(From: A Catalogue of the Butterflies of the United States and Canada, Jonathan P. Pelham) Genus Vanessa [Fabricius], 1807 In: Illiger, Mag. f. Insektenk. 6: 281, no. 12. Type-species: Papilio atalanta Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1: 478, no. 119, by designation of Latreille (1810), Consid. gén Anim. Crust. Arach. Ins.: 440, 354. I.C.Z.N. Opinion 156 placed Vanessa on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology as name no. 601. This name was spelled “Phanessa” by Sodoffsky (1837), Bull. Soc. Imp. Nat. Moscou 10(6): 80, no. 4; an unjustified emendation. = ‡Nymphalis Latreille, 1804 Nouv. Dict. Hist. Nat. 24(tab): 184, no. 468, 199. Type species: Papilio atalanta Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1: 478, no. 119, by monotypy. Preoccupied by Nymphalis Kluk, 1780, Zwierz. Hist. Nat. Pocz. Gospod. 4: 86. Wagener (1995), in: Hesselbarth et al., Tagf. Türk (2): 1008, claimed that the species Papilio morio Retzius, 1783, Gen. Spec. Ins.: 31, no. 9, the other of the two species included in the genus by Latreille, was indeed validly described. This name is a homonym and need not be considered further. = Cynthia [Fabricius], 1807 In: Illiger, Mag. f. Insektenk. 6: 281, no. 11. Type-species: Papilio cardui Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1: 475, no. 107, by designation of Westwood (1840), Intro. Class. Ins. 2: 87. I.C.Z.N. Direction 4 placed Cynthia on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology as name no. 805. I.C.Z.N. Opinion 156 gave Vanessa precedence over Cynthia. The validity of this name as a genus-level taxon is questionable, as demonstrated by occasional hybridization between taxa placed by W. D. Field (1971), Smithsonian Contrib. Zool. (84):1-105, in Vanessa and Cynthia (e.g., Dimock (1973), J. Lepid. Soc. 27(4): 278). = ‡Pyrameis Hübner, [1819] Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (3): 33. Type-species: Papilio atalanta Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1: 478, no. 119, by designation of Scudder (1875), Proc. Am. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10(2): 260, no. 924. A junior objective synonym of Vanessa. = ‡Ammiralis Rennie, 1832 Conspectus Butts. Moths: 10. Type-species: Papilio atalanta Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1: 478, no. 119, by monotypy. A junior objective synonym of Vanessa. = ‡Neopyrameis Scudder, 1889 Butts. E. U. S. & Can. 1(3): 434. Type-species: Papilio cardui Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1: 475, no. 107, by monotypy. A junior objective synonym of Cynthia. = Fieldia Niculescu, 1979 Revue vérviét. Hist. Nat. 36(1-3): 3. Type-species: Hamadryas carye Hübner, [1812] (as Vanessa carye), Samml. exot. Schmett. 1: pl. [45], figs. 1, 2, by original designation.
Vanessa tameamea Escholtz, 1821 In: Kotzebue, Endeck. Reise Süd-See 3 (appendix 5): 207, pl. [5], figs. 8a ♂ D, 8b ♂ V. Original Combination: Vanessa Tameamea Type Locality: “Wahu, einer der Sandwichinseln” [Oahu, Honolulu County, Hawaii] Types: Location of type(s) not known. This name was spelled “tammeamea” by Escholtz on plate 5. As first reviser, Kirkaldy (1906), Entomol. 39(517): 238-239, chose the spelling as that given in the text (Code Article 24.2.3). = cordelia (E. Doubleday, 1847) In: Gen. diurn. Lepid. (1)(14): pl. 25, fig. 3 ♀(?) D; (24): 204, (1849, as a synonym of Pyrameis tammeamea). Original Combination: Pyrameis Cordelia Type Locality: “Sandwich Islands” [Hawaii] Types: Syntype in BMNH. |
