The subsequent history of the name is as follows : — 

 1819. God., Encycl. raeth. 4G0 : uses it for all the Satyrids. 

 1822-23. Swaius., Zool. 111. i. iii.pl. 159: specifies " Hyperanthus, 



Galathea, Semele, etc.," as types. If the name could 



stand, Galathea would then be type. See Agapetes. 

 1832. Boisduval (loc. var.) : most of the European Satyrids. 

 1851. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 388: specifies Semele and Fidia as 



representative. 

 1858. Ramb.. Cat. Lep. Andal. 25: employs it for Arethusa and other 



species not given by Latreille. 



1867. Butl., Entom. iii. 279 : says that the " Satyrus of Godart 



cannot be used, as the type of that genus was Constantia 



of Cramer, — a species previously used by Hiibner as 



the type of his genus Hipio." 



Here are three errors, two of tliem based on the untenable theory 



that an author's first species must be taken as his type, which would 



be an ex post facto rule of great undesirability, and having no proper 



authority. 



1868. lb., Ent. Monthl. Mag. iv. 194; Cat. Sat. 59 : specifies Actaea 



as type. 

 1872. Crotch, Cist. Ent. i. 91 : erroneously refers the name back to 

 Fabricius [Satyri], and says that Latreille (1805) fixed 

 Megtera as the type. 



954. SCADA. 

 1871. Earb., Syn. Cat. 23: Phyllodoce, Leptalina, Reckia, Phile- 

 mon, Ethica, Theaphia, Xanthina, Zibia. 



As this name is proposed to supplant Salacia (q. v.), Phyllodoce 

 must be taken as the type, i^ee Oleria. 



955. SCALIDONEURA. 



1871. Butl., Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 250 : Hermina. Sole species 

 and designated type. 



956. SCELOTHRIX.* 



1858. Ramb., Cat. Lep. Andal. i. 63 : carthami, Alveus, serratulje, 

 onopordi, Fritillum, malva; (Alveolus, melotis), Galactites, 

 cynaraj, carlinag, cirsii, cacalise, centaureae. 

 The name falls before Hesperia. See also Pyrgus and Syrichtus. 



957. SCHCENIS. 



1816. Hubn., Verz. 28 : Cinxia (Delia, Cinxia). Sole species, and 

 therefore type. 

 Used in same manner by Stephens U850) and Kirby (1858). See 

 also Mellicta.
