755. Nychitona.* 



1870. Butl., Cist. Ent. i. 34, 41 : Alcesta (Dorothea), Xiphia 

 (Niobe). The former specified as type. 

 The uame falls before Leptosia. See also Nina. 



756. Nymphalis. 



1805. Latr., Sonn. BufF. xiv. 82: (nymphales) Jason (Jagius), Antiopa, 

 Polychloros, van. album (v. album), urticae, c. album, Egea 

 (triangulum), Levana (Prorsa, Levana), Atalanta, lo, 

 cardui, celtis, populi, Sappho (Lucilla), Sibylla (Sibilla), 

 Iris (Iris, Beroe) ; (perlati) Paphia (Paphia, Valesiana), 

 Adippe, Aglaia, Daphne, Dia, Pales, Euphrosyne 

 (Euphrosine), Lathonia, Lucina, Cynthia, Aurinia (Ar- 

 temis), Cinxia; {satyri), Circe, Hermione, Briseis, Fidia, 

 Statilimus (Fauna), Actcea, Semele, Phaedra, Ligea, 

 Melampus, Manto (Pollux), Medea (iEthiops), Dejanira, 

 ^geria, Masra (Satyrus), Ilyperanthus, Tithonus (pilo- 

 sellse), Jurtiua (Janira), Pamphilus, Arcania (Arcanius), 

 Galathea. 

 As Latreille indicates the first of these groups as typical by giving 



it the distinctive name nymphales, any further restriction of the genus 



must be confined to this group. 



1810. lb., Consid. 440: Dido, aceris, populi, and Achilles are specified 

 as types. 

 Populi is the only one given in the previous list, none of the others 

 being even congeneric with any of the species then referred to the 

 genus. This, therefore, would become the type, had it not been pre- 

 viously taken as the type of Najas (q. v.). Latreille's treatment of 

 the group in his Genera (1809), and in Cuvier's Eegne Animal (1817), 

 is essentially the same as in Sonnini's Buffon. 



1816. Lam., Hist. Nat. An. sans Vert. iv. 24: employs it for the 



Satyrids only, but of course erroneously. 

 1823. God., Tab. Meth. 43 : uses it for Jason (Jasius), Iris, Ilia, 

 populi, Sibylla, Camilla, Sappho (Lucilla). 

 Jason had already been taken as the type of Charaxes, as Felder 

 has pointed out; Iris, and consequently Ilia, were removed to Potamis 

 in 1806. Camilla became the type of Limenitis in 1815, taking with 

 it Sibylla ; so that Sappho must be considered the type of this genus. 



1828. Boit., Man. Ent. ii. [Nymphalus]. 



1829. Boisd., Index, 16: restricts it to populi. 



1832. Dup., Pap. France, Diurn. Suppl. 401 : the same. 



1833. BruUe, Exp. Moree, 283 : uses it for Jason (Jasius) only.
