Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 2, No. 1, January 2007 115 NEW SUBSTITUTE NAMES FOR THREE PREOCCUPIED LEPIDOPTERAN GENERA: HERCYNELLA BETHUNE-BAKER, 1893, COLONEURA DAVIS, 1964 AND PARAGORGOPIS VIETTE, 1951 (LEPIDOPTERA) [Özdikmen, H. 2007. New substitute names for three preoccupied lepidopteran genera: Hercynella Bethune-Baker, 1893, Coloneura Davis, 1964 and Paragorgopis Viette, 1951 (Lepidoptera). Munis Entomology & Zoology 1 (2): 115-118] ABSTRACT: Three junior homonyms were detected amongst the Lepidopteran genera and the following replacement names are proposed: Tulaya nom. nov. for Hercynella Bethune-Baker, 1893; Neocoloneura nom. nov. for Coloneura Davis, 1964; Vietteogorgopis nom. nov. for Paragorgopis Viette, 1951. Accordingly, new combinations are herein proposed for the species currently included in these genera: Tulaya staudingeri (Bethune-Baker, 1893) comb. nov. and Tulaya margelana (Bethune-Baker, 1893) comb. nov. from Hercynella Bethune-Baker, 1893; Neocoloneura fragilis (Barnes & McDunnough, 1916) comb. nov. from Coloneura Davis, 1964; Vietteogorgopis foetterlei (Viette 1951) comb. nov., Vietteogorgopis jordani (Viette 1956) comb. nov., Vietteogorgopis nigrovenosalis (Viette 1956) comb. nov., Vietteogorgopis oreas (Schaus 1892) comb. nov., Vietteogorgopis pittionii (Viette 1951) comb. nov., Vietteogorgopis schausi (Viette 1951) comb. nov. and Vietteogorgopis spitzi (Viette 1956) comb. nov. from Paragorgopis Viette, 1951. Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 2, No. 1, January 2007 116 Hercynella Bethune-Baker, 1893 the new replacement name Tulaya nom. nov. Etymology: The name dedicated to Tülay Özdikmen. The name is feminine in gender. Tulaya new replacement name = Hercynella Bethune-Baker, 1893 (non Kayser, 1878). Tulaya staudingeri (Bethune-Baker, 1893) comb. nov. from Hercynella Bethune-Baker, 1893. Tulaya margelana (Bethune-Baker, 1893) comb. nov. from Hercynella Bethune-Baker, 1893. Remarks: The name Coloneura was initially introduced by Foerster (1862) for a genus of the wasp family Braconidae (with the type species Coloneura stylata Foerster, 1862. Subsequently, Davis (1964) described a new moth genus of the family Psychidae (with the type species Apterona fragilis Barnes & McDunnough, 1916 by original designation) under the same generic name. This genus is monotypic. Thus, Coloneura Davis, 1964 is invalid under the law of homonymy, being a junior homonym of Coloneura Foerster, 1862. Furthermore, Nye & Fletcher (1991) also stated that Coloneura Davis, 1964 is a junior homonym of Coloneura Foerster, 1862. Unfortunately, there is no objective replacement name at the present. In accordance with article 60 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, fourth edition (1999), I propose for the genus Coloneura Davis, 1964 the new replacement name Neocoloneura nom. nov. Neocoloneura new replacement name = Coloneura Davis, 1964 (non Foerster, 1862). Neocoloneura fragilis (Barnes & McDunnough, 1916) comb. nov. from Coloneura Davis, 1964. Family Hepialidae Genus Vietteogorgopis nom. nov. Paragorgopis Viette, 1951. Ann. naturh. Mus. Wien, 58, 140. (Lepidoptera: Hepialoidea: Hepialidae). Preoccupied by Paragorgopis Giglio-Tos, 1893. Boll. Mus. Zool. Anat. comp. Torino, 8, no. 158, 12. (Diptera: Ulidiidae). Mun. Ent. Zool. Vol. 2, No. 1, January 2007 117 Remarks: Firstly, the genus Paragorgopis was established by Giglio- Tos, 1893 for the fly family Ulidiidae with the type species Paragorgopis maculata Giglio-Tos, 1893. At present, the genus Paragorgopis Giglio-Tos, 1893 includes 12 species as Paragorgopis argyrata Hendel, 1914; Paragorgopis cancellata Hendel, 1909; Paragorgopis clathrata Hendel, 1909; Paragorgopis discrepans Hendel, 1914; Paragorgopis euryale Kameneva, 2004; Paragorgopis incus Kameneva, 2004; Paragorgopis maculata Giglio-Tos, 1893; Paragorgopis mallea Hendel, 1909; Paragorgopis medusa Kameneva, 2004; Paragorgopis schnusei Hendel, 1909; Paragorgopis stapes Kameneva, 2004 and Paragorgopis sth
