Nomenclature of LcindoiJtera. 65 



1803. Laspeyres (Neiie Schr. Nat. Gesell. iv.). 



Platypteiyx, P. falcataria, Latr. (1810),=Dre- 

 pana, Schr. 



1803. Lewin (Prod. Ent.) creates two new genera for Aus- 

 tralian species : — 



Phalrenoides, P. glycinai ; Cryptophasa, C. irro- 

 rata, &c.* 



1805. Latreille (Hist. Nat. xiv.) in describing the species 



at length, makes hut little addition to his previous 

 sketch. The sub-genera of Papilio are elevated 

 to generic rank, and their names in some cases 

 changed : — 



Danaida (typ. plexippus) = Festivus, Fall.; Pieris 

 (Schrank) = Danaus, L. ; Polyommatus = Ple- 

 beius, L. 



Zeuzera, Z. tesculi. Erroneously spelt Zcnzercc ; 

 but he writes Zeuzera in the Dictionnairc, which 

 is contemporaneous, if not earlier. 



1806. Dumeril (Zool. Anal.) forms one new genus : — 



Heteropterus, H. speculum, Bott. The type of 

 this is gathered from his later works. 



1807. Fabricius (111. Mag. d. Ent. vi.) has given, through 



lUiger, a synopsis of the new genera from his 

 unpul)lished work entitled, " Systema Glossa- 

 torm." It fortunately extends only to the end 

 of the Crepuscularia, and contains 49 genera. 

 Two or three species are generally cited as types ; 

 and he has re-naraed all his old sub-genera, irres- 

 pective of the fact that they had been raised to 

 generic rank by Latreille. 



1. Urania, P. Leilus, Latr. (1810). 



2. Amathusia, P. Phidippus. 



4. Zelima, P. Pylades. 



5. Morpho, P. Achilles, Wcstw. (1850). 



6. Cethosia, P. Cydippe, Latr. (1810). 



7. Castnia, P. Icarus, Latr. (1810). 



* When .several species are cited, without distinguishing the typi', I 

 have cited the tir;:,t, appending &c. to it.
