NEODIPHTHERA
Fletcher, 1982
Fletcher & Nye (1982) stated:
"Neodiphthera was diagnosed by Bouvier, 1936, Mém. Mus. natn.
Hist. nat. Paris (N.S.) 3: 142 (key), 194; thirteen nominal
species were included, but no type-species was designated.
Under Article 13(b) of the Code, genus-group names published after
1930 must be accompanied by the definite fixation of a type-species;
* Neodiphthera Bouvier, 1936, does not satisfy those provisions and
is therefore unavailable.
"No use of * Neodiphthera since 1936 has been found that by
including an indication and a type-species designation would have
made the name available."
Opodiphthera papuana, now Neodiphthera papuana (Rothschild, 1904) is the type species.
Stefan Naumann (February 2007) writes, " For albicera
please mention the white ocelli on the wing undersides (name!) in
comparision to papuana. N. goodgeri was found to be a
synonym of papuana by Lane & Naumann, 2003, just a pink morph
of the older taxon. Please see both figured specimens. All specimens
are in my collection. N. nigroculata is cited in synonymy of
papuana by Brechlin 2005.
"I checked the homepage and found that you enclosed several specimen
in Opodiphthera which currently are handled in Neodiphthera
(cf. Brechlin 2005 although this may be not the final
classification). Those are:
aruensis, ceramensis, decellei, doboensis, elleri, excavus,
foucheri, gazella, goodgeri (syn. of papuana),
grisea (syn. of foucheri), intermedia, joiceyi,
monacha, thythmica, sciron, saccopoea, sahulensis, strandi,
(syn. of sciron), talboti, tennenti, venusta (not
venuta)."
I have updated the files and made the corrections indicated by Stefan.
