0017. Nomenclatural faux pas for <I>Speyeria atlantis greyi</I> Moeck, 1950 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Abstract

Nomenclatural errors associated with the nymphalid butterfly, Speyeria atlantis greyi Moeck, have persisted in the literature and electronic databases. We present here a synonymy of the various combinations and misspellings associated with it and clearly indicate the correct name and spelling based on Moeck's (1950) original description. Additionally, color images of the holotype and allotype specimens are published herein for the first time.
