Genus Archichauliodes van der Weele, 1909

Archichauliodes van der Weele, 1909: 257 . Type species. Hermes diversus Walker, 1853 (by present designation; see Nomenclatural notes below).

Nomenclatural notes

Oswald & Penny (1991) identified Archichauliodes as a genus name based on a misidentified type species and a name whose type species had yet to be validly fixed. They noted that the case (at that time) required referral to the Commission for type species fixation under Art. 70b of the Code (3 rd edition, ICZN 1985). We are not aware of any nomenclatural acts published since 1991 that have validly fixed the type species of Archichauliodes under either the 3 rd or 4 th editions of the Code. To resolve this long-standing issue, we act here to formally fix the type species of Archichauliodes under Art. 70.3 (4 th edition, ICZN 1999) in a manner that is in accordance with long-accepted usage. Van der Weele (1909) origionally included three valid nominal species in Archichauliodes – Hermes dubitatus Walker, 1853 (as “ Ch[auliodes]. dubitatus Wlk. ”), Hermes guttiferus Walker, 1853 (as “ Ch[auliodes]. guttiferus Wlk. ”), and Chauliodes pusillus McLachlan, 1867 (as “as “ Ch[auliodes]. pusillus Mc. Lachl. ”) – and he explicitly designated “ Ch. dubitatus Wlk. from New Zealand ” as its type species. Kimmins (1938) presented evidence that the Archichauliodes dubitatus of van der Weele (1909) was not conspecific with Hermes dubitatus Walker , but was, rather, a misidentification of the taxonomic species Hermes diversus Walker, 1853 . Based on this situation Kimmins recommended that Hermes diversus Walker (a nominal species not originally included in Archichauliodes ) be treated as the de facto type species of Archichauliodes . Kimmins’ proposal has been accepted and adopted by all subsequent workers on the Corydalidae . Accordingly, we here fix (under Art. 70.3.2 of the Code) as the type species of Archichauliodes the nominal species Hermes diversus Walker, 1853 [the original combination of the current taxonomic species Archichauliodes diversus ( Walker, 1853) ], which was misidentified as Archichauliodes dubitatus ( Walker, 1853) [ Hermes ] in the original designation of van der Weele (1909).
