personally I won't agree to separate wangi and cynthia (=walkeri) to be different species. But according to the current classification proposed by Stefan Naumann and his fellows, the populations in China (including HK), Taiwan and N. Vietnam belong to Samia wangi.
Yes, I agree with you. Looks like they are all walkeri. But suddenly Wang, namesake of Taiwan Wang ?, get everybody in a whirlpool by this wangi name.
One more disgust with this authorship in naming a species. If we Chinese don't even know Wang is which Wang, God helps the gwailo. While there is a great diversity in gwailo surnames, that does not apply to Chinese/Japs. i think initials of first & middle names should be included.
NO, personally I wouldn't include first name when naming a new taxon after a person. It's simply too long and not easy to pronounce. When a new taxon is described, the author should explain where he gets the etymology, and the full name of the person would be indicated.
I have no problem that the new species is named after Mr. Wang either. The problem is whether the new species is really different from cynthia, not the etymology.
