1867. Bates, Journ. Liiin. Soc. Lond. ix. 416: employs it for many 



species, including Philocles. 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 288 : follows Bates. 



685. Mesot^enia. 



1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 209 : Doris. Sole species, and therefore type. 

 Employed in place of CallitiEnia, preoccupied ; but it is itself very 

 close to Mesotena (Esclisch., Col. 1831). 



G86. Messaras.* 

 1848. Doubl., Gren. Dinrn. Lep. 103: Erymantlds, Alcippe. 



Subsequently used by Felder and Kirby, the latter for Erymanthis 

 only and its allies. But this name must fall, whichever species is chosen 

 as type. See Atella and Cupha. 



687. Mestra. 

 1822-26. Hiibn., Exot. Schmctt. ii. : Hypennnestra (Hypermestra). 

 Sole species, and therefore type. See also Cystineura. 



688. Metacharis. 



1867. Butl., Ent. Monthl. Mag. iii. 174 : PtolomEeus, Agrius, Cad- 



meis, regalis, Lucius (Batesii). The first three specified 

 as types. 



1868. Bates, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond. ix. 444: places nine species 



here, including Ptoloma^us and Agrius and other of 

 Bates's species, but excluding Cadmeis, which is placed 

 under Charis. 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 320 : uses it in the same way as Bates. 

 Ptolomasus may be taken as the type. 



689. Metamorpha. 



1816. Hiibn., Verz. 43: Sulpitia (Elissa), Steneles (Sthenele), 

 Dido. 

 Dido belongs to Colaenis, and Sulpitia may be taken as the type of 

 this group, since it is generically distinct from Steneles, the type of 

 Victorina. 



690. Metapheles. 



1866. Bates, Ent. Monthl. Mag. iii. 155 : Dinora. Sole species, and 

 therefore type. 

 Used for same species by Bates and Kirby. 



691. Metaporia. 

 1870. Butl., Cist. Ent. i. 38, 51 : Agathon. Sole species and 

 designated type.
