at any level. They may then be
used at any other level with changed family-group suffix but retain the original authorship and date:
e.g. Tortricoidea Latreille, [1803], for the superfamiy;

Tortricidae Latreille, [1803], for the family;

Tortricinae Latreille, [1803], for the subfamily;

Tortricini Latreille, [1803], for the tribe;

Tortricina Latreille, [1803], for the subtribe.

In the following list of family-group names the original spelling either of the stem of the name of the type-
genus or of the family-group suffix of each name has been standardized for the main alphabetic margin entry.
When this has been done the original spelling has been included after the family-group name reference.

made freely available to us, by Drs I.F.B. Common and E.S. Nielsen for use in the forthcoming check list of
the Lepidoptera of Australia. We thank Dr Nielsen for making available to us his typescript of the generic names
of the Incurvarioidea for incorporation into this catalogue.

The late Dr J. Kyrki of the University of Oulu, Finland, provided us with information on the Yponomeutidae.
Our colleague Dr J.D. Bradley encouraged us to make full use of an unpublished card catalogue of family-
group names of the Microlepidoptera maintained by him. We are additionally grateful for the advice and help
of our colleagues Dr G.S. Robinson on the Tineidae, Mr K.R.C. Tuck on the Tortricidae and to our librarian,
Miss P. Gilbert.

Technical management of this project and the painstaking preparation of the manuscript for computer typesetting
has been undertaken by Mr Campbell Smith aided by Mr D.T. Goodger, Miss M.A. Tobin and Mr K.R.C. Tuck.

find the original reference of this probably manuscript
name which accordingly should be attributed to Razowski,

Thrincophora Meyrick, 1881, had page precedence over
Acropolitis Meyrick, 1881, but in a later work Meyrick,

1910, Proc. Linn. Soc. N.S.W. 35: 171, placed
Thrincophora as a junior subjective synonym of Acropolitis
and so acted as first reviser within the meaning of the Code
(Edn 3), Article 24. Acropolitis should therefore be used as
the valid name.

sensu Hiibner, [1825], [ = Tortrix viburnana [Denis &
Schiffermuller], 1775, Ankiindung syst. Werkes Schmett.
Wienergegend : 128], by subsequent designation by Fernald,
1908, Genera Tortricidae Types : 15, 53.

The type-species was included by Hiibner as “Rhombana
Schiff. Verz. Tort.D.7. Hiibn. Tort. 173.” and cited by
Fernald as “ rombana Hb. ( viburnana F.)” i.e. Tortrix
rhombana as used by Hiibner, 1799, Samml. eur. Schmett.
7: pi. 27 fig. 173, and by Hiibner, [1825]. These usages were
misidentifications of Tortrix rhombana [Denis &
Schiffermuller] , 1775, ibidem: 128.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Amelia Hiibner, [1825],
the nominal species actually involved, namely Tortrix
viburnana [Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775.

If the Commission were to act as suggested then Amelia
Hiibner, [1825], and Aphelia Hiibner, [1825], would be
objective synonyms. Both of them were proposed by
Hiibner on the same page and so the name to be given
precedence should be determined by the Principle of the
First Reviser. Due to the usage of Amelia in association
with either rhombana or viburnana this Principle is difficult
to apply so the Commission should also be asked to give
precedence to Aphelia on the basis of its current general
usage as a valid name in both the Old and New World.

cent. -am. (Zool.) Lepid. -Heterocera 4: 158 (but cited as
griseana Fabricius; see below).

When Antaeotricha was established, Zeller included
walchiana Stoll, and placed in its synonymy griseanum
Fabricius sensu Zeller, 1839, and “1 Pyralis griseana
Fabricius”. Becker, 1984, Revta bras. Ent. 28: 134, 171, has
shown that Pyralis griseana Fabricius, 1794, Ent. Syst. 3 (2):
265, is a junior subjective synonym of Phalaena walchiana
Stoll and that griseanum sensu Zeller, 1839 and 1854, were
correct identifications of griseana Fabricius. When Wals-
ingham designated as type-species Pyralis griseana Fabricius,
1794, a nominal species only doubtfully included in An-
taeotricha, he also on the same line placed “ walchiana Zeller,
1854” as a synonym of griseana, but “walchiana Zeller, 1854”
was not a misidentification and should be treated as an in-
correct authorship of walchiana Cramer, one of the nominal
species originally included in Antaeotricha.

ANTITHESIA Stephens, 1829 [June], Nom. Br. Insects:
46. TORT [OLETH]

Type-species: Tortrix corticana [Denis & Schiffermiiller]
sensu Hiibner, [1799], [= Apotomis turbidana Hiibner,
[1825] 1816, Verz. bekannter Schmett.: 380], by subsequent
designation by Westwood, 1840, In trod. mod. Classif.
Insects 2 (Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 107 (as “T.
corticana Hb.”).

The type-species was included by Stephens as “ corticana ,
Hub.” i.e., Tortrix corticana as used by Hiibner, [1799],
Samml. eur. Schmett. 7: pi. 3 fig. 13. Hiibner, [1825],
realized that his [1799] usage of corticana was a
misidentification and he established A. turbidana to denote
that taxon.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Antithesia Stephens,
1829, the nominal species actually involved namely
Apotomis turbidana Hiibner, [1825].

Unavailable designation of type-species: Tortrix corticana
was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes
(Spec. g£n. Ldpid.) 1: 148. In his Introduction to the
volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Expose
de notre M^thode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-

species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

Antithesia was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July],
Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 172, and by Stephens, 1834,

Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 530, by subsequent designation by
Meyrick, 1913, in Wytsman, Genera Insect. 149: 23.

When Meyrick designated as type-species Phalaena
piceana Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 531, a
nominal species not originally included in Archips, he also
(lower on the same page) placed “ oporana Hiibner” an
incorrect authorship of a nominal species originally included
in Archips , as a junior subjective synonym of piceana.
Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this designation
constitutes the fixation of the originally included nominal
species as the type-species.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Phalaena piceana
Linnaeus, 1758, a nominal species not originally included
in Archips , and not linked in synonymy with one of the
originally included nominal species when cited by
Walsingham, 1897, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1897: 133, and

Bradley, 1966, Entomologist’s Gaz. 17: 229, has selected
lectotypes for Phalaena oporana and for Phalaena piceana
and considers that they are conspecific.

Invalid designation of type-species: Phalaena xylosteana

The type-species was included by Stephens as lediana
Linnaeus and included an abbreviated reference to
Stephens, 1829, Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 176, where
Stephens equated the Linnaean name to its usage by
Haworth. P. lediana Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10)

Obraztsov, 1965, Tijdschr. Ent. 108: 383, in his revision
of Palaearctic Tortricidae has followed earlier authors in
treating P. solandriana Linnaeus sensu Treitschke, 1829, as
a misidentification of a species that should have been
identified as P. uddmanniana Linnaeus.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a

Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of

to designate as the type-species of Aspis Treitschke, the

A junior homonym of Atychia Ochsenheimer, 1808,
Schmett. Eur. 2: 10, - Lepid., Zygaenidae, Chalcosiinae.
There is no objective replacement name but S. chimaera is
congeneric with Pyralis saldonana Fabricius, 1787, the type-
species of Procerata Berthold, 1827; the latter is thus
available for use as a subjective replacement name.

S. chimaera is a junior subjective replacement name of
Sphinx appendiculata Esper, 1783, Die Schmett. 2
(Fortsetz.): 227, pl.35 figs 5, 6, a synonymy established by
Hiibner, 1796, ibidem 2: 11.

Hiibner omitted the figure of S. chimaera from the
second edition of plate 1 [1803-1806].

Neave, 1939, Nomencl. zool. 1: 354, linked Atychia
Latreille, 1809, with Bradyptesis Sodoffsky, 1837. This was
an error as Bradyptesis was established as an objective
replacement name for Atychia Ochsenheimer, 1808, -
Lepid., Zygaenidae.

The type-species designations of Latreille, 1810, were
accepted by the International Commission on Zoological
Nomenclature, 1939, Opin. Decl. int. Commn zool. Nom.

Sattler & Tremewan, 1978, Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist.
(Ent.) 37: 87, have stated that this is a case of a
misidentified type-species and on page 83 have given a
detailed synonmy of C. benanderi. Under the Code (Edn 3),
Article 70(b), such a case is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We agree with Sattler & Tremewan in
suggesting that the Commission be asked to designate as the
type-species of Aureliania CSpuse the nominal species
actually involved, namely Coleophora benanderi Kanerva,
1941.

A junior homonym of Aureliania Gosse, 1860,
Actinologia Br.: 282, - Coelenterata. There is no objective
replacement name but Sattler & Tremewan, 1974, ibidem
30: 201; and 1978, ibidem 37: 87, considered Aureliania
Capuse, 1971, to be a junior subjective synonym of
Coleophora Hiibner, 1 822; the latter is thus available for
use as a subjective replacement name.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a

The designation by Duponchel is available as a type-
species fixation as it is contained in the continuation of a
layout in which Duponchel stated, in the same work 7 (2):
102, that the species so cited were the types of genera.

The type-species was included by Duponchel as Chalybe
pyraustella, an unjustified emendation of and a junior
objective synonym of Phalaena pyrausta Pallas, 1771.
Sattler, 1976, Microlepid. Palaearct. 2: 37, treated P.
pyrausta Pallas sensu Duponchel, 1837, and Chalybe
pyraustella Duponchel, 1837, as misidentifications of a
species that should have been identified as Tinea aurifluella
Hiibner, [1810]. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the
case of a misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”.

