Pinheiro, L. R. & Gaal-Haszler, S., 2015, Illustrated catalogue of Neotropical Ctenuchina, Euchromiina and Pericopina types (Lepidoptera, Erebidae, Arctiinae, Arctiini) described by Hans Zerny, with discussion on their taxonomic status, Zootaxa 3925 (4), pp. 505-535 : 527

jordani Zerny, 1912

( Fig. 50 )

Gymnelia baroni Rothschild, 1911: 28 . (preoccupied). Lectotype ♂ [by subsequent designation]: ECUADOR, Zamora, 3,000–4,000 ft (O. T. Baron); with six labels: “ Type ”; “ Gymnelia baroni Type Rothsch.”; “Zamora, Ecuador, 3–4000 ft., O. T. Baron”; “Rothschild bequest B. M. 1939-1”; “Kb-Dia-Nr. 306 B. Kreusel dok.”; and “BMNH(E) 1475613”. One ♀ paralectotype: PERU, Cerro de Pasco, Huancabamba (E. Boettger); with two labels: a locality label with the information above, and “Rothschild bequest B. M. 1939-1” (BMNH) [examined].

Gymnelia jordani Zerny, 1912a: 58 .

Gymnelia ottonis Rothschild, 1913: 470 , pl. 13, fig. 21; Hampson, 1914: 115 (unnecessary replacement name).

Current combination. Autochloris jordani ( Zerny, 1912a) , comb. nov.

Condition of the types. Lectotype. Wings slightly worn. Paralectotype. Left antenna missing, wings slightly worn.

Remarks. Gymnelia jordani was proposed as the objective replacement name for Gymnelia baroni Rotschild, 1911 . The latter is both a junior primary homonym of Gymnelia baroni Rothschild, 1910 —subsequently transferred to Dasysphinx Felder, 1874 by Hampson (1914) —and a junior secondary homonym of Cosmosoma baroni Rothschild, 1911 , transferred to Gymnelia by Hampson (1914: 119)].

The new combination for this taxon here proposed originates from the inclusion of the type species of Gymnelia , G. l a e n n u s Walker, 1854, in Autochloris Hübner , [1819], making the former a junior subjective synonym of the latter. The adequacy of this arrangement could not be evaluated.
