645. Lyc^na. 

 1807. Fabr., 111. Mag. vi. 285 : I, Acis (Mars), Echion ; 11. Argiades, 

 (Amyutas), rubi ; III. Endymion "(Meleager), Arion, 

 Corydon, Thetis (Adonis), Leda (Ledi), virgaureas, 

 Phhuas. 



1815. Oken, Lehrb. i. 717: restricts it mainly to the blues, referring to 



it all of tlie species indicated by Fabricius, excepting rubi 

 and the coppers, virgaiirete and Phlceas, and adding others. 



1816. Hiibn., Verz. 23: emjjloys it for Echerius (Xenodice), which 



has nothing to do with Fabricius's species. 

 1824. Curtis, Brit. Ent., pi. 12: designates Phljeas as type, but 



that is ruled out by Oken's action. 

 1828. Horsf., Descr. Cat. Lep. E. Ind. Co. 68 : restricts it also to 



the coppers, but, for the same reason, erroneously. 

 1828. Steph., 111. Brit. Ent. Haust. i. 79 : does the same. 

 1832. Renn., Consp. 16: the same. 



1832. Dup., Pap. France, Diurn. Suppl. 300: uses it for Bceticus and 



Telicainis, which belong elsewhere. See Polyommatus. 

 1832-33. Swains., Zool. 111. 132: also designates Phlagas as the type. 



1833. Boisd., Nouv. Ann. Mus. Hist. Nat. ii. 171 : uses it for Boeti- 



cus, Telicanus, and others. 



1836. lb., Spec, gen., pi. 3 B. : gives a figure of Bcetica. 



1837. SodoiFsk., Bull. Mosc. x. 81, 96: proposes to change the name 



to Lycia or Migonitis, preferably the latter. 



1839. Ramb., Fauna Ent. Andal. 262 : restricts it again to the 



coppers, erroneously. 



1840. Westw., Geu. Syn. 88: specifies Phheas as type. 



1847. Doubl., List Br. Mus. 40 : employs it for a great number of 

 species, including, of Fabricius's list, Argiades (Amyntas), 

 Endymion (Meleager), Arion, Corydon, Thetis (Adonis). 



1852. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 488: makes a similar but more 

 extended use of it, in which he has been followed by most 

 recent writers. 



1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 340: restricts it again to the coppers. 



1872. Scudd., Syst. Rev. 36 : again specifies PhLeas as type. 



No restriction of this group within the blues having been effected, 

 the genus may be confined to Endymion and Corydon of the species 

 mentioned by Fabricius, with Endymion for type. See Heodes. 



646. Lyc^nesthes. 

 1865. Moore, Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 773 : bengalensis Sole spe- 

 cies, and therefore type.
