 1815. Oken, Lehrb. i. 737 : employs it erroneously for Maturua, 



Cynthia, etc. 



1827. Steph., 111. Brit. Ent. Ilaust. 47 : restricts it to cardui and 



VeUida (hamptsteadiensis).

lida (hamptsteadiensis). 

 1849. Doubl., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 212: restricts it to Arsinoe only. 



1871, Kirb., Syn. Cat. 152: restricts it to Ai'siuoe and Erota. 



1872. Crotch, Cist. Ent. i. 66: says that cardui is type, through 



Horsfield's action in 1828. 



Cardui would be type, but tliat it is strictly congeneric with Ata- 

 lanta which was previously (Latr. 1810) designated as type of Vanessa. 

 Arsinoe must therefore be taken as the type. 



318. Cyrenia. 



1851. "Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 434: Martia. Sole species, and 



therefore type. 



Should this name be dropped as preoccupied 1 Cyrene has been

It has since been used in the same sense by different authors, as 

 Doubleday, Westwood, etc. 



1861. Feld., Neues Lep. 24: divides the group into two sections, to 

 the first of which he refers Thyonneus, and to the second 

 Risa and Rahria. 

 Thyonneus may then be taken as the type.