P. ratzeburgiana was attributed to Saxesen by Ratzeburg.

subsequent designation by Sattler, 1973, Bull. Br. Mus. nat.
Hist. (Ent.) 28: 184.

The type-species was included by Bruand as
“ hermannella F.” and cited by Sattler as Tinea hermannella
Fabricius, 1781, Species Insect. 2: 509. Karsholt & Nielsen,
1976, Entomologica scand. 7: 245, 246, designated a
lectotype for T. hermannella Fabricius and stated that the
name has generally been misidentified and used in the
Gelechiidae but should have been treated as a junior
subjective synonym of Phalaena schaefferella Linnaeus,
1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 541, the type-species of
Sch ifferm uelleria Hiibner, [1825], in the Oecophoridae.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We agree with Karsholt & Nielsen (loc. cit.)
that the Commission be asked to designate as the type-
species of Chrysia Bruand the nominal species actually
involved, namely Tinea drurella Fabricius, 1775.

The dates of the parts of Bruand’s work have been

283-288.

erxlebella Fabricius in synonmy. Under the Code (Edn 3),
Article 67(d), the type-species “is deemed to have been cited
in its correct original spelling”. Adela chrysitella Treitschke,
1833, a tautonym of Chrysitella Zeller, was also placed as
a synonym of erxlebeniella. Under the Code (Edn 3),
Article 68, fixation of the type-species by monotypy takes
precedence over fixation by tautonymy.

CHR YSOES THIA Hubner, [1825] 1816, Verz. bekannter

Type-species: Tinea zinckenella Hubner, [1813], Samml
eur. Schmett. 8: pi. 59 figs 401, 402, (as tzinckeella, an
incorrect original spelling), by subsequent designation by
Meyrick, 1925, in Wytsman, Genera Insect. 184: 40 (but
cited as hermannella Fabricius).

T. zinckenella was originally proposed as “ zinckeela ” but
was altered in the Verz. bekannter Schmett to zinckenella.
As there is no doubt that the type-species was named after
the entomologist Zincken and as the spelling zinckenella has
been generally used, we follow Sattler, 1973, Bull. Br. Mus.
nat. Hist. (Ent.) 28: 184, and treat zinckenella as a justified
emendation.

When Meyrick designated as type-species Tinea
hermannella Fabricius, 1781, Species Insect. 2: 509, a
nominal species not originally included in Chrysoesthia, he
also, on page 47, placed zinckenella, a nominal species
originally included in Chrysoesthia as a junior synonym of
hermannella. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this
designation constitutes the fixation of the originally
included nominal species as the type-species.

Invalid designation of the type-species: Phalaena roesella
Linnaeus, 1758, was designated by Fletcher, 1929, Mem.
Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 184, who accordingly included
Chrysoesthia in the “Schreckensteiniadae”.

[= Tortrix pasiuana Hiibner, [1799], Samml. eur. Schmett.
1: pi. 16 fig.99], by original designation.

The type-species was included by Curtis as “ Tortrix
Logiana Linn.” as used by Haworth, 1811, Lepid. Br.: 464,
who placed T. pasiuana Hiibner as a junior synonym of
“ Phalaena (Tortrix) Logiana Lin.” i.e., Phalaena logiana
Clerck, 1759. The latter, however, denotes a species
different from pasiuana Hiibner which is the valid name for
the taxon illustrated by Curtis. This case has been discussed
fully by Obraztsov, 1966, Entomologist’s Gaz. 17: 141-144.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Cnephasia Curtis, the
nominal species actually involved, namely Tortrix pasiuana
Hiibner, [1799].

Unavailable designations of type-species: (1) Tortrix
turionana Hiibner, [1813], a nominal species not originally
included in Coccyx, and not linked in synonymy with one
of the originally included nominal species when designated
by Duponchel, 1834, in Godart & Duponchel, Hist. nat.
Lipid. Papillons Fr. 9: 21. On page 233 (not published until
1835) Duponchel placed turionana as the valid name for
resinella sensu Curtis, a misidentification. The nominal
species Tortrix resinana Hiibner, [1799], originally included
in Coccyx is, however, treated as a different species on page
237.

(2) Tortrix turionana Hiibner, [1813], a nominal species
not originally included in Coccyx, and not linked in
synonmy with one of the originally included nominal species
when designated by Blanchard, 1840, in Castelnau, Hist,
nat. Anim. articulis (Insectes) 3: 545.

(3) Pyralis resinana Fabricius, 1775, was designated by
Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n, L£pid.) 1:
137. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154,
Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera
and designated up to three different type-species for each
generic name. In his “Expose de notre Mdthode”, pages
155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of
the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article
69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible
for consideration if he states that it is the type ”... and if
it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted by Hemming or by other authors. The
acceptance of Boisduval’s type-species designation in this
case would result in Coccyx replacing Petrova Heinrich,
1923, as the generic name for Phalaena resinella Linnaeus,
1758; and Cydia (Pseudotomoides Obraztsov, 1959)
replacing Coccyx as the subgeneric name for Phalana
strobilella Linnaeus, 1758.

Invalid designation of type-species: Tortrix piceana
Hiibner, [1799], was designated by Fernald, 1908, Genera
Tortricidae Types : 19; either piceana or one of its senior
subjective synonyms Phalaena tedella Clerck, 1759, or
Tortrix comitana Denis & Schiffermiiller, 1775, has been
accepted as the type-species by some authors.

I. W. B. NYE & D. S. FLETCHER

Unavailable designation of type-species Tinea cuspidella
[Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, was designated by
Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n. L6pid.) 1:
138. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154,
Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera
and designated as many as three different type-species for
each generic name. In his “Expos6 de notre M&hode”,
pages 155-690, no type-species designation was made for
any of the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3),
Article 69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author
is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type ”.

. . and if it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-
species”. Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly
stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are
unavailable. Even though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-
known to lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in
it have not been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal

The citation by Duponchel is available as a type-species
designation as it is contained in the continuation of a layout
in which Duponchel stated, in the same work 7(2): 102, that
the species so cited were the types of genera.

Unavailable designation of type-species: T. aemulella was
designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec.
g£n. L6pid.) 1: 149. In the Introduction to the volume,
pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of
Lepidoptera and designated up to three different type-
species for each generic name. In his “Expose de notre
M&hode”, pages 155-690, no type-species designation was
made for any of the genera he himself used. Under the
Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-species designation
of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it
is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the author accepts it
as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-designations,
although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement
and so are unavailable. Even though Boisduval’s 1836 work
was well-known to lepidopterists, the type-designations
contained in it have not been accepted by Hemming or by
other authors.

Invalid designation of type-species: Alucita sulphurella
Fabricius, 1775, was designated by Fletcher, 1929, Mem.
Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 64, and has been accepted as

Depressaria heraclei Haworth, 1811, ibidem : 505, was an
unjustified emendation of Phalaena (Tortrix) heracliana
Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 532, but included by
Haworth in Depressaria and designated by Curtis as
X heracleana Fabricius (first used as Pyralis X heracleana
Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent.: 655) an incorrect subsequent
spelling. Bradley, 1966, Entomologist’s Gaz. 17: 225, 226,
designated a lectotype for P. heracliana Linnaeus and
pointed out that P. heracliana Linnaeus sensu Haworth was
a misidentification of a species that was later named as
Haemilis pastinacella Duponchel, 1838. Under the Code

The Code (Edn 3), Article 68(b)(i), states that the
formula “gen. n., sp. n.”, or its equivalent, applied before
1931 to only one of two or more new nominal species
included in a newly established nominal genus or subgenus,
is deemed to be an original designation if no other type-
species was designated. As Depressarites was published after
1930 and there was no other type-species designated the

name is technically unavailable. However, it would be
pedantic and serve no useful purpose to rename this fossil
taxon so Depressarites Rebel, 1936, is here treated as an
available name which the Commission would almost
certainly ratify if asked to do so.

Type-species: Grapholitha plumbagana Treitschke, 1830,
in Ochsenheimer, Schmett. Eur. 8: 218, by subsequent
designation by Fernald, 1908, Genera Tortricidae Types: 33,
56.

The first available designation of type-species (for
\Dichrorhampha, an incorrect subsequent spelling) was
made by Desmarest, 1857, in Chenu, Encycl. Hist. nat.
(Papillons nocturnes): 224, who cited “ politana , W.V.”
i.e., Tortrix politana [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775,
Ankiindung syst. Werkes Schmett. Wienergegend : 129. T.
politana was an originally included nominal species in
Dichrorampha, but Obraztsov has established
Dichrorampha gueneeana Obraztsov, 1953, Mitt, munch,
ent. Ges. 43: 78, fig. 35, to denote the species that Guen6e,
1845, and other authors have misidentified as T. politana.
Thus the First and valid designation, by Desmarest, is a
misidentification and under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b),
such a case is to be referred to the Commission to fix as the
type-species whichever nominal species will “best serve
stability and universality of nomenclature”. Ever since
1908, Fernald’s designation has been accepted and we
therefore suggest that the Commission be asked to set aside
the designation by Desmarest, 1857, and so to validate
plumbagana as the type-species of Dichrorampha.

Linnaeus was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat.
Insectes (Spec. g£n. L6pid.) 1: 149. In the Introduction to
the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Expose
de notre Mdthode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(aXiv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration

if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

Type-species: Tortrix angustiorana Haworth, 1811, Lepid

Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 69.

