164. Battus.* 



1777. Scop., Introd. 433 : Polydamas and a great number of 

 wholly unrelated species, divided into six sections. 



The utterly heterogeneous nature of this group may bo shown by 

 noticing a few of the species from the first section, such as Polydamas 

 [Papilionides], Antiopa [Nymphales], Tespis [Rurales], and raalvae 

 [Urbicolaj]. Of course the name must be dropped in perpetuity; 

 moreover, Scopoli included in this group a species which he called 

 Argus, but which the Therisianer called Battus, and the name should 

 drop from this cause ; nevertheless : —
