1836. Boisd., Spec, gen., pi. 6 B. : Hypselis. Sole species, and

 name falls before Symbrenthia (q. v.). 



601. Laparus.* 



1820. Billb., Enum. Ins. 77 : lihea (Sara), Erato (Doris), Phyllis, 

 Melpomene. 

 The name falls before SIcyonia, Migonitis, and Sunias.

 cies, and therefore type.

(Cleadas). 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 321 : the same. 



But this name cannot stand, because preoccupied througli Lasaea 

 (Brown, Moll. 1827) and Lasia (Wied., Dipt. 1824, and Hope, Col.

 and other insects not specified by Westwood.

and Ma3ra only. 



1851. "Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 385: employs it for the same and 



others. 

 As iEgeria is the type of Pararge, Megsera must be taken as the 

 type of this genus. Butler, in his Catalogue of Satyridze and else- 

 where, has sunk tills name under Pararge, apparently on tlie false 

 principle tliat the first species must be taken as the type ; and he has 

 founded on the second species of this list, and on others, a genus 

 Amecera (q. v.), which must certainly fall, unless some of its other 

 species are generically distinct from Megjera. 



605. Lasiopiiila. < 



1859. Feld., "Wien. Ent. Monatschr. iii. 325 : Cirta, Circe. Felder
