As originally published, the specific name of the type-species appeared in the form "l'her- 

 minier ". Under the current revised Code the form so adopted is defective in two respects. 

 First, Article 27 provides that zoological names shall bear no diacritic or other marks. Thus, 

 the apostrophe between the letters " 1 " and " h " at the beginning of this name is incorrect 

 and should be removed. Second, Article 31 provides that, where a specific name is based on a 

 modern patronymic, that patronymic must be Latinized by the addition of a termination, 

 indicating that the word is in the genitive case, the form of the termination naturally depend- 

 ing on whether the person whose name is taken as the base for the specific name is a man or a 

 woman. Accordingly, in the present case the letter " i " should be added to the end of the 

 word. Errors of both the foregoing types are subject to automatic correction. The correct 

 form of this specific name is therefore " lherminieri ".

NEADOPAEA Hayward, 1941, Rev. Mus. La Plata (n.s.), Zool. 2 : 285. Type-species by 

 original designation : Apaustus prittwitzi Plotz, 1884, Stett. ent. Ztg 45 : 165. 



The case of this name is bound up with that of Adopaeoides Godman, [1900], the name of a 

 genus based upon a misidentified type-species. As has already been explained, Godman 

 designated the nominal species Ancyloxypha simplex Felder (C), 1869, to be the type-species 

 of his genus Adopaeoides, but at the same time provided the clearest evidence that he had 

 misidentified the above species and that the species to which he had inadvertently applied 

 that name was in fact Apaustus prittwitzi Plotz. The Commission has been asked to use its 

 powers under Article 70(a) to give effect to Godman's intentions by designating that species 

 to be the type-species of Adopaeoides. Further, in accordance with the provisions of Article 

 80 (which prescribes that, where a name is submitted to the Commission and its position is 

 therefore sub judice, existing usage is to be maintained) Apaustus prittwitzi has been treated 

 as being the type-species of the genus Adopaeoides. The position is therefore that, though at 

 present Neadopaea Hayward is the oldest available generic name applicable to the nominal 

 species Apaustus prittwitzi, it will become invalid as a junior objective synonym of Adopae- 

 oides Godman on the grant by the Commission of the application submitted to it in regard to 

 that name. In accordance with the provisions of Article 80 the name Neadopaea is therefore 

 here treated as an invalid name for the foregoing reason.