Unavailable designations of type-species: (1) Tortrix
sylvana Hiibner, [1799], was designated by Boisduval, 1836,
Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n. L£pid.) 1: 148. In the
Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval
reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and
designated up to three different type-species for each generic
name. In his “Expose de notre M&hode”, pages 155-690,
no type-species designation was made for any of the genera
he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv),
the type-species designation of an author is eligible for
consideration if he states that it is the type “. . . and if it
is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduvai’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

(2) Tortrix profundana [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775,
a nominal species not originally included in Ditula, and not
linked in synonmy with one of the originally included
nominal species when cited by Westwood, 1840. Introd.
mod. Classif. Insects 2 (Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 107.

(3) Phalaena hartmanniana Clerck, 1759, a nominal
species not originally included in Ditula, and not linked in
synonmy with one of the originally included nominal species
when cited by Desmarest, 1857, in Chenu, Encycl. Hist,
nat. (Papillons nocturnes): 223 (as \harmaniana , an
incorrect subsequent spelling).

(4) Tortrix profundana [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775,
a nominal species not originally included in Ditula, was
linked in synonmy with Five (not one) of the originally
included nominal species when cited by Fernald, 1908,
Genera Tortricidae Types: 22, 57.

(5) Walsingham, 1913, Biologia cent. -am. (Zool.) Lepid.-
Heterocera 4: 211, also cited T. profundana, not T.
angustiorana as stated by Razowski, 1977, Acta zool.
cracov. 22: 234, under %Diluta, an incorrect subsequent
spelling.

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

Ent. (Haustellata) 4: 82.

Type-species: Tinea fagella [Denis & Schiffermiiller],

135, by subsequent designation by Duponchel, 1838, in
Godart & Duponchel, Hist. nat. Ltpid. Papillons Fr. 11:
10.

The type-species was included by Haworth as fagi with
T. fagella placed in its synonmy. Diumea fagi Haworth,
1811, ibidem: 501, was therefore an unjustified emendation
of T. fagella.

The designation by Duponchel is acceptable as a type-
species fixation as it is contained in the continuation of a
layout in which Duponchel stated, in the same work 7 (2):
102, that the species so cited were the types of genera.

by Fernald, 1908, Genera Tortricidae Types: 13. Other
authors such as Fletcher, 1929, Obraztsov, 1955 and
Razowski, 1977, have also designated hastiana without

DESIGNATION.

T. cerasifoliella is currently placed as a junior subjective
synonym of Phalaena clerkella Linnaeus, 1758, the type-
species of Lyonetia Hiibner, [1825].

Elachista was a Treitschke manuscript name, obtained from
a copy of Treitschke’s unpublished manuscript (see Kollar,
1832, ibidem 2: 2), and made nomenclaturally available by
Kollar before the genus was described and named by
Treitschke, 1833, in Ochsenheimer, Schmett. Eur. 9 (2): 177.

In order to conserve the existing usage of Elachista
Treitschke, 1833, and Elachistidae Bruand, 1850, in their
universally accepted sense, an application has been
submitted to the International Commission on Zoological
Nomenclature by Nielsen & Nye, 1988, Bull. zool. Nom. 45:
28, asking it to suppress the name Elachista Kollar, 1832,
for the purposes of both the Principle of Priority and the
Principle of Homonymy.

with his argument as Endothenia is available under the

an available species-group name clearly included under it as

When Walsingham & Durrant designated as type-species
Tinea lactella, a nominal species not originally included in
Endrosis they also placed “betulinella Hb.”, a name
originally included in Endrosis, as a synonym of lactella.
Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), as “ betulinella Hb.”
is a misidentified type-species, the case is to be referred to
the Commission to fix as the type-species whichever
nominal species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Endrosis the nominal
species actually involved, namely Tinea lactella [Denis &

Duponchel, 1838, in Godart & Duponchel, Hist. nat. L4pid.
Papillons Fr. 11: 23.

The citation by Duponchel is acceptable as a type-species
designation as it is contained in the continuation of a layout
in which Duponchel stated, in the same work 7 (2): 102,
that the species so cited were the types of genera.

Unavailable designation of type-species: P. geof/rella was
designated (as geoffroyella) by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat.
Insectes (Spec. g^n. L£pid.) 1: 149. In the Introduction to
the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Expose
de notre M&hode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

Invalid designations of type-species: Pyralis tunbergiana
Fabricius, 1781, was designated (as thunbergana) by
Westwood, 1840, Introd. mod. Classif. Insects 2 (Synopsis
Genera Br. Insects): 110, and Tinea lobelia [Denis &
Schiffermiiller], 1775, was designated by Fletcher, 1929,

The type-species was included by Duponchel as “E. dor-
sana”, i.e., Pyralis dorsana Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent.: 654.
Leraut, 1980, Liste syst. syn. Lipid. Fr. Belg. Corse: 98,
placed “ dorsana sensu Duponchel” as a misidentification
of jungiella Clerck, originally spelt as t iungiella but altered
to jungiella in a later part of the same work. The latter spell-
ing is in general current use and is treated here as a justified
emendation of an incorrect original spelling.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the Commis-
sion to fix as the type-species whichever nominal species will
“best serve stability and universality of nomenclature”. We
suggest that the Commission be asked to designate as the
type-species of Ephippiphora the nominal species actually
involved, namely Phalaena jungiella Clerck, 1759.

Type-species: Phalaena avellanella Hiibner, 1793, Samml
auserlesener Vogel u. Schmett. .. . : 12, pl.65, by subsequent
designation by Duponchel, 1838, in Godart & Duponchel,

Hist. nat. L4pid. Papillons Fr. 11: 11.

The citation by Duponchel is acceptable as a type-species
designation as it is contained in the continuation of a layout
in which Duponchel stated, in the same work 7 (2): 102, that
the species so cited were the types of genera.

Unavailable designation of type-species: P. avellanella was
designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g6n.
L6pid.) 1: 150. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-
154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera
and designated up to three different type-species for each
generic name. In his “Expose de notre M6thode”, pages
155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of
the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Arti-
cle 69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligi-
ble for consideration if he states that it is the type ”... and
if it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

The Code (Edn 3), Article 68(b)(i), states that the formula
“gen.n., sp.n.”, or its equivalent, applied before 1931 to
only one of two or more new nominal species included in
a newly established nominal genus or subgenus, is deemed
to be an original designation if no other type-species was
designated. This was the case with Epinomeuta but as it was
published after 1930 and there was no other type-species
designated the name is technically unavailable. However, it
would be pedantic and serve no useful purpose to rename
this fossil taxon so Epinomeuta Rebel, 1936, is here treated
as an available name which the Commission would almost
certainly ratify if asked to do so.

The type-species was included by Hiibner, as “Ethmia
Pyrausta Pall. Reis. I. Anh. 20”. Sattler, 1976, in Amsel
et al., Microlepid. Palaearctica 2: 37, treated P. pyrausta
Pallas sensu Hiibner as a misidentification of a species that
should have been identified as T. aurifluella Hiibner,
[1810]. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of
a misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Ethmia Hiibner the
nominal species actually involved, namely Tinea aurifluella
Hiibner, [1810].

T. purpurana Haworth, 1811, is a junior primary
homonym of Tortrix purpurana Thunberg, 1784, Diss. ent.
sistens Insecta Suecia (1): 19. Rebel, 1901, in Staudinger &

Sciaphila rosaceana Schlager, 1847, Ber. lepidopt. Tausch-
Ver. 1847: 229, as a junior subjective synonym of
purpurana Haworth. S. rosaceana is thus available for use
as a subjective replacement name.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Pyralis sponsana
Fabricius, 1787, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist,
nat. Insectes (Spec. g6n. L6pid.) 1: 149. In the Introduction
to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three dif-
ferent type-species for each generic name. In his “Expose de
notre M6thode”, pages 155-690, no type-species designa-
tion was made for any of the genera he himself used. Under
the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(aXiv), the type-species designation
of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it
is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the author accepts it
as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-designations, although
clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are
unavailable. Even though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-
known to lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in

it have not been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

A junior homonym of Euchromia Hubner, [1819] 1816,
Verz. bekannter Schmett.: 121, -Lepid., Ctenuchidae.
There is no objective replacement name but Bradley, 1972,
in Kloet & Hincks, Handbks Ident. Br. Insects 11 (2): 33,
placed Euchromia Stephens as a synonym of Celypha
Hubner, [1825], and used the latter as a subjective
replacement name.

Euchromia was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July],
Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 183, and again by Stephens, 1834,

Unavailable designation of type-species: T. angustana
Hiibner was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat.
Insectes (Spec. g^n. L£pid.) 1: 149. In the Introduction to
the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Expose
de notre M^thode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1 836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

ibidem 3: 24, figs 489, 490, by subsequent designation by
Grote, 1874, Bull. Buffalo Soc. nat. Sci. 2: 152.

A different species, also from North America but in the
Pyralidae, had earlier been named in a new genus and
species on the corresponding page of the previous volume
and had an almost identical binomen i.e. Eustixia pupula
Hiibner, 1823, ibidem 2: 24, currently accepted as its valid
name. Ever since Barnes & McDunnough, 1917, Check List
Lepid. boreal Am.: 184, the species in the Yponomeutidae
has been known as Lactura pupula (Hiibner, [1831]).

If Eustixis Hiibner, [1831], is accepted as a
nomenclaturally available name then it is senior to and must
be used instead of Lactura Walker, 1854. If Eustixis
Hiibner, [1831], is treated as an incorrect subsequent
spelling of Eustixia Hiibner, 1823, then E. pupula Hiibner,
[1831], is a primary homonym of Eustixis pupula Hiibner,
1823, and must not be used as a valid name. To retain
stability Eustixis should be treated as an unused senior
synonym (for over 70 years) and a case for its conditional
supression submitted to the Commission under the Code
(Edn 3), Article 79(c).

