GUILHERME ANICET FISCHER, PAOLA FREITAS DE OLIVEIRA, EDGAR BLOIS CRISPINO (2024). There and Back Again: On the Homonymy, Solution and Re-Homonymy of Pampa Walker 1854 (Hexapoda: Lepidoptera: Zygaenidae) and Pampa Reichenbach, 1854 (Aves: Apodiformes: Trochilidae). Zootaxa, 5501(4), 593-595.
Would anyone know what this is about ?
I assume this is about successive assessments of which of the homonyms is senior relative to the other ? (When names are homonyms, this is for ever, there is no 'solution' to this.)
I use [31] Mar 1854 for the work where
Pampa Reichenbach 1854 was introduced, and 11 Feb 1854 for
Pampa Walker 1854, but would love to know if there is something I missed.
My current notes :
Pampa Reichenbach 1854
Reichenbach HGL. 1854. Aufzählung der Colibris oder Trochilideen in ihrer wahren natürlichen Verwandtschaft, nebst SchlüsseI ihrer Synonymik.
J. Ornithol. 1, Extraheft, Beilage: 1-24.
pp. 4, 11:
Jahrg.1-2=no.1-12;Suppl.:Jahrg.1 (1853-1854) - Journal für Ornithologie - Biodiversity Heritage Library ,
Jahrg.1-2=no.1-12;Suppl.:Jahrg.1 (1853-1854) - Journal für Ornithologie - Biodiversity Heritage Library
This work was published as a complement to an “
Extra-Heft” to the 1853 (i.e., first) volume of
Journal für Ornithologie, which covered the 7th annual meeting of the
Deutsche Ornithologen-Gesellschaft, in Halberstadt, 11-14 July 1853.
“Cabanis Journ. Extraheft 1853.” appears in the footers of the first page of the gatherings (p. 1 and p. 9).
The main text of the
Extra-Heft is 120 pp long; the
Aufzählung is 24 pp long (1.5 gatherings), paged separately, and follows the main text in bound copies; it is listed as a “
besondere Beilage” at the end of the
Inhalt, on the last page of the main text.
Stated date on the title page of the
Extra-Heft “1854.”; on the last page of the main text, an announcement of the next meeting of the society was dated (date of writing) “März 1854.”
In 1860, Cabanis & Heine
T.3 (1860) - Museum Heineanum - Biodiversity Heritage Library cited many names from the
Auzählung to “(Mart.) 1854 “(albeit they also cited one,
Uranomitra, presumably inadvertently, to May); Cabanis had been the editor of the
Extra-Heft: in principle, he ought to have known.
Bonaparte did not use or cite any name from the
Aufzählung in a work on Trochilidae that was freshly published on 24 Apr 1854 (Bonaparte CL. 1854. Tableau des oiseaux-mouches.
Rev. Mag. Zool., sér. 2, 6: 248-257.;
sér.2:t.6 (1854) - Revue et magasin de zoologie pure et appliquée - Biodiversity Heritage Library ; a separate version of this work (Simon Raçon et Ce, Paris) was presented by Bonaparte to the
Académie (and said to be just published) on 24 Apr 1854 (
t.38 (1854) - Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des sciences - Biodiversity Heritage Library ); it was also noticed as published on 6 May 1854 in
Bibliogr. France (
Bibliographie de la France )); he adopted or cited names from the Aufzählung in a work that was demonstrably published on 29 May 1854 (Bonaparte CL. 1854. Conspectus systematis ornithologiae. Ann. Sci. Nat. (Zool.), sér. 4, 1: 105-152.; a separate ed. was presented by Bonaparte to the
Académie on 29 May 1854
t.38 (1854) - Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l'Académie des sciences - Biodiversity Heritage Library ); he can presumably be assumed to have received a copy of the
Aufzählung between the writing of these two works.
In 1854, Cabanis referred to the
Aufzählung in a text published in
J. Ornithol. and dated (date of writing) “Juli 1854”, in a way which implied that his readers had already seen it
Jahrg.1-2=no.1-12;Suppl.:Jahrg.1 (1853-1854) - Journal für Ornithologie - Biodiversity Heritage Library , specifying that it had been printed at Reichenbach’s own costs.
The
Extra-Heft, with the
Aufzählung (“120, 24 S.”), was listed among
erschienene Werke in the
Messkatalog of the 1854
Leipziger Michaelismesse Messkatalog ; the
Messe started on 1 Oct 1854 fide: Evenhuis NL. 2014. Dates of the Leipzig book fairs (1758–1860), with notes on the book catalogs. Sherbornia, 1: 1-4.

It was also listed, with the
Aufzählung cited explicitly, as having appeared in the second half of 1854 in
Bibliotheca Historico-Naturalis Bibliotheca historico-naturalis, oder Vierteljährliche systematisch geordnete übersicht der in Deutschland und dem auslande auf dem gebiete der zoologie, botanik und mineralogie neu erschienenen schriften und aufsätze aus zeitschriften ; it was noticed on 1 Oct 1854 in
Blätter für literarische Unterhaltung Blätter für literarische Unterhaltung ; listed in an “
Uebersicht der neuesten Literatur” on 30 Nov 1854 in the
Intelligenz-Blatt zum Serapeum Intelligenz Blatt zum Serapeum ; listed as having appeared in the second half of 1854 in the
Verzeichniss der Bücher, Landkarten [...] zu finden bei JC Hinrichsschen Buchhandlung Repertorium ueber die nach den halbjährlichen Verzeichnissen der J.C. Hinrichs'schen Buchhandlung in Leipzig erschienenen Bücher, Landkarten, &c ... ; and listed as having appeared in the third quarter of 1854 in the
Vierteljahrs-Katalog aller neuen Erscheinungen im Felde der Literatur in Deutschland Vierteljahrs-Katalog aller neuen Erscheinungen im Felde der Literatur in Deutschland .
Names from this work have been dated to 1853, but there is no clear reason to accept this. (Some distribution could, in principle, have occurred separately, before the publication of the main text of the
Extra-Heft, which cannot have been before March 1854; but evidence is, so far, lacking.)
