Art. 6.2

This procedure of interpolating a species in parentheses between genus and species is very rarely seen, it is not really necessary to solve it in this form and it leads to confusion. The usual way to read such a combination O. (priamus) lydius (especially in an uncommented list of species) is to assume that the name priamus refers to a subgenus and was erroneously not capitalised. This happens much more frequently than usage of a specific aggregate. In early zoological literature some authors spelled genera or subgenera more or less consistently in lower-case letters, or at least this occurred frequently, so if these are cited as original combinations this reads usually O. (priamus) lydius.

The Example and Recommendation 6B should be modified. I would recommend to be more explicit and to cite the members of the aggregate by the notations "O. (superspecies priamus) priamus (Linnaeus, 1758)", "O. (superspecies priamus) lydius Felder, 1865", and "O. (superspecies priamus) croesus Wallace, 1865".

Recommendation 6B. Taxonomic meaning of interpolated names. An author who wishes to denote an aggregate at either of the additional taxonomic levels mentioned in Article 6.2 should place a term to indicate the taxonomic meaning of the aggregate in the same parentheses as its interpolated species-group name.

Explaining the usage of the parentheses at the first mention does not improve the situation because long lists of species are consulted as reference lists and nobody reads the entire publication including the long introduction when a few names are extracted from a list. It is more likely that database providers, Wikipedia authors or authors of subsequent publications will "correct" the lower-case to upper-case because they assume that a genus was meant: O. (Priamus) lydius.
