Hesca Budde-Lund, 1908b
Nomen dubium.
Type species: Not designated.
Species originally included:
1. Philougria nitida Miers, 1878: Peru or Guiana (6 �
syntypes, BMNH 1879:21).
2. Philoscia debilis Budde-Lund, 1893: Venezuela: Caracas,
La Moka (4 � syntypes, leg. F. Meinert, viii.1891,
BMNH 1921:10:18:2236-2239), St. Estéban.
Remarks: Budde-Lund (1908) united the South American
species Philoscia nitida and Philoscia debilis in the subgenus
Hesca (genus Philoscia). Van Name (1936) and
Vandel (1952) reported that Hesca is identical with
Ischioscia Verhoeff, 1928, but despite the priority of
Hesca they preferred to maintain Verhoeff’s name, because
the latter was accompanied by a description. Their
opinion, despite being contrary to the ICZN, had been
adopted by apparently all subsequent authors. Since there
are female specimens only, the identity of the species can
not be stated with certainty, and the names of both species
and, in consequence, also the genus name, can be regarded
as nomina dubia. Schmalfuss (1980a) pointed out that
C. SCHMIDT & A. LEISTIKOW
Hesca cannot be taken as a senior synonym of Ischioscia,
because the two species are not identifiable.
