Talk:Zerynthia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zerynthia Ochsenheimer, 1816 (Ackery (1975) pointed out that Zerynthia is a junior synonym of Parnalius Rafinesque, 1815 - published as a replacement name for the preoccupied Thais Fabricius and moreover correctly listed by Sherborne (1929) Neave (1940) and Cowan (1970). Parnalius has subsequently been suppressed cf. Bull. Zool. Nomencl. 36 (1979): 102)

The synonymy is as follows:

Thais Fabricius, 1807 (Syst. Gloss: XI): typus mancat.; junior homonym of Thais Roding, 1789.

Thais Fabricius, 1807 (Mag. Insekt 6: 283) type Papilio hypsiphyle Fabricius by monotypy.

Parnalius Rafinesque, 1815 (Analyse Nat.: 128) type by Art. 67 (1): Papilio hypsiphyle Fabricius.

Zerynthia Ochsenheimer, 1816 (Schmett. Europ. 4: 128 type polyxena Schiff, selected by Scudder; n.n. pro Thais Fabricius. - subspecies polyxena, medisicaste, rumina.

Eugraphis (Dalman i.l.) Billberg, 1820 (Ennum. Ins.: 75) type hypsiphyle Fabricius by monotypy.

Zerinthia Sodovsky, 1837 (Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat. Mosc. 1834 (10): 82: nom. emend. pro Zerynthia Ochs.

Cerynthia Staudinger, 1861 (Staude and Woche: Cat. Lep. Europ. (1): 1: nom. emend.

Zerynthyia Zerny, 1927 (Eos, Madrid 3: 313): nom. emend.

Thays Rocci, 1928 (Boll. Soc. Ent. Ital. 10: 55): nom. emend.

Allancastria Bryk, 1934 (Parnassiana 2: 104) type cerisyi Godart by monotypy: synonymised by Ackery, 1975.

Some considerable taxonomic changes have been introduced for this interesting group in recent years, e.g. Ackery (1975), Larsen (1973), Kuhna (1977), Kocak (1975, 1977), Freina (1979). To the present author those of Kuhna and Freina are most acceptable.

Species

polyxena Denis and Schiffermuller 1775 (: hypermnestra Scopoli, 1763) hypsiphyle Fabricus, 1777: hypsipyle Schultzen, 1776. Bricuox (1975) has all South France populations under creusa Meigen described from Italy, with four sub-races that might or might not be comparable to local (ecological) races or forms:- creusa trans cassandra (Gard): creusa (Nice): microcreusa (Roquebrune) thus following the example set by Verity. The need for a strict revision is much in evidence.

Staudinger, 1861 (= canteneri Heyd. 1851, was originally applied to? African populations and would appear to be valid, cf Felder and Felder (1864), Rothschild (1917),: canteneri is generally considered a European form but the type locality was fixed 'Algeria' by the Felder brothers (l.c.) whereas Staudinger (1861) only, and apparently erroneously, referred the name to the Iberian form ochracea. Manley and Allcard (1970) following Bryk (1934) referred to canteneri Staudinger as an orange aberration of both sexes which is frequent in Morocco but occasionally appears in warmer parts of South Spain.
