883. POLTCIIROA. 



1820. Billb., Enum. Ins. 78 : Obrinus, Ancseus. 

 Obrinus may be taken as the type. 



884. POLYCYMA.* 



18G2. Scott in Feld., Verh. ZoiiL-bot. Gesellsch. TVien. xii. 490: 

 Felder says that Scott [iulitt. ?] proposes this for the 

 species, whicla Felder there places in Ilolochila. Felder 

 does not adopt the name, because it is not apjn'opriate for 

 most of the species. See also Erina. 



885. POLYDORUS.* 



1832-33. Swains., Zool. 111. ii. 101: Aristolochite (Thoas), Poly- 

 dor us, Polytes (Polystes, Romulus). The last two speci- 

 fied as types. 

 As the name is founded upon that of one of the species included 

 in it, it falls. Moreover, it is preoccupied through Polydora (Bosc, 

 Worms, 1802). See Pachlioptera. 



886. POLYGONIA. 



181 G. Iliibn., Verz. 36: Egea (triangulum, i. album), c. aureum, 



Progne, c. album. 

 1858. Kirb., List Brit. Rhop. : employs it for c. album only, which 



therefore becomes type. 

 1872. Scudd., Syst. Rev. 9 : specifies c. aureum as type, but incorrectly. 

 See Grapta and Comma. 



887. POLYGONUS.* 

 1822-26. Iliibn., Exot. Schmett. ii. : Amyntas (lividus). Sole spe- 

 cies, and therefore type. 

 The name is preoccupied through Polygona (Schura., Moll. 1817), 

 and is very close to Iliibner's own Polygonia. See Acolastus. 



888. POLYOMIIATDS. 



1805. Latr., Sonn. Buff. xiv. 116: betulaj, quercus, pruni, Boeticus, 

 rubi, Argus, Thetis (Adonis), Endymion (Meleager), 

 Corydon, Arion, Areas (Erebus), Cyllarus, Semiargus 

 (Acis), Argiolus, Alsus, Dorilas (Myopa), Phhicas, vir- 

 gaureas. CorN'don alone is figured. 



1807. lb.. Gen. Crust, ct Ins. iv. 206 : divides the group into sec- 

 tions, specifying a few, as follows : I. «, bctul£E, quercus, 

 and others not in previous list ; h, Boeticus, Endymion 

 (Meleager), rubi, Phla;as, virgaureaj; II. Argus, Cory- 

 don, Alsus.