The late J. Kyrki of Finland had informed us that he
intended to transfer Eustixis to the Zygaenidae Phaudinae.

Hiibner originally included in Rhyacionia Hiibner,
[1825], a species cited as "Rhyacionia Hastana Linn.
Syst.Phal.311. Hiibn.Tor.186.” thus showing that Tortrix
hastana Hiibner, was an incorrect subsequent spelling of
Phalaena hastiana Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1:
532. However, ever since Herrich-Schaffer, 1851, Syst.
Bearbeitung Schmett. Eur. 4: 149, 206, it has been known
that Hiibner misidentified hastiana Linnaeus, and Tortrix
hastana Hiibner has been used to denote a different species
in a different subfamily.

To maintain general current usage of T. hastana Hiibner
and of Rhyacionia Hiibner, [1825], a case should be
submitted to the Commission asking them to rule (1) that
Tortrix hastana Hiibner, 1799, be treated as a
nomenclaturally available name denoting a taxon different

from that denoted by Phalaena hastiana Linnaeus, 1758;
and (2) that the type-species of Rhyacionia be fixed in

Type-species: Tinea nitidella Hiibner, 17%, Samml. eur.
Schmett. 8: 15, pl.l fig.6, by subsequent designation by
Kirby, 1892, Synonymic Cat. Lepid. Heterocera 1: 523 (but
cited for Fumea as casta Pallas).

Kirby designated casta Pallas for “ Fumea Stephens” but
Stephens attributed Fumea to Haworth and was using
Fumea Haworth, 1812, an objective replacement name for
Fumaria Haworth, 1811.

When Kirby designated as type-species Phalaena casta
Pallas, 1767, Nova Acta physico-med. Acad. Caesar. Leop.
Carol. 3: 437, a nominal species not originally included in
Fumaria, he also placed nitidella, a nominal species
originally included in Fumaria, as a junior subjective
synonym of casta. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v),
this designation constitutes the fixation of the originally
included nominal species as the type-species.

In addition to using Fumea as a valid name Kirby, 1892,
ibidem 1: 511, also used Fumaria Haworth, 1811, as a valid
name for a different taxon and designated as its type-species
“ Bombyx muscella Fabr.” which was a later usage of Tinea
muscella [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, Ankiindung syst.
Werkes Schmett. Wienergegend: 133. However the true
muscella does not occur in Britain and Tutt, 1900, Nat.
Hist. Br. Lepid. 2: 317, considered that the Haworth species
was probably Phalaena pulla Esper, 1785, which is a junior
subjective synonym of Tinea plumella [Denis &
Schiffermiiller], 1775, the type-species of Epichnopterix
Hiibner, [1825]. The Kirby designation for Fumaria is of a
misidentified species and is therefore invalid unless ratified
by the Commission.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Phalaena pulla
Esper, 1785, a nominal species not originally included in
Fumaria and not linked in synonymy with one of the

Unavailable designation of type-species: Tortrix
effractana Hiibner, [1799], was designated by Boisduval,
1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n. L6pid.) 1: 149. In the
Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval
reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and
designated up to three different type-species for each generic
name. In his “Expos6 de notre M&hode”, pages 155-690,
no type-species designation was made for any of the genera
he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv),
the type-species designation of an author is eligible for
consideration if he states that it is the type ”... and if it
is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not

1829, [= Tortrix lunulana [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775,
Ankiindung syst. Werkes Schmett. Wienergegend : 127], by
subsequent designation by Walsingham, 1895, Trans, ent.
Soc. Lond. 1895: 517.

The type-species was included by Treitschke as
“ Dorsana , Hiibn. [fig.]36” and designated by Walsingham
as “ dorsana , F.” i.e., Pyralis dorsana Fabricius, 1775, Syst.
Ent.: 654. Karsholt & Nielsen, 1976, Entomologica scand.
7: 249, designated a lectotype for P. dorsana Fabricius and
indicated that the name has generally been misidentified and
used as valid in the genus Cydia Hiibner, [1825], but should
have been treated as a junior subjective synonym of
Phalaena petiverella Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1:
540, in the genus Dichrorampha Guen£e, 1845.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We agree with Karsholt & Nielsen (loc. cit.)
that the Commission be asked to designate as the type-
species of Grapholita the nominal species actually involved,
namely Tortrix lunulana [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775.

Unavailable designations of type-species: (1) Tortrix
petrana Hiibner, [1813], a nominal species not originally
included in Grapholita, and not linked with one of the
originally included nominal species when designated by
Duponchel, 1834, in Godaxt & Duponchel, Hist. nat. Lgpid.
Papillons Fr. 9: 22.

(2) Phalaena nisella Clerck, 1759 (but cited as “ nisana ,
Linn£e”, an unjustified emendation), a nominal species not
originally included in Grapholita , and not linked with one
of the originally included nominal species when designated
by Desmarest, 1857, in Chenu, Encycl. Hist. nat. (Papillons
nocturnes): 224.

(3) Tortrix pupillana Hiibner, [1799], was designated by
Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g6n. Lipid.) 1:
137. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154,
Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera
and designated as many as three different type-species for
each generic name. In his “Exposi de notre Mithode”,
pages 155-690, no type-species designation was made for
any of the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3),
Article 69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author
is eligible for consideration if he states that it is the type
“ . . . and if it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-
species”. Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly
stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are
unavailable. Even though BoisduvaFs 1836 work was well-
known to lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in
it have not been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

British species as hybridana Hiibner. But the true hybridana
does not occur in Britain. Obraztsov, 1956, Tijdschr. Ent.

a misidentification of a species that should have been
identified as rectifasciana Haworth, 1811. Under the Code
(Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a misidentified type-
species is to be referred to the Commission to fix as the
type-species whichever nominal species will “best serve

the Commission be asked to designate as the type-species
of Isotrias Meyrick, the nominal species actually involved,

praelatella [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, was designated
by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n. L£pid.)
1: 150. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154,
Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera
and designated up to three different type-species for each
generic name. In his “Exposd de notre M£thode”, pages
155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of
the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article
69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible
for consideration if he states that it is the type “. . . and if
it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

Authors have cited Walsingham, 1897, Proc. zool. Soc.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Tinea fagella
[Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, was designated by
Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gin. Lgpid.) 1:
137. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154,
Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera
and designated up to three different type-species for each
generic name. In his “Expose de notre Mdthode”, pages
155-690, no type-species designation was made for any
genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article
69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible
for consideration if he states that it is the type “. . .and if
it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

objective replacement name for Scioptera Rambur, 1866.
Dalla Torre believed that Scioptera Rambur, 1866, was
preoccupied by t Scioptera Westwood, 1840, In trod. mod.
Classif. Insects 2 (Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 149, -
Insecta, Diptera. But Westwood cited “Scioptera Kirby”
which is an incorrect subsequent spelling of Seioptera Kirby,
1817, in Kirby & Spence, Introd. Ent. 2: 305.

Lepidoscioptera was again proposed by Dalla Torre,
1920, Int. ent. Z. 14: 56, as an objective replacement name

The citation by Duponchel is acceptable as a type-species
designation as it is contained in the continuation of a layout
in which Duponchel stated in the same work, 7 (2): 102,
that the species so cited were the types of genera.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Phalaena vittella
Linnaeus, 1758, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist,
nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n. L^pid.) 1: 138. In the Introduction
to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Expos6
de notre Mdthode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
BoisduvaPs 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

Insect, rariorum 1: pl.3 fig.15, by subsequent designation
by Westwood, 1840, Introd. mod. Classif. Insects 2
(Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 1 10.

Unavailable designations of type-species: (1)/*. bicostella
was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes
(Spec. g6n. L6pid.) 1: 149. In the Introduction to the
volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Exposd
de notre M6thode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type ”... and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

(2 )Tinea rostrella Hiibner, 1796, a nominal species not
originally included in Macrochila, and not linked in
synonymy with one of the originally included nominal
species when cited by Duponchel, 1838, in Godart &

Macrochila was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July],
Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 199, and by Stephens, 1834,

Samml. eur. Schmett. 7: pi. 1 fig. 3, by subsequent
designation by Heppner, 1978, Pan-Pacif. Ent. 54: 159 (but
cited as Asopia incisalis Treitschke, 1828, in Ochsenheimer,
Schmett. Eur. 6 (2): 317).

Macropia was established to denote a subgenus of Asopia
Treitschke, 1828. Costa did not list any originally included
species by name but noted that all the species of
Treitschke’s Asopia Fam.B belonged in the new subgenus.

182

I. W. B. NYE & D. S. FLETCHER

The third species in Fam.B was cited by Treitschke as
incisalis with Tortrix nemorana Hiibner, [1799], placed in
synonymy. Following the custom at that time, Treitschke
made all valid species names of the group end in - alis ; the
second species in Fam.B was Pyralis memoralis Hiibner,
[1796]. Treitschke could not emend T. nemorana to
nemoralis as it would have become a homonym, he
therefore replaced nemorana with incisalis. A. incisalis is
thus a junior objective synonym of T. nemorana. Under the
Code (Edn 2), Article 67(e), the senior objective synonym
is to be cited as the name of the type-species and this was
done in the Macropia Costa entry in Generic Names Moths
World 4: 95. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 67(d), it
could be argued that Asopia incisalis should now be cited,
but as the latter is merely an unnecessary replacement name
it makes no taxonomic difference.

