1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 191 : the same and others. 



Mr. Kirby suggests to me that tliis name is probably hybrid {()ia, 

 palpus), and on that account changed by Felder himself to Eurhinia 

 (q.v.), just as he changed Teinopalpus to Teinoprosopus. 



936. Rhodocera. 



« 



1829. Boisd.-LeC, 70: Maerula, rhamui, Clorinde, Menippe (Leach- 



iana). 

 1832. Dup., Pap. France, Diurn. Suppl. 386: uses it for rhamui 



and Cleopatra. 

 1836. Boisd., Spec. gen. 597: employs it for the same species as 



Boisduval and LeConte, and for others. 

 1840. Ramb., Fauue Eut. Andal. ii. 256: employs it for Cleopatra 



only. 

 1844. Doubl., List Br. Mus. 37 : follows Boisduval's practice in 1836. 

 1847. lb., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 70: suggests that it be used for the 

 American species placed in that work under Gonepteiyx, 

 namely, Menippe (Leachiana), Clorinde, and Maerula of 

 Boisduval and LeConte's list, and a few others. See 

 also Amynthia. 

 1870. Butl., Cist. Ent. i. 35 : specifies Menippe (Leachiana) as type. 

 It cannot be taken for rhamni and allies, as Duponchel's action 

 would require, because they were reserved for Colias as early as 1810. 

 We may therefore follow Doubleday (1847), through Butler, in con- 

 sidering Menippe as the type. 



937. Rhopalocampta. 



1857. Wallengr., Rhop. Caffr. 47 : Forestall (Florestan), Valmaran, 



Keith! oa. 



1858. lb., K. Vet. Akad. Forh. xv. 81 : employs it for Forestall 



(Florestan) only, which thereby becomes the type. 



938. RiODiNA. 



1851. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 430: Lysippus. Sole species, and 

 therefore type. 

 Thus used, for this species only, by Bates and Kirby. See Erycina. 



939. RiPHEus.* 



1832-33. Swains., Zool. 111. ii. 131 : Dasycephalus. Sole species, 



and therefore type. 



The name will fall because derived from a species of Drury's 

 (Ripheus), with which this is directly compared. Moreover, it is prob- 

 ably a fictitious insect, having the appearance of a Uranian to which 

 clubbed antennae have been artificially attached.
