Euphaedra COOKSONI H. Druce, 1905

Annals & Magazine of Natural History. 7th Series. 16, 549–551 [550–551]. Combination still valid (see Ackery, Smith & Vane-Wright, 1995; Hecq, 1997).

Syntype, male, pinned. Specimen data: “2|1|03” [Handwritten in purple crayon]. “N.W.R.” [Handwritten in ink]. “ Euphaedra | cooksoni | Druce type” [Handwritten in ink] “ Rhodesia | Cookson | 1930-202 | 283” [Printed] on verso “ Euphaedra | cooksoni Druce | TYPE” [Handwritten (by Grimshaw)]. “Not in B.M.” [Handwritten in ink]. “TYPE” [Printed on red paper]. Remarks: This species, named by Herbert Druce (1905), in honour of Mr. Harold Cookson, was described from at least one male and one female. The present specimen from Cookson’s own collection is certainly part of the type series. The species is not included by Gabriel (1927) in the catalogue of types in BM(NH). This, coupled with the presence of the “Type” label (as opposed to “Co-type” label) suggests that Druce meant it as the ‘holotype’. though he did not refer to the specimen as such. There appears to be an error in the type description as the type locality is given as “N.E. Rhodesia ”, which is where Cookson collected most of the material. However the specimen bears a “N. W.R.” label indicating it was taken in North West Rhodesia!

Bebearia cocalioides Hecq, 1988 ssp. HECQI Holmes, 2001

Tropical Zoology 14, 31–62 [46], figures 8 and 9. Combination still valid (see Larsen, 2005).

Holotype, male, pinned (genitalia on slide CWNH 13 ): also allotype female (genitalia on slide CWNH 25 ). Specimen data: 1887 specimen: “Camaroons [sic]. [Printed] | 1887-1” [Handwritten]. “ Bebearia | mardania gp. | sl[ide]. CWNH (13)” [Printed]. “ B. cocalioides hecqi | Holotype | det. C.W.N.Holmes | Feb. 1999 ” [Handwritten (by Holmes) on orange card]. 1888 specimen: “ Cameroons. | 1888.97.1. [Printed] | 75” [Handwritten]. “ Bebearia | mardania gp. | sl[ide]. CWNH (25)” [Printed]. “ B. cocalioides heqi [sic] | Allotype | det. C.W.N.Holmes | Feb. 1999 ” [Handwritten (by Holmes) on orange card]. Remarks: These two specimens are unambiguously the holotype and allotype designated by Holmes (2001), and illustrated in Figures 8 and 9 (ibidem).
