We have felt some doubt whether Lemonias of the Tentamen or 

 Lemonias of the Sammiung was first published, but Huebner's statement 

 in the preface to the Verzeichniss to the effect that the Tentamen was 

 drawn up as a basis for the other work, leads us to the conclusion that 

 the Tentamen has priority, hence Lemonias becomes a nymphalid genus 

 and takes the place of Melitcea. This usage is not uncommon in the 

 literature. 



Hamadryas Hbn. Haplotype Papilio io Linn. 



1806. Huebner, Tentamen. Io sole species and therefore type. 



Io, urticcB and antiopa are generally regarded as congeneric, hence 

 Hamadryas must be used for the group, supplanting both Aglais Dal. 

 and Euvanessa Scud. 



Cynthia Fab. Logotype Papilio cardiii Linn. 



1807. Fabricius, IlL Mag. VI, 281; cardiii and other species. 

 1840. Westwood, Gen. Syn. 87, cites cardni as type. 



1872. Crotch, Cist. Ent. I, 66, also cites cardui. but the date of fixation which 



he gives is not in accordance with modern rules. 

 1875. Scudder, Hist. Sk. 152, says that cardui cannot be the type because 



"it is strictly congeneric with atalanta — type of Vanessa," a view which 



is obviously untenable. He cites arsinoe as type. 



Vanessa Fab. Logotype Papilio atalanta Linn. 



1807. Fabricius, 111. Mag. VI, 281; io, atalanta, urticce, levana. 

 1810. Latreille, Consid. Gen. 440, cites atalanta as type. 

 1840. Westwood, Gen. Syn. 87, cites io as type, incorrectly. 



As a result of Scudder's peculiar reasoning, or through some strange 

 oversight, Cynthia has had no place in our nomenclature. It imme- 

 diately precedes Vanessa on the same page in Fabricius work, and the 

 types as they were originally fixed are congeneric, so that we are forced to 

 replace the more common term with it. Pvrameis, type atalanta also 

 falls. 



Callicore Hbn. Logotype Papilio codomannus Fab. 



1818. Huebner, Verz. bek. Schmett, 41; astarte, clymena. 



1820. Billberg, Enum. Ins. 78; clymena, haplotype of Diaethria, thus fixing 



astarte as type of Callicore. 

 1875. Scudder, Hist. Sk. 130, in spite of previous use of this genus for species 



allied to clymena, cites codomannus {astarte) as type, and notes also, 



on P. 135, that Catagramma falls before it. 



We have sought some genus of which codomannus might have become 

 the valid type before 1820 but without success. Such an action would 

 constitute a valid fixation of clymena as type of Callicore under Opinion 6 

 of the International Rules, and permit its retention in the customary 

 usage. As the matter stands, however, it will replace Catagramma, 

 which is not represented in our fauna. Diaethria Billberg, type Papilio 

 clymena Cram, replaces Callicore. 



Celtiphaga nom nov. Type Apatura celtis Bdv. & Lee. New name for Chlorippe 

 Auct.