Megaceraea was proposed after 1930 and was not
accompanied by the Fixation of a type-species. Thus under
the Code (Edn 3), Article 13(b), the name is technically

Fletcher, 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 135.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Tinea echiella
[Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, was designated by
Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n. L6pid.) 1:
150. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154,
Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera

and designated up to three different type-species for each
generic name. In his “Expose de notre Mithode”, pages
155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of
the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article
69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible
for consideration if he states that it is the type ”... and
if it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

Some authors when citing the type-species have attributed
its fixation to Westwood, 1840, Introd. mod. Classif.
Insects 2 (Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 111, on the basis
of Melanoleuca being placed as a junior synonym of
Anesychia Hiibner, [1825], for which the type was
designated. This is not an acceptable method of fixation
under the Code.

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

Melanoleuca was again proposed by Stephens, 1829
[July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 202.

E. ciliaris was established by Ochsenheimer to denote the
taxon represented by fig. 216 of Bombyx lugubris Hiibner,
[1808], Samml. eur. Schmett. 3: pi. 51 figs 216, 217.
Ochsenheimer, 1808, Schmett. Eur. 2: 7, placed fig. 217 as
Chimaera lugubris (Hiibner). Boisduval, 1840, established
Melasina for ciliaris Ochsenheimer and placed lugubris
Hiibner fig. 216 in its synonymy. In a footnote on page 57
Boisduval referred to page 78 on which he used Typhonia
Boisduval, 1834, for lugubris Hiibner fig. 217.

In his monotypic genus Malasina, Boisduval used ciliaris
as the valid name for the included species and so this must
be the nominal type-species and not Bombyx lugubris
Hiibner cited by Fletcher, 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India
(Ent.) 11: 135, and other authors, even though ciliaris and
lugubris are currently considered to be conspecific.

Type-species: Phalaena stipella Linnaeus sensu Hiibner,

Insecta Suecica (7): 88, fig.6], by subsequent designation by
Westwood, 1840, Introd. mod. Classif. Insects 2 (Synopsis
Genera Br. Insects): 112.

The type-species was included by Stephens as “ Stipella ,
Hub.” and cited by Westwood as “T. Stipella Hubn.” i.e.,
Tinea stipella as used by Hiibner, 1796, Samml. eur.
Schmett. 8: 57, pl.20 fig. 138, which was a misidentification
of Phalaena stipella Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1:
539, - Oecophoridae. Benander, 1946, Opusc. ent. 11: 44,
78, treated “P. stipella Hb.” as a junior synonym of T.
sexguttella Thunberg. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article
70(b), the case of a misidentified type-species is to be
referred to the Commission to fix as the type-species
whichever nominal species will ‘‘best serve stability and
universality of nomenclature”. We suggest that the
Commission be asked to designate as the type-species of
Microsetia Stephens the nominal species actually involved,
namely Tinea sexguttella Thunberg, 1794.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Tinea guttella
Hiibner, 1796, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist,
nat. Insectes (Spec. g6n. L^pid.) 1: 150. In the Introduction
to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Exposd
de notre M6thode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type ”... and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

Microsetia was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July],

When Walsingham designated as type-species Eustixis

the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this designation
constitutes the fixation of the originally included nominal

Opusc. ent. 11: 44, 78, treated “P. stipella Hb.” as a junior
synonym of T. sexguttella Thunberg.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Nannodia Heinemann the
nominal species actually involved, namely Tinea sexguttella
Thunberg, 1794.

Nannodia is a junior objective synonym of Microsetia
Stephens, 1829.

Orthenches and O. chlorocroma were made
nomenclaturally available when they were published in a

the type-species was then proposed as O. chlorocoma

O. chlorocoma is the spelling in general current use and
chlorocroma has not subsequently been used as a valid name.

Type-species: Tortrix urticana [Denis & Schiffermuller]

1816, Verz. bekannter Schmett.: 382], by subsequent
designation by Fernald, 1908, Genera Tortricidae Types: 24,
57 (as urticana Hb.).

The type-species was included by Stephens as “urticana
Hub.”, i.e., Tortrix urticana as used by Hiibner, [1799],
Samml. eur. Schmett. 7: pi. 11 fig. 65, which was a
misidentification of Tortrix urticana [Denis &
Schiffermuller], 1775, Ankiindung syst. Werkes Schmett.
Wienergegend: 132. Hiibner himself realized his mistake
and later proposed the name Celypha aemulana for his
fig.65.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest the Commission be asked to
designate as the type-species of Orthotaenia Stephens the
nominal species actually involved, namely Tortrix undulana
[Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775.

Unavailable designations of type-species: (1) Phalaena
turionella Linnaeus, 1758, a nominal species not originally
included in Orthotaenia, and not linked in synonymy with
one of the originally included nominal species when cited by
Curtis, 1831, Br. Ent. 8: folio 364. Curtis attributed Ortho-
taenia to Stephens and was not proposing a new genus.

(2) Tortrix rusticana Hiibner, [1799], was designated by
Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n. Ldpid.) 1:
148. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154,
Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera
and designated up to three different type-species for each
generic name. In his ‘‘Expose de notre Mdthode”, pages
155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of
the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article
69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible
for consideration if he states that it is the type ”... and if
it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’ s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not

been accepted by Hemming or other authors.

(3) Westwood, 1840, In trod. mod. Classif. Insects 2
(Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 108, placed Orthotaenia
Stephens as a junior synonym of Sericoris Treitschke, 1830,
and designated “T. urticana Hb.”. This was a designation
for Sericoris and cannot be accepted also for Orthotaenia.
Westwood on the next page (: 109) incorrectly accepted
“Orthotaenia Curtis” as a seperate genus and designated
Phalaena turionella Linnaeus, a nominal species not
originally included in Orthotaenia Stephens.

The objective replacement name is Acropogona Sodoffsky,

Kollar prior to its proposal and generic description by
Treitschke.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Tinea daphnella
[Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775, was designated by
Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gin. Lipid.) 1:

137. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154,
Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera
and designated up to three different type-species for each
generic name. In his “Exposl de notre Mlthode”, pages
155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of
the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article
69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible
for consideration if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if
it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

Paradoxus and P. osyridellus were Milliire manuscript
names made nomenclaturally available by Stainton.

Paradoxus Stainton, 1869, is not preoccupied by
X Paradoxus Bigsby, 1825, J. Acad. nat. Sci. Philad. 4:
365, - Trilobita. Bigsby referred on page 368 to “the
genus Paradoxus of Brongniart”. As there is no such genus
X Paradoxus Bigsby should be treated as an incorrect
subsequent spelling of Paradoxides Brongniart, 1822, in
Brongniart & Desmarest, Hist. nat. Crustacis fossiles:
31, - Trilobita.

Parafomoria Borkowski, 1975, was stated by van
Nieukerken to be not nomenclaturally available under the
Code as Borkowski “failed to describe the genus or to give
any characters to distinguish it from existing genera”. In
proposing his new genus Borkowski stated “Die mir
bekannten an Cistaceen lebenden Nepticuliden weichen in
ihrem Fliigel-geader so stark von den anderen Vertretem
dieser Familie ab, dass ich mich entschlossen habe fur diese
eine neue Gattung zu grunden.” In our opinion
Borkowski’s description is just sufficient to make his name
available and it has since been used as a valid name by
Leraut, 1980, Liste syst. syn. Lipid. Fr. Belg. Corse: 49,
and by Scoble, 1983, Transv. Mus. Monogr. 2: 42.

Parafomoria von Nieukerken, 1983, is thus a junior
homonym and junior objective synonym of Parafomoria
Borkowski, 1975.

PARAMESIA Stephens, 1829 [June], Norn. Br. Insects:
48. TORT [TORT]

Type-species: Phalaena gnomana Clerck, 1759, Icon.
Insect, rariorum 1: pi .4 fig. 13, by subsequent designation
by Fernald, 1908, Genera Tortricidae Types: 24, 55, but
cited as “ferrugana Schiff.”.

When Fernald designated as type-species Tortrix
ferrugana [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, a nominal species
not originally included in Paramesia, he also placed
gnomana, a nominal species originally included in
Paramesia, as a junior synonym of ferrugana. Under the
Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this designation constitutes
the fixation of the originally included nominal species as the
type-species.

Unavailable designations of type-species: (1) Tortrix
cerusana Hiibner, [1799], was designated by Boisduval,
1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. gin. Lipid.) 1: 149. In the
Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval
reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and
designated up to three different type-species for each generic
name. In his “Exposi de notre Mithode”, pages 155-690,
no type-species designation was made for any of the genera
he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv),
the type-species designation of an author is eligible for
consideration if he states that it is the type "... and if it
is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

(2) Phalaena gnomana Clerck was attributed, incorrectly,
to Linnaeus and was cited by Westwood, 1840, Introd.
mod. Classif. Insects 2 (Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 108,
as the type-species of Acleris Hiibner, [1825]. Although
Westwood placed Paramesia as a synonym of Acleris this
does not constitute an available designation of type-species
for Paramesia as has been accepted by some authors.

Paramesia was again proposed by Stephens, 1829 [July],
Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 187.

