107. Appias. 



1816. Hubn., Yerz. 91 : Zelmira, Achine. 



As Achine is needed as type of Anthopsyclie, Zelmira may be con- 

 sidered the type of tliis group. 



108. Aprotopos.* [Aprotopus in Index.] 



1871. Kirb., Syo. Cat. 19: ^desia, Ceto, Melantho, Pytho. 



^Edesia being the necessary type of Xanthocleis, this name must 

 fall, unless one of the other species should prove generically distinct. 



109. Araschnia. 

 1816. Iliibn., Verz. 37: Levana (Levana, Prorsa). Sole species, 

 and therefore type. 



110. Arcas.* 



1832-33. Swains., Zool. III. ii. 88 : imperlalis. Sole species, and 

 therefore type. 

 Must this name fall before Evenus ? (q. v.) 



111. Archox. 



1822. IlUbn., Syst.-Alph. Yerz. : Machaon (Machaon, Sphyrus), 

 Medisicaste, Mnemosyne, Phcsbus, Podalirius (Poda- 

 lyrius), Polyxena, Rumina, Apollinus (Thia). 

 Apollinus may be taken as the type. See Doritis. 



112. Archonias. 



1825. Hiibn., Zutr. iii. 19: Tereas ' (Marcias). Sole species, and 

 therefore type. See Euterpe. 



113. AfeESTA. 



1820. Dalm. in Billb., Enum. Ins. 79: Amestris, Idalia, Ariadne, As- 

 terie, Cloantha, Laomedia. 

 Laomedia may be selected as the type of this genus. 



114. Arge.* 



1816. Hiibn., Yerz. 00: occitanica (Psyche), Arge (Amphitrite), 

 Thetis (Inis), Eussite (Clotho), Lachesis, Galathea. 

 This generic term has been used largely by subsequent authors 

 (Boisduval, Duponchel, Stephens, Doubleday, Westwood, Rambur,etc.), 

 alwa5's in nearly tlie same sense ; and Butler and Grote even cite occi- 

 tanica (Syllius Butl., Psyche Grote) as the tj'pe; but tlie name cannot 

 stand : first, because founded upon a name used for one of the original 

 species; and, second, because preoccupied in Hymenoptera (Schrank, 

 1801). See Agapetes and Melanargia.
