[Taxacom] Adelidae 1851 Bruand, or 1857 Herrich-Schaffer

Tue Feb 28 14:08:28 CST 2017

I don't know about this case, but often when cited dates differ by 1 year (e.g. Bruand 1850 vs. Bruand 1851), it is a result of confusion between imprint dates and actual dates of publication, Yet another pointless technicality to get in the way of the science of taxonomy! Neal Evenhuis seems to like this sort of thing (though he is also a good taxonomist as well!)

 I have not
 seen the information offered by Dr Landry, but note that in
 their "complete" treatment of Lepidoptera, van
 Nieukerken et al. (in Zootaxa, Zhang et al., 2011) give the
 authority for Adelidae as Bruand, 1850 (may be correct or
 incorrect, I have no other information).

 Dear
 members,

 I really appreciate for those who helped me finding and
 getting the right

 reference for the family Adelidae. Thank you Dr. Landry for
 your detailed

 information, too.

 As Dr. Thorpe noted, it may not be a big issue. In fact,
 searching for the

 first paper referring the family began only due to my
 curiosity: different

 citations for the family.

 Well, this is good enough, and I am relieved anyway from one
 tiny stress

 now.

 Sincerely,
