922. Pttchopteryx.* 

 1857. Wallengr., Rbop. Caffr. 17: suhfasciatus (Bobemanni). Sole 

 species, and tberefore type, as stated by Butler. 

 The name, however, is preoccupied in Diptera (Leach, 1818), and it 

 was probably on tliis account that Wallengren subsequently proposed 

 Tliespia (q.- v.) in its stead. The name falls before Teracolus.

species, and therefore type.

1849. Doubl., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 202 : employs tbe name for these 



and others, placing them in two sections, both of Hiibner's

1850. Stepb., Cat. Brit. Lep. 11 : uses it for Atalanta only, which 



tberefore becomes tbe type. 

 But Atalanta is already the type of Vanessa, and both species are 

 strictly congeneric ; consequently this name falls. See also Ammi- 

 ralis and Bassaris.
