摘要

This matter arose when d'Abrera & Mint (2001) proposed eight generic names inthe LYCAENIDAE (Lepidoptera). An application on the availability of these names(Robbins & Lamas 2008b) noted that the words in d'Abrera & Balint (2001)differentiated the type species. Similarly, the characters in d'Abrera & Mint (2001)differentiated the type species. The proposed interpretation (Robbins, 2002; 2004;Robbins & Lamas 2008a, b) was that d'Abrera & Mint (2001) had differentiated thetype species for each new generic name, contradicting Article 13.1.1 of the Codewhich requires differentiation of the new genus. Craig now proposes the alternativeinterpretation that d'Abrera & Mint (2001) intended to differentiate each genus.