A junior homonym of Paratelphusa Wood-Mason, 1876,

unjustified emendation of Parathelphusa Milne-Edwards,

Crustacea. Wood-Mason used the spelling Paratelphusa in
the title and throughout his paper on the eight species that
he included in the genus. However, he correctly cited the
two species that were originally included in Parathelphusa
Milne-Edwards, [1853], as Parathelphusa tridentata Milne-
Edwards and Parathelphusa sinensis Milne-Edwards. Thus
Paratelphusa was a deliberate emendation. “ Paratelphusa
Zehntner, 1894” cited by Sattler, 1973, Bull. Br. Mus. nat.
Hist. (Ent.) 28: 235, as an incorrect subsequent spelling was
probably a usage of Wood-Mason’s unjustified emendation.

a nominal species not originally included in Pedois, he also
on the next page placed neurosticha, a nominal species

Bradley, 1966, Entomologist’s Gaz. 17: 219, has shown
that Phalaena xylostella Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10)
1: 538, is a senior subjective synonym of the cruciferous-
feeding Plutella maculipennis Curtis, 1832, and the type-
species of Plutella Schrank, 1802. In 1971, Bull. tool. Nom.
28: 11-13, he stated that the first available name for the
Lonicera- feeding species, Phalaena xylostella Linnaeus
sensu auct. is Alucita denteila Fabricius, 1775.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission. We suggest that the Commission be asked to
designate as the type-species of Periclymenobius
Waliengren, 1880, the nominal species actually involved,
namely Alucita denteila Fabricius, 1775.

out that Rafinesque substituted “e” for the diphthong “ae”

deliberate emendation. There is no objective replacement

Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 540 (a nominal

The type-species was included by Obraztsov as
“ vulneratana Zett.” i.e., Tortrix vulneratana Zetterstedt,
[1839] 1840, Insecta Lapponica: 979. Razowski, 1960,
Polskie Pismo ent. 30: 293, stated that vulneratana sensu
Obraztsov, 1943, was a misidentification and he proposed
that the concept should be named “ Phtheochroides
vulneratana Obraztsov”. However, this specific name is not
nomenclaturally available under the Code (Edn 3), Article
49, that deals with the “Use of species-group names
wrongly applied through misidentification”. Later
Razowski, 1968, established the nominal species P.
clandestina for the concept.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal

species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Phtheochroides
Obraztsov, 1943, the nominal species actually involved,
namely Phtheochroides clandestina Razowski, 1968.

PIESTA Billberg, 1820, Enumeratio Insect. Mus. G.J.
Bill berg: 91. OECO [DEPR]

Type-species: Phalaena heracliana Linnaeus sensu
Walsingham, 1908 [= Haemilis pastimcella Duponchel,
1838, in Godart & Duponchel, Hist. nat. Lipid. Papillons
Fr. 11: 153], by subsequent designation by Walsingham,
1908, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1907: 958.

The type-species was included by Billberg and designated
by Walsingham as Xheracleana Linnaeus, an incorrect
subsequent spelling of Phalaena ( Tortrix ) heracliana
Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 532. Bradley, 1966,
Entomologist’s Gaz. 17: 225, 226, designated a lectotype for
P. heracliana Linnaeus and pointed out that P. heracliana
was misidentified by Haworth, 1811, Lepid. Br .: 505 and
other authors. Billberg’s collection was destroyed by fire in
1822 and there is no evidence to show whether or not
Billberg also misidentified heracliana Linnaeus. When
Walsingham, 1908, designated Y'heracleana L.” as the
type-species of Fiesta he placed the latter as a junior
synonym of Depressaria Haworth, 1811, and cited
t“heracleana H[a]w[orth]” as its type-species. From the
context it is clear that Walsingham was treating the usages
of Xheracleana by different authors as denoting the same
species, now known as pastinacella Duponchel. The true
heracliana Linnaeus, 1758, is referred to by Walsingham as
Agonopterix applana (Fabricius), a junior subjective
synonym.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Fiesta Billberg, 1820, the
nominal species actually involved, namely Haemilis
pastinacella Duponchel, 1838.

Piesta will thus be a junior objective synonym of
Depressaria Haworth, 1811. If, however, it is argued that
the originally included nominal species Phalaena heracliana
Linnaeus should be the type-species, then Piesta would
become a senior subjective synonym of the well known and
universally used genus Agonopterix Hiibner, [1825]. A case
would then have to be submitted to the Commission under
the Code (Edn 3), Article 23(b), for the suppression of
Piesta as it is a senior synonym that, to the best of our
knowledge, has not been used as a valid name since it was
established over 160 years ago.

Piesta has been incorrectly placed in the Arctiidae by
some authors, based on the later type-species designation by
Fletcher, 1966, Entomologist’s Gaz. 17: 16, of Phalaena
deplana Linnaeus, [1771], Mantissa Plant a rum 2: 539.

Pluteloptera was used in the headings to the descriptions
of the genus and type-species and has been the spelling
adopted by authors from a multiple original spelling, ever
since the genus was named. It was also chosen by Neave,
1939, Nomencl. zool. 3: 829 when he cited it together with
\Plutelloptera. Fletcher, 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India

Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 532, by subsequent designation by
Westwood, 1840, Introd. mod. Classif. Insects 2 (Synopsis
Genera Br. Insects): 108.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Tortrix achatana
[Denis & Schiffermiiller] sensu Hiibner, [1799], was
designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec.
g£n. L6pid.) 1: 148. In the Introduction to the volume,
pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of
Lepidoptera and designated up to three different type-
species for each generic name. In his “Expose de notre
M&hode”, pages 155-690, no type-species designation was
made for any of the genera he himself used. Under the
Code (Edn 3), Article 69(aXiv), the type-species designation
of an author is eligible for consideration if he states that it
is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the author accepts it
as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-designations,
although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last requirement
and so are unavailable. Even though Boisduval’s 1836 work
was well-known to lepidopterists, the type-designations
contained in it have not been accepted by Hemming or by
other authors.

Poecilochroma was again proposed by Stephens, 1829

described by Riley, 1873, Trans. Acad. Sci. St. Louis 3: 55,
56, fig. 2.

Pronuba Riley, 1872, is a junior homonym of Pronuba
Thomson, 1860, Essai Classification Famille Cirambycides:
241 , - Insecta, Coleoptera. An objective replacement
name Valentinia Coolidge, 1909, was established but this
was also a junior homonym. There is no other objective
replacement name but Walsingham, 1914, Biologia cent.-
am. (Zool.) Lepid. -Heterocera 4: 369, placed Pronuba Riley
as a synonym of Tegeticula Zeller, 1873; the latter is thus
available for use as a subjective replacement name.

Type-species: Prophalonia gigas Rebel, 1936, ibidem 49:

The Code (Edn 3), Article 68(b)(i), states that the
formula “gen.n., sp.n.”, or its equivalent, applied before
1931 to only one of two or more new nominal species
included in a newly established nominal genus or subgenus,
is deemed to be an original designation if no other type-
species was designated. Out of the two originally included
species only P. gigas fulfilled this requirement but as
Prophalonia was published after 1930 and there was no
type-species designated the name is technically unavailable
under Article 13(b). However, it would be pedantic and
serve no useful purpose to rename this fossil taxon so
Prophalonia Rebel, 1936, is here treated as an available
name which the Commission would almost certainly ratify
if asked to do so.

Prophalonia was established in the Tortricidae; it was
transferred to the Tineoidea by Skalski, 1973, Dt. ent. Z.

Walsingham cited as type-species Tinea schrankella
Hiibner, [1805], a nominal species not originally included
in Psacaphora. At the same time, however, Walsingham
placed schrankella as a senior synonym of locupletella, a
nominal species originally included in Psacaphora (but cited
it as locupletella Herrich-Schaffer, an incorrect authorship).
Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this designation
constitutes the fixation of the originally included nominal
species as the type-species.

No originally included species was cited by Herrich-
Schaffer on page 13 but on page 48 a reference was given
to Microlepid. pi. 13 where two nominal species,
“Psachaphora linneella” and “ Psachaphora locupletella” ,

Pseudatteria originated from Walsingham but was
published and unintentionally made nomenclaturally
available by Meyrick prior to its proposal and generic
description by Walsingham for a similar concept but having
a different type-species. Razowski, 1977, Acta zool. cracov.
22: 276, stated that Pseudatteria Meyrick, 1912, was a
nomen nudum and he did not accept it as an available name
from that date. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 12(a) and
(b)(5), the publication of a generic name before 1931 in
combination with an available species-group name makes
that generic name nomenclaturally available.

PSEUDATTERIA Walsingham, 1913, Biologia cent. -am.
(Zool.) Lepid.-Heterocera 4: 214. TORT [TORT]

Type-species: Pseudatteria potamites Walsingham, 1913,
ibidem 4: 214, by original designation.

Pseudatteria Walsingham, 1913, is a junior homonym of
Pseudatteria Meyrick, 1912. There is no objective
replacement name but P. potamites is a junior subjective
synonym of Atteria rivularis Butler, 1875, Ann. Mag. nat.
Hist. (4) 15: 342, and rivularis is a subspecies of Atteria
volcanica , the type-species of Pseudatteria Meyrick. The
latter is therefore available for use as a subjective
replacement name.

Obraztsov, 1966, Proc. U.S. natn. Mus. 118: 585,
considered that Pseudatteria should be attributed to
Walsingham and stated that he had submitted a proposal
to the International Commission on Zoological
Nomenclature to place Pseudatteria Meyrick on the Official
Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology.
This proposal has not been published by the Commission.

PSEUDOTOMIA Stephens, 1829 [June], Nom. Br. Insects:

Type-species: Phalaena strobilella Linnaeus sensu
Stephens, 1829, [= Tortrix argyrana Hiibner, [1799],
Samml. eur. Schmett. 7: pi. 8 fig. 46], by subsequent
designation by Westwood, 1840, Introd. mod. Classif.
Insects 2 (Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 107 (as strobilella
L.).

