Butterflies related to Rothschild's family

[ron]

Hello, 
I'm trying to create a list of the butterflies described by a Rothschild. ex. O. chimaera (Rothschild, 1904)

Also i'm trying to create a list of the butterflies named after Rothschild. ex. P. ulysses rothschildianus (Fruhstorfer, 1909)

I have already found out most of the sp. and ssp. related to Rothschild in the Achillides subgenus and among Birdwings.

Do anyone knows some other leps related to this family? 

Many thanks!
Ron

Dear ron, the list of described species by Rothschild is almost infinite. I will send you the list of Delias soon.

In the butterflies named after him,, you can add Delias rothschildi, Holland 1900.

Note that the last entry for each taxon in both lists is the status in the original description and does not reflect the current status of the name.

[Adam Cotton]

I should also point out that the genus name is that in which the taxon was originally described, not necessarily the currently accepted genus for the taxon.

If the last entry is 'Nomen Nudum' or 'Infrasubspecies' the name is unavailable. Some of the names in the list are junior homonyms, and thus not available either; and some are junior synonyms, which while remaining available names are not the valid names for the relevant taxa.

Adam.

[bugboys3]

Adam, I hope you cut and pasted that list and not typed it all out.

[Adam Cotton]

Luckily I didn't have to type it all, but there was a lot of editing to get the formatting right. It took over an hour to do.

Adam.

PS. I forgot to mention that I had to constitute these lists from a database, rather than just copy and paste an existing list.

[trehopr1]

Adam,your list is certainly a very impressive one. But, with that being said is it really fair or honestly believable to think Lord Rothschild deserves the " Lions share " of credit in naming ( describing ) all these new species / subspecies etc.? It leads people to believe that this Super-rich aristocrate / entrepreneur son of a banking family was some kind of scholarly giant of lepidopteran systematics. I myself don't believe it for a minute as it is well known that Karl Jordan his personal curator of his immense "financed" collection was the true "genius" behind anything published with Rothchilds name on it !
Karl Jordan is the true "giant" in this mis-carriage of nomenclatural injustice. I suppose that's a mouthful but, I believe that to be the truth ! By your own admission in another thread you mentioned that Karl Jordan is the one scientific great whom you personally admire the most --- particularly for his work in lepidopteran systematics.
So why is it then that more than 100 years after these two men have been gone proper credit has still not been given to the individual most deserving of it. Instead, the rich guy who basically paid for the collection AND paid for another man's expertise, time, and scholarly work still has his name pasted on anything associated with him or his collection ! Maybe, I'm just a fool to think things of this sort will ever change for the right....
I sight for you just another case of this same sorted thing happening. I have a now rare book of North American Catocala moths (with beautiful plates) which was done by Barnes/ McDunnough. William Barnes was a wealthy surgeon in Decatur Illinois who over the years built up a large (and probably the best collection at the time) of North American Lepidoptera which he housed in 1200 large sized cases. This fellow had the money to separately house his collection in a separate building away from his home. It was really more of his personal museum than anything else. So anyway, he eventually "kicks the bucket" and the Smithsonian in Washington buys his collection for the then pricey sum of $50,000 USD. It still serves as the core of that institution's North American lepi collection.
So, sometime over the years he makes the acquaintance of James McDunnough who had received a doctorate in Zoology in Berlin 1909. Togather, from 1910 to 1919 McDunnough produced, with Barnes credited as co-author, an impressive volume of research on the taxonomy of North American lepidoptera. 67 papers in all....Although Barnes was interested and involved in the work of his curators, he apparently did little or no actual research. But, was given co-author credit as a courtesy that was due to one whose generosity in both money and access to his collections made the research possible.
This sounds very much to me like the arrangement Rothschild and Jordan probably shared. But, if I am wrong please clarify or elaborate. I still find it mis-leading (and contemptable) that the money man's name is recognized first followed by the one who really did the work.

Back in 203 while in Oxapampa, Peru my friend Jose Bottger had a very, very old postal rack. His great, great (I think that's the right number of greats) Grandfather would send specimens to Rothschild from this old postal rack. The R was actually a little wore out more than the other letters.
Thought it was cool.

