1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 191 : the same and others. 



Mr. Kirby suggests to mo that this name is probably hybrid (/5I(T, 

 palpus), and on that account ciianged by Felder hhiiself to Eurhinia 

 (q.v.), just as he changed Teinopalpus to Teinoprosopus. 



936. Rhodocera. 

 1829. Boisd.-LeC, 70 : Maerula, rhamni, Clorinde, Menippe (Leach- 



iana). 

 1832. Dup., Pap. France, Dhirn. Suppl. 386: uses it for rhamni 



and Cleopatra. 

 1836. Boisd., Spec. gen. 597 : employs it for the same species as 



Boisduval and LeConte, and for others. 

 1840. Rami)., Faune Ent. Andal. ii. 256: employs it for Cleopatra 



only. 

 1844. Doubl., List Br. Mus. 37 : follows Boisduval's practice in 1836. 

 1847. lb.. Gen. Diurn. Lep. 70 : suggests that it be used for the 

 American species placed in that work under Gonepteryx, 

 namely, Menippe (Leachiana), Clorinde, and Masrula of 

 Boisduval and LeConte's list, and a few others. See 

 also Amynthia. 

 1870. Butl., Cist. Ent. i. 35 : specifies Menippe (Leachiana) as type. 

 It cannot be taken for rhamni and allies, as Duponchel's action 

 would require, because they were reserved for Colias as early as 1810. 

 We may therefore follow Doubleday (1847), through Butler, in con- 

 sidering Menippe as the type. 



937. Rhopalocampta. 



1857. Wallengr., Rhop. Caffr. 47 : Forestall (Florestan), Valmaran, 



Keithloa. 



1858. lb., K. Vet. Akad. Forh. xv. 81 : employs it for Forestan 



(Florestan) only, which thereby becomes the type. 



938. RiODixA. 



1851. "Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 430 : Lysippus. Sole species, and 

 therefore type. 

 Thus used, for this species only, by Bates and Kirby. See Erycina. 



939. RiPUEus.* 



1832-33. Swains., Zool. 111. ii. 131 : Dasycephalus. Sole species, 

 and therefore type. 

 Tlie name will fall because derived from a spccjes of Drury's 

 (Ripheus), with which this is directly compared. ^Moreover, it is prob- 

 ably a fictitious insect, having the appearance of a Uranian to which 

 clubbed antenna; have been artificially attaclied.