The type-species was included by Stephens as
“ Strobilella , Lin.” i.e., Phalaena strobilella Linnaeus, 1758,
Syst. Nat. (Edn 10) 1: 539. Stephens, 1829 [July], Syst. Cat.
Br. Insects 2: 175, placed argyrana Hiibner as a synonym
of strobilella Linnaeus, and Westwood when he designated
strobilella Linnaeus added the reference “Hb. To. 8.46.”
Femald, 1908, Genera Tortricidae Types: 22, pointed out
that the correct name for strobilella sensu Stephens, and
sensu Westwood, is argyrana Hiibner.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Pseudotomia Stephens,
1829, the nominal species actually involved, namely Tortrix
argyrana Hiibner, [1799].

Unavailable designation of type-species: Tortrix sequana
Hiibner, [1799], was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist,
nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n. Lipid.) 1: 148. In the Introduction
to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Expose
de notre Mdthode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

Pseudotomia was again proposed by Stephens, 1829
[July], Syst. Cat. Br. Insects (2): 175, and by Stephens,
1834, Illust. Br. Ent. (Haustellata) 4: 97.

Rambur’s redescription and usage of Tinea pectinella
[Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, Ankiindung syst. Werkes

1767, as used by Esper, 1785, Die Schmett. 3: 230, pi. 44
fig.7; and by Borkhausen, 1790, Naturg. eur. Schmett. 3:
285, who cited Esper’s usage, each a misidentification.

P. agrosddis was proposed as a replacement name for

262

I. W. B. NYE & D. S. FLETCHER

“Phalaena atra Borkh.”

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Ptilocephala Rambur,
1866, the nominal species actually involved namely Psyche
agrostidis Schrank, 1802.

Tortricidae Types : 24, 55.

Ramapesia was established, unnecessarily, as a new name
for Paramesia Stephens, 1829. Razowski correctly cited the
type-species of Paramesia Stephens as P. gnomana Clerck
but nevertheless proposed Ramapesia as a new name and
used it as the valid generic name for gnomana. Razowski
considered that gnomana was misidentified by Stephens. He
should therefore have referred the case to the Commission
under the Code and asked them to fix as the type-species
whichever nominal species will “best serve stability and
universality of nomenclature”. In this case Paramesia has
been in general current use for gnomana for over 30 years,
since its use as a valid generic name in the revision of

The type-species was included by Treitschke and cited by
Duponchel as t ustulella, an incorrect subsequent spelling.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Alucita costella
Fabricius, 1775, was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist,
nat. Insectes (Spec. gen. L£pid.) 1: 137. In the Introduction
to the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Expose
de notre M6thode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species.” Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

The citation by Duponchel is acceptable as a type-species
designation as it is contained in the continuation of a layout
in which Duponchel stated in the same work, 7 (2): 102,
that the species so cited were the types of genera.

Mag. nat Hist. (7) 6: 124.

The designation by Walsingham has been incorrectly cited
by authors as being in volume 5.

Earlier type-species designation: Phalaena hastiana
Linnaeus, 1758, was cited as type-species by Westwood,
1840, Introd. mod. Classif. Insects 2 (Synopsis Genera Br.
Insects): 109. Hiibner originally included in Rhyacionia a
species cited as “ Rhyacionia Hastana Linn. Syst.Phal.311.
Htibn.Tor.186.” Strictly this use of R. hastana should be
treated as an incorrect subsequent spelling of Phalaena
hastiana Linnaeus. However, ever since Herrich-Schaffer,
1851, Syst. Bearbeitung Schmett. Eur. 4: 149, 206, it has
been known that Hiibner misidentified hastiana Linnaeus,
and Tortrix hastana Hiibner, [1799], Samml. eur. Schmett.
7: pi. 29. fig. 1 86, has been used to denote a different species
in a different subfamily.

To maintain general current usage a case should be
submitted to the Commission asking them to rule (1) that
Tortrix hastana Hiibner, 1799, be treated as a
nomenclaturaliy available name denoting a taxon different
from that denoted by Phalaena hastiana Linnaeus, 1758;
and (2) that the type-species designation by Westwood,
1840, be suppressed.

Tortrix hastana Hiibner, 1799, is the type-species of

Type-species: Alucita erxlebella Fabricius, 1787, Mantissa
Insect. 2: 256, by subsequent designation by Fletcher, 1928,
Cat. Indian Insects 17: 19.

Zeller originally included five species in his new genus
Roeslerstammia, four species in section A and one species
in section B. Section B was a new subgenus named
Chrysitella Zeller containing only the species erxlebella
Fabricius. Under the Code (Edns 2 & 3), Article 69(a), any
of the five nominal species originally included in
Roeslerstammia was eligible to be subsequently designated
as type-species. Fletcher’s designation of erxlebella was valid
even though it made Roeslerstammia and Chrysitella into
objective synonyms of one another.

Ko?ak, 1980, Communs Fac. Sci. Univ. Ankara (C) 24:
20-23, did not accept erxlebella as the valid type-species
and he stated that the type-species is Roeslerstammia
assectella Zeller, 1839, by subsequent monotypy under the
Code (Edn 2), Article 69(a)(ii)(2), and (Edn 3) Article
69(a)(i)(l)&(vii). However, this subsection of the Article
only applies if there were no originally included nominal
species in the new genus. Ko?ak, 1981, ibidem (Q 25: 20,

in a published reply to a personal letter written to him by
Nye, still held to the opinion that the type-species of
Roeslerstammia must be designated from one of the four
species originally included in the subgenus Roeslerstammia.
While this is a very sensible opinion it is not, however,
correct under the rules of the Code.

Roeslerstammia was included in the Yponomeutidae by
Fletcher, 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 195; its
assignments to other families were reviewed by Kyrki, 1983,
Entomologica scand. 14: 321, and the family name
Roeslerstammiidae Bruand, 1850, was revived.

showed that wahlbomiana Linnaeus sensu Treitschke, 1829,
was a misidentification of a species that should have been
identified as T. alticolana Herrich-Schaffer.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked

species actually involved, namely Tortrix alticolana Herrich-

A junior objective synonym of Cydia Hiibner, [1825].
Unavailable designations of type-species: (1) Tortrx
pomonana [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, was designated
by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g6n. Ldpid.)
1: 148. In the Introduction to the volume, pages 1-154,
Boisduval reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera
and designated up to three different type-species for each
generic name. In his “Expose de notre Mdthode”, pages
155-690, no type-species designation was made for any of
the genera he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article
69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible
for consideration if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if
it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-designations, although clearly stated, do
not fulfil the last requirement and so are unavailable. Even
though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to
lepidopterists, the type-designations contained in it have not
been accepted by Hemming or by other authors.

(2) Westwood, 1840, In trod. mod. Classif. Insects 2
(Synopsis Genera Br. Insects): 108, placed Semasia Stephens
as a junior synonym of Carpocapsa Treitschke, 1829, and
designated pomonella L. This was a designation for
Carpocapsa and cannot be accepted also for Semasia.

(3) Ephippiphora spiniana Duponchel, [1843], a nominal

Type-species: Tinea marmorella Schrank, 1796, Samml.

T. marmorella Schrank, 1796, is a junior primary
homonym of Tinea marmorella Fourcroy, 1785, Ent. Paris’.
330. There is no objective replacement name and T.
marmorella Schrank does not seem to have been used either
as a valid name or in synonymy since it was established over
180 years ago to denote a new taxon.

Ko;ak, 1980, Communs Fac. Sci. Univ. Ankara (C3) 24:
40, treated Setella as having a misidentified type-species and
stated "Tinea marmorella Fabricius sensu Schrank is a
junior subjective synonym of Tinea rubiella Bjerkander”.
However, Schrank in 1796 said that he had not found a
description of this moth and called it Tinea marmorella on
account of its pattern. The type-species was therefore
named by Schrank in 1796 and cannot be a
misidentification of Tinea marmorella Fabricius, 1798, Ent.
Syst. (Suppl.): 488, which was established for a different
nominal taxon two years after Schrank’s name.

Fletcher, 1929, Mem. Dep. Agric. India (Ent.) 11: 203,
noted that “the type-species has apparently not been
identified; according to Durrant’s M.S. List, it is a
Lampronia and Setella = Lampronia Steph. 1835.”
Nielsen & Davis, 1985, Syst. Ent. 10: 319, stated “Since
the identity of marmorella Schrank remains unknown and
Durrant’s notes contain insufficient evidence to establish the
identity of Setella, we use Lampronia as the valid name for
this widely distributed and well-known genus.”

The type-species was included by Stephens as “comitana,

comitana as a synonym of T. ocellana.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will ‘‘best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Spilonota Stephens the
nominal species actually involved, namely Tortrix ocellana

Fabricius was designated by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat.
Insectes (Spec. g£n. L£pid.) 1: 148. In the Introduction to
the volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Expose
de notre Mdthode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1836 work was well-known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
Hemming or by other authors.

Walsingham pointed out that when describing the genus
Stigmella, Schrank had inadvertently omitted to give the
name and reference to a species described 30 pages earlier,
Tinea rosella Schrank, 1802, ibidem 2 (2): 139. Thus there
was no originally included nominal species. Walsingham
included in Stigmella and cited as type-species the senior

Article 68(a)(i) of the Code (Edn 3) does not apply to
generic names proposed after 1930 and, if applied strictly,
StigmeUites would be an unavailable name, leaving two
available species-group names without an available generic
name. StigmeUites heringi was followed by the formula “n.
gen., n. sp.’\ the second included nominal species,
StigmeUites pliotityrella, was followed by only “n. sp.”
Kernbach’s intentions were clear and his original
designation using the formula defined by the Code (Edn 3),
Article 68(a)(i), has been adopted in this catalogue.

