120 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 



120. Argtronome. 

 1816. Iliibn., Verz. 32: Lampetia, Phalanta (Columbina), Laodice, 



Paphia, Maia (Pandora), Hostilia (Orthosia). 

 1850. Steph., Cat. Br. Lep. 13, 258: uses it for Paphia, Aphrodite, 

 and Cybele ; but Paphia, the only one of Hiibner's spe- 

 cies, is tlie type of Dryas. 

 Should Laodice prove generically distinct from the species of the 

 genera Dryas and Argynnis, this name may be reserved for it ; other- 

 wise it will fall. 



121. Argyrophenga. 



1848. Doubl., List Br. Mus., Ajip. 31: antipodum. Sole species, 

 and therefore type. 

 Used in this sense by subsequent writers. 



122. Argyrophorus. 



1852. Blanch., Gay's Chili, vii. 30: argenteus. Sole species, and 

 therefore type. 

 So used by Butler. 



123. Arhopala. 



1832. Boisd., Voy. Astrol. 75 : Plirjrxus. Sole species, and there- 



fore type. 



124. Ariadne.* 



1829. Ilorsf, Descr. Cat. Lep. E. Ind. Co., expl. pi.: Ariadne 

 (Coryta). Sole species, and therefore type. 



1833. Boisd., Ann. Mus. Nat. Hist. 201 : specifies Merione and 



Coryta as types. 

 But, being founded upon the name of its original species, the generic 

 name must be dropped, and not be brouglit again into use. It is, more- 

 over, preoccupied in Arachnids (Sav. 1825). See Ergolis. 



: 125. Aricoris. 



1851. Boisd. in Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 449 : Cepha (Epitus), 



Tisiphone, Tutana, Constant! us, Theanus. 

 1868. Bates, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond. ix. 456: employs it for Cepha 



(Epitus) and others. 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 332: uses it in the same sense as Bates. 



Cepha, however, cannot be taken as type, for in 1856, through Pan- 

 demos, this became the type of Boisduval's genus Orimba ; nor Theanus, 

 for this is the type of Triehonis (1865) ; Constantius is too far removed 

 from the others to be looked upon as at all typical, so that the choice 

 remains, notwithstanding the action of Bates and Kirby, between Tisi- 

 phone and Tutana. We propose tliat Tisiphone be considered the type, 

 since it is illustrated by Westwood.
