* The synonymy of E. nianto, Esp., and E. lappona, Esp., are 

 disputed points, and require some explanation, but I have followed 

 Staudinger, whose views, I think, are correct. He says that 

 Scbiffermuller's names, having no means of identification by de- 

 scriptions or figures, do not give priority. Therefore, as Esper's 

 plate oi manto (1781) is uumistakeable, it has priority over pyr r ha 

 of Fabricius, Mant., 42 (1787) ; whilst pyrrha of Fabricius, Syst. 

 Ent. (1775), though older, is a different species. ilfa?i)^o being thus 

 preoccupied in 1781, the name cannot be used for another species 

 (No. 27 in my synopsis) by Fabricius and Hiibner, and gives place 

 to lappona, Esp., t. 108, 3 (1798?). Esper had previously named 

 varieties of the same species Castor and Pollux, t. 67, 2, 3 (1781), 

 but these names had also been pre-occupied for other butterflies 

 by Fabricius in 1777.
