Chrysis from Ghana

Postby Brachytron » 29 Apr 2019 10:58

Kimsey and Bohart key led me towards Chrysis wahlbergi group (small teeth at the base of the T III tergite and metathorax projection), but I'm not convinced ... :(
Can anyone help?
(Chrysis iris size)

Best regards
Jacek

Hi Jacek,

your specimen is a female of Chrysis lincea (or better lyncea).
It's a common and widespread African species.
Beatiful pictures!

Hi Jacek,

yes, everybody knew that the original spelling was lincea Fabricius, 1775
nevertheless, that was an incorrect spelling and Fabricius 1781 emended the name in the correct Latin name lyncea , after that, in all publications only the emended name was in use.
Kimsey & Bohart 1991 used the original spelling lincea, but according to the Code it was better to preserve the current spelling; in fact, the correct name Chrysis lincea was no longer in use in the last 200 years, whereas the name Chrysis lyncea was used by more than 50 authors in more than 100 publications, making lyncea the correct spelling (ICZN 1999: Article 33.3.1) for some example see Madl and Rosa (2012):

Thanks for the explanation. However, despite this you use the name lincea (checklist China 2014). Do you want to restore the old name with the same code point :D

I'm not sure that I can do it now.
Kimsey & Bohart re-used the original name in the checklist, and I did the same, but not in revisions. Probably the first revisor of the group can do this, but very likely K&B can be considered as the first revisors anyway, because they also gave a diagnosis of the lincea species group. I have to check point this with my colleagues working at the text of the Code. Since there are several nomenclatorial cases, I want submit all cases together. The same situation in known for many other species, including European ones (e.g. Holopyga jucunda-iucunda, etc.).
We'll see in the next future.
