Name

[edit]

Agonopterix alstromeriana (Clerck, 1759) [See "Note" far below about spelling of ("alstromeriana" verus "alstroemeriana")].

Type locality: Unknown, likely Sweden. (Said to be from Orchards "Pomariis" in Linnaeus, 1761: 348)

Typus: Unknown, possibly only image of Clerck

Synonyms

[edit]
  • PHAL. TORTRIX Alstroemeriana (Clerck); Müller, 1764: 53. Number 469. (REF. [?] emendation - unjustified See Note: below, but deemed to be a justified emendation due to prevailing usage? Or [?] Incorrect subsequent spelling, deemed to be a correct original spelling due to prevailing usage? Cited as "Müller Faun. Frid. pag. 53. N.46g Tortr. Alstroemeriana" in Treitschke, 1832: 256.)

(See also e.g. the much later explicit usage as Depressaria alstromeriana stating "alstroemeriana misspelling" in Shaffer (2008) Channel Islands Lepidoptera, p.188)

Note: The etymology can be an adjectival honorific for "Alströmer" who could be Clas Alströmer (a Swedish Naturalist and student at Uppsala of Linnaeus). Similarly, other species first detailed on the same image plate of Clerck seem to honour Peter Forsskål (e.g. see BHL Clerck, 1759: Plate Linnaeus, 1759: 531, while another can be for Pehr Löfling, etc. Two common rival spellings exist in the literature ("alstromeriana" verus "alstroemeriana") the latter in Müller, 1764, and later Linnaeus, 1766, etc. This can be due to later interpretation of the lettering choice (i.e. diacritic usage) by Clerck, leading to replacement of "ö" or "oͤ" with "œ" or "oe". Some perspective may be derived from ICZN guideline 32.5.2.1. "In the case of a diacritic or other mark, the mark concerned is deleted, except that in a name published before 1985 and based upon a German word, the umlaut sign is deleted from a vowel and the letter "e" is to be inserted after that vowel (if there is any doubt that the name is based upon a German word, it is to be so treated)." However, while the "ö" within "Alströmer" may appear to be an umlaut, the source can be clearly seen as Swedish rather than German (although indeed Swedish is part of Germanic language family), where it should be treated as unique letter, hence an interpretation of ICZN guideline 32.5.2.1 can be that any such amendment (e.g. with "œ" or "oe") is superfluous. However, such alteration of the name emerged in the earliest publications on the taxon, and has long persisted in the literature. It therefore seems likely a strong case can be made to prefer the spelling "alstroemeriana" due to prevailing usage.
