730. Necyria. 



1851. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 432 : Bellona, Duellona. 



1867. Bates, Journ. Liun. Soc. Loud. ix. 428 : the same and others. 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 302 : follows Bates. 



Bellona, being the species figured, may be taken as the type. 



731. Nelone.* 



1870. Boisd,, Lep. Guat, 23 : Mandana (Mandana, Ops), Fatima 



(Fatima, Ovidius), Lucinda, Praxithea, Aurimna. 

 This name falls before Aphacitis and Emesis. 



732. Nemeobius. 



1827. Steph., HI. Brit. Ent. Haust. i. 28: Lucina. Sole species, 



and therefore type. 

 1847. Doubl., List Br. Mus. 2 : the same and another. 

 1851. TVestw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 419: Lucina. 



1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 284: the same. 



733. Neojl^nas. 



1858, "Wallengr., K. Vet. Akad. Forh. xv. 78 : Servilea. Sole spe- 

 cies, and therefore type. 

 But the species was inedited at this time, being first published, under 

 the same generic name, two years later. 



734. Neontmpha. 

 1816. HUbn., Verz. G5 : Phocion (Helicta), Cornelius (Gemma), 



Clorimena (Clerimene), Dorothea. 

 1844. Doubl., List Br. Mus. 137 : employs it for Phocion (areolatus), 



Cornelius (Gemma), and two others. 

 1851. "Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 374: uses it for twenty-five species, 



among them tlie two of Hiibner's mentioned by Doubleday. 

 1865. Herr.-Schaeff., Prodr. i. 59 : makes a similar use of it. 



1868. Butl., Cat. Sat. 35 : specifies Phocion (Helicta) as type. 



735. Neope.* 

 1807. Butl., Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. [3] xix. 166: Bhadra, Pulaha, 



Goschkevitschii (Moorei, japonica). 

 1868. lb., Ent. Monthl. Mag. iv. 195 ; Cat. Sat. 112 : specifies Bhadra 

 as type. 

 The name was proposed to supplant Enope preoccupied ; but it is 

 itself preoccupied through Neopus (Hodgs., Birds, 1844). Probably 

 some English entomologist (the passion for the formation of generic 

 terms by transposition seems to be strong in England) will propose 

 Nopca, Epone, Opene, or Onepe, to take its place !