[trehopr1]

Indeed, Lord Rothschild was a consummate collector of legend --- with the bottomless pockets to pay for anything endearing to his passion of being a lifelong naturalist. Lepidoptera were not the only thing he pursued as birds were a secondary pursuit of his. His own museum at Tring housed it all and then some... It has been noted his Lepi collection alone numbered some 2.5 million specimens ! He purchased things from everyone and had a network of dedicated field men who served him for many years -- especially with things new to science.
I myself do not know how much of a field man he was himself or if he really had all that much time for such endeavors. After all, he was still in charge of continuing the family business of running a banking empire. Our British members will probably know more about this than me. I still do admire Rothschild for having the passion, foresight, and monetary means of amassing a collection of such world scope at such a critical point in history ( when our world was still so little known ).
However, in the matters of pure science and research and genuine scholarly ability I believe he left that to his chief curator Karl Jordan as well as any other academics/ specialists he may have had working for him.
It seems back in the day co-authorship did not necessarily always mean the individual took an active part in the "original" research involved. As long as you nurtured it to some degree and in some manner than the "tribute" of having your name attached to the item was considered a fair trade off. In reality though, the bulk of the research involved really fell upon the shoulders of someone else in the shadows.

> Where exactly is the difference to science nowadays?

[nomad]

I believe that Walter Rothschild was a very knowledgeable entomologist, he had a great and passionate interest. He was at first a Coleopterist before moving on to Lepidoptera. He had a photographic memory who knew exactly where every insect was in his vast collection. I could not imagine how entomology would have progressed without him. He put his wealth to great use, having a network of world collectors. His collection is the most important that the British Museum ever received, it is a superb reference collection that has seen much use. He was a giant of entomology, the very best.

[58chevy]

Don't forget the silkmoth genus Rothschildia.

[trehopr1]

Nomad, there is no denying that Rothschild was a giant in Entomology (in his own right). My point is that he owes as much recognition to the people he employed in as much as he is "credited" with. He paid people to collect for him, and he paid others to write up papers for him describing all these new species. He surely must have been paying somebody all those years to laboriously spread those 2.5 million specimens. I don't think he employed Karl Jordan for that menial task as he was too busy curating the collection and describing all the new captures.
Yes, he had a great and passionate interest. Well, so do I. And you and many others... We only lack the monetary means he had to kick things up to a higher level. As to a "photographic memory" of his collection well honestly who's to say. A well curated collection will get anyone to the cabinet and within a few drawers of what you are looking for regardless of the collection size. I can say I know where all my stuff is. I'm sure you could say the same. But, 2.5 million is a whole different matter.
His wealth was put to a great use to be sure in that it helped to forward a fledgling science at the time. His collection is the largest and most comprehensive collection ever amassed by any one individual in history; and it has been studied and used extensively to this day. But, again he only achieved all this by way of the dedicated support staff and workers who for all time will largely go un-named and little known.
This is the way of things then and apparently some feel it is still the way it is now.
In short, Rothschild (for his part) contributed in part to all that is the Rothschild collection. His was the driving force behind it while others helped mold it into the great repository that we know it for.

And, here's another one. If anyone wants to talk about giants of Entomology or almost singular "Herculean effort" than let's talk about the American Museum in N.Y. For over 50 years Dr. Frederick Ringe was lepidopterist curator overseeing the enrichment, procurement, and expansion of that part of the collection. Aside from taking in (and perhaps purchasing) some private collections; he himself took many expeditions afield for weeks and maybe months for the sake of that collection. He added many thousands of things to the holdings and curated most of it. He had but one lone collections assistant who spread all the captured material over a period of no less than 50 years herself..... Just two people togather over a lifetime pulling togather a repository of lepidopteran grandeur that few other institutions can rival !

I believe there are different types of entomologists. Those that study them in great detail and are taxonomists and those that do the field work, sometimes they are both. Do not forget Jordan published over 400 papers, many jointly with Charles and Walter Rothschild and described 2,575 new species himself, with an additional 851 in collaboration with the Rothschilds. That is a lot of species to describe ones self and he is certainly one of the most esteemed entomologists. By employing Jordan, Rothschild gave him the chance to work with the most amazing collections that were daily being sent to Tring. I do not believe for one moment that in view of what Jordan described that Rothschild was taking all the credit. I believe you are placing too much emphasize on wealth especially when its used to good effect. Don't forget that Rothschild was forced to sell his bird collection at one stage because of lack of funds to the American Museum of Natural History !! As for being a field collector, he was mainly a taxonomist but both Charles and Walter Rothschild did do fieldwork, especially the former. Without Rothschild there might have been no Meek exploring those New Guinea jungles and a host of other collectors.
