Name

Hasora discolor Felder, C. & Felder, R., 1859.

Type locality: "Brasilien"; later "Java?" (Felder & Felder, 1867), probably erroneous for Indonesia, Maluku, Ambon ("Amboina"), after Fruhstorfer, 1911, also Evans, 1949.

Typus: Lectotype female, ♀* BMNH [Originally said to be male, but subsequent type designation female after Evans, 1949]

Synonymy

• Hasora discolor (Felder & Felder, 1859); Meyrick & Lower, 1902: 123; Fruhstorfer, 1911: 64; Gerstaecker, 1862a: 453; Lower, 1911: 168; Seitz, [1927]: 1051, Pl.166f; Evans, 1949: 59; Bridges, 1994: IX.29; Common and Waterhouse 1981 [cited in Orr & Fliedner, 2011]; Chiba, 2009: 23; Orr and Kitching 2010 [cited in Orr & Fliedner, 2011]; Orr & Fliedner, 2011: 102; Toussaint, 2020: fig.1.
• Hasora discolora (Felder & Felder, 1859); Braby, 2010: 49 (appendix list); Braby, 2011: 67; Braby, 2016: 66. [Note 1: In Braby's (2011) paper on "Addendum and Errata", it states that although Orr & Fliedner, 2011 suggest discolor as the 'correct' spelling (p.102), Braby (2011) disputes that "since discolorus, -a, -um is an adjective and the genus Hasora is feminine, the correct combination is Hasora discolora". However, this counterview fails to recognise that the protonym is "discolor" as a third-declension one-termination adjective, where inflection of the nominative singular feminine remains unchanged as discolor. It is not originally using a different (or arguably neolatinized) adjectival variant such as "discolorus" with three-terminations. Any speculated intention about the gender favored by various authors is irrelevant to the protonym formation as an invariable one-termination adjective in the nominative singular]. [Note 2: Otherwise, if gender agreement is ignored (as some in the lepidopterist community do, treating it as irrelevant), then the protonym "discolor" would be retained in same formation as discolor].
