British Insects: the Families of Lepidoptera
British Insects: the Families of Lepidoptera | |
Comments. Numbers refer to the first edition of Curtis's British Entomology. Inclusion in this list means that the nomenclatural combination quoted from him has not been satisfactorily resolved, despite exhaustive pursuit of the Kloet and Hincks Check Lists (1945 and subsequent updates) and the other works to hand (see References).
205*, Hipparchia arcanius Linn. (Plastead's Tawny Ringlet Butterfly: Coenonympha, Satyridae). 181, Lasiocampa medicaginis Ochsen. (Medick Eggar Moth: Lasiocampidae. Curtis’s 1827 description and illustrations of a male adult and of a larva do not conform well with L. trifolii, to which it is usually referred. His depiction of the larva, however, was copied from an earlier one by Esper, which was used in the preparation of Ochsenheimer's original description). 424, Psodos equestrata Fab. (Gold Four-spot Moth: Geometridae). 551, Spilonota marmorana Hübn. (Marbled Dog's-tooth Tortrix: Eucosmidae. Stainton's Spilonota doesn't include this species, or anything that matches it. Bradley et al. list it as a queried synonym of Acleris maccana.) From Morris (1863): ‘Albin's Hampstead Eye’, = Junonia (Precis) villida? (see the illustrations for comparison).
