Thunberg, 1791

[Kondla, Norbert FOR:EX]

Well of all the strange things --- browsing on the web it has come to my
attention that the correct authorship of a number of butterfly species
attributed to Thunberg, 1791 may actually belong to Becklin, 1791.  It
appears that C.P. Thunberg was merely the editor of "Dissertatio
entomologica sistens insecta Svecica" and Becklin was the actual author of
the butterfly names.  Naturally this is worth following up to see which is
correct. Does anyone have access to this ancient publication ?? If so please
have a look and drop me a line to explain which authorship is correct and
why. Thank you.
