This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Dunford, James C., Austin, George T. (2007): Nomenclatural faux pas for Speyeria atlantis greyi Moeck, 1950 (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae). Insecta Mundi 2007 (17): 1-4, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5172467
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.