\Subeidophasia was described and proposed to contain

Subeidophasia was first described and proposed by

was published after 1930 and was not accompanied by the
Fixation of a type-species it was nomenclaturally unavailable
from that date. Gozm&ny used Subeidophasia as a valid
name and established in it a new species 5. kovacsi
Gozm&ny, 1952, Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. (N.S.)

Ent. 16: 450, also used Subeidophasia as a valid name but
did not Fix a type-species. Moriuti, 1977, commented that
because no type-species had previously been cited he
selected senilella. At the same time Moriuti placed
Subeidophasia as a junior subjective synonym of Caunaca
Wallengren, 1880, which would normally prevent its
acceptance as an available name. However, under the Code
(Edn 3), Article 11(e), as Gozmdny, 1952, had treated
Subeidophasia as an available name prior to 1961, then
Subeidophasia can date as an available name from its first

Tachyptilia as a synonym of Anacampsis this does not

that both Tebenna bjerkandrella (Thunberg, 1784) and

supress Phalaena cardui Strom for the purposes of both the
Principle of Priority and of the Principle of Homonymy.
The Commission agreed to this proposal in 1982 in Bull,

Phalaena (Tortrix) cardui Strom, 1783, on the Official

of an unnamed species for which he established Thyrocopa
abusa.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature.” We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Thyrocopa the nominal
species actually involved, namely Thyrocopa abusa

Meyrick, 1890, [ = Pielus atripalpis Walker, 1856, List
Specimens lepid. Insects Colin Br. Mus. 7: 1577], by
monotypy.

The type-species was included by Meyrick, as “Cossus
labyrinthicus , Don. Ins. N. Holl.; C. argenteus, ib., HS.
Lep. Exot. I. [figs] 47, 48; Pielus labyrinthicus. Walk.
Bomb. 1578; P. atripalpis, ib. 1577; P. hydrographus, Feld,
pl.lxxx. 3”. Tindale, 1932, Rec. S. Aust. Mus. 4: 500, 510,
considered that Meyrick, 1890, had misidentified Cossus
labyrinthicus Donovan, 1805, which is the type-species of
Pielus Walker, 1856. Tindale additionally considered that
Cossus argenteus Donovan sensu Herrich-Schaffer and
sensu Meyrick, was also a misidentification, as the true
argenteus Donovan was the female of the true labyrinthicus
Donovan. Tindale agreed with Meyrick, and placed P.
atripalpis Walker in the synonymy of labyrinthicus sensu
Meyrick and argenteus sensu Meyrick.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Trictena the nominal
species actually involved, namely Pielus atripalpis Walker,
1856.

Although Tindale treated argenteus Donovan sensu
Herrich-Schaffer, [1853] 1850-1858, Samml. neuer oder
wenig bekannter aussereur. Schmett. 1 (1): wrapper, pi. 11
figs 47, 48, as a misidentification which could not be used
as a valid name, Tindale treated the text of this work
“Argentatus Donov. -Exot. f.47. 48” Herrich-Schaffer,
[1856] 1850-1858, ibidem 1 (1): 5, as a valid name, i.e.,
“ Trictena argentata (Herrich-Schaeffer).” But the usage of
X argentatus by Herrich-Schaffer is clearly an incorrect
subsequent spelling of argenteus Donovan and therefore
should not be used as a valid name. The next
nomenclaturally available name is P. atripalpis Walker,
1856.

and D. sylvicola Dugdale, 1986.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species “is to be referred to the
Commission to designate as the type species whichever
nominal species will in its judgement best serve stability and
universality of nomenclature”. Dugdale, loc. cit., has
submitted a case to the Commission asking them to rule
that the type-species of Trioxycanus Dumbleton is the
nominal species Porina enysii Butler.

Type-species: Phalaena heracliana Linnaeus sensu
Fabricius, 1775, [= Haemilis pastinaceUa Duponchel, 1838,
in Godart & Duponchel, Hist. nat. Lipid. Papillons Fr. 11:

Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1907: 958.

Bradley, 1966, Entomologist’s Gaz. 17: 226, showed that
Phalaena heracliana Linnaeus sensu Fabricius, 1775, Syst.
Ent.: 655 (published by Fabricius as Xheracleana, an
incorrect subsequent spelling) was a misidentification and
that the first available name for the misidentified species is
Haemilis pastinacella Duponchel, 1838.

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Volucra Latreille the
nominal species actually involved, namely Haemilis
pastinacella Duponchel, 1838.

Unavailable designation of type-species: Phalaena
heracliana sensu Fabricius, 1775 [= Haemilis pastinacella
Duponchel, 1838] (cited as Xheracleana Fabricius, an
incorrect subsequent spelling) was designated by Boisduval,
1836, Hist. nat. Insectes (Spec. g£n. L£ipd.) 1: 119. In the
Introduction to the volume, pages 1—1 54, Boisduval
reviewed earlier classifications of Lepidoptera and
designated up to three different type-species for each generic
name. In his “Expos6 de notre Method”, pages 155-690,
no type-species designation was made for any of the genera
that he himself used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article
69(a)(iv), the type-species designation of an author is eligible

for consideration if he states that it is the type ”... and if
it is clear that the author accepts it as the type-species”.
Boisduval’s type-species designations, although clearly
stated, do not fulfil the last requirement and so are
unavailable. Even though Boisduval’s 1836 work was well
known to lepidopterists the type-designations contained in
it have not been accepted by authors.

Unavailable designations of type-species: (1) Phalaena
xylostella Linnaeus, 1758, (cited as xylostella Hiibner, an
incorrect authorship) was designated for Ypsolophus
Fabricius, 1798, an unjustified emendation of Ypsolopha
Latreille, [1796], by Boisduval, 1836, Hist. nat. Insectes
(Spec. g£n. L6pid.) 1: 150. In the Introduction to the
volume, pages 1-154, Boisduval reviewed earlier
classifications of Lepidoptera and designated up to three
different type-species for each generic name. In his “Expose
de notre M6thode”, pages 155-690, no type-species
designation was made for any of the genera that he himself
used. Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 69(a)(iv), the type-
species designation of an author is eligible for consideration
if he states that it is the type “ . . . and if it is clear that the
author accepts it as the type-species”. Boisduval’s type-
designations, although clearly stated, do not fulfil the last
requirement and so are unavailable. Even though
Boisduval’s 1836 work was well known to lepidopterists, the
type-designations contained in it have not been accepted by
authors.

(2) Tinea persicella [Denis & Schiffermiiller], 1775, a
nominal species not originally included in Ypsolopha and
not linked with one of the originally included nominal
species when designated by Boisduval, 1836, ibidem 1: 137.

(3) Phalaena asperella Linnaeus, 1761, a nominal species
not originally included in Ypsolopha and not linked with

Both Boisduval’s and Westwood’s designations were
made for Hypsolopha Billberg, 1820 (but attributed to
Treitschke by the former and to Hiibner, by the latter, each
an incorrect authorship), which was an unjustified
emendation of Ypsolophus Fabricius, 1798, itself an
unjustified emendation of Ypsolopha Latreille, [1796].

ZEIRAPHERA Treitschke, 1829, in Ochsenheimer,

designation by Curtis, 1838, Br. Ent. 15: folio 711 (but cited
as “ Tortrix communana Linn.”).

Zeiraphera was proposed for six nominal species, the first
of which was listed as “Licheana, ( **)Corticana , Hubn.
209. 270.” Treitschke’s footnote marked by (**) stated that
Hiibner’s corticana Figure 13 represented a species different
from the corticana figures 209 and 270 which he included
in Zeiraphera.

Hiibner had illustrated three species under the name
corticana. (1) Tortrix corticana, Hiibner, [1799], Samml.
eur. Schmett. 7: pi. 3 fig. 13, which was subsequently
renamed Apotomis turbidana Hiibner, [1825] 1816, Verz.

[1813], ibidem 7: pi. 33 fig. 209, subsequently renamed
Epinotia kuhlweiniana by Hiibner, [1825] 1816, ibidem:
377; and Zeiraphera licheana Treitschke, 1829, ibidem 7:
231. (3) Tortrix corticana, Hiibner, [1819], ibidem 1: pl.43

Curtis cited as type-species Tortrix communana Linnaeus,
a nominal species not originally included in Zeiraphera. At
the same time, however, on the reverse side of folio 711,
Curtis placed communana as a senior synonym of
“ corticana Hub. - lichenana Treit.” (an incorrect
subsequent spelling of licheana Treitschke), a nominal
species originally included in Zeiraphera. Under the Code
(Edn 3), Article 69(a)(v), this designation constitutes the
fixation of the originally included nominal species as the
type-species.

Zeiraphera licheana Treitschke, 1829, and Epinotia
kuhlweiniana Hiibner, [1825], are objective synonyms each
established to denote Tortrix corticana [Denis &
Schiffermiiller] sensu Hiibner, [1813].

Under the Code (Edn 3), Article 70(b), the case of a
misidentified type-species is to be referred to the
Commission to fix as the type-species whichever nominal
species will “best serve stability and universality of
nomenclature”. We suggest that the Commission be asked
to designate as the type-species of Zeiraphera Treitschke the
nominal species actually involved, namely Epinotia
kuhlweiniana Hiibner, [1825].
