More moths! And more to come.

[Painted Jezebel]

Quite right here. I happened to have the last volume of Moths of Borneo cotaining the Phaudidae , Himantopteridae & what is left over of Zygaenidae (a pity). It has an Anontated Checklist with the revised name.

Ambulyx moorei was named by Boisduval. Horsfield & Moore's revision placed Moore's name as the author of the revised taxon moorei.
Otherwise, Moorei cannot name a species after himself.

I agree entirely that Moore should not have named the sp. after himself (if he actually did, which I doubt, if my tutorship 45 years ago is anthing to go by, Moore was a very well respected entomologist in England). My latin is now rubbish, what does 'nec' mean with reference to Boisduval?
