95. APATURA. 

 1807. Fabr., 111. Mag. vi. 280 : Iris, Bolina, Alimena. 



In 1806, Htibner (Tent.) selected Iris as type of Potamis ; consequently 

 Apatura must be restricted to the other two, which are congeneric, and 

 Bolina may be taken as the type. This, however, is not in accordance 

 with subsequent usage, as will be seen by the following : 



1815. Leach, Edinb. Encycl. 718 : gives Iris only. 



1816. Ochs., Schmett. Eur. iii. 19 : gives Iris and Ilia; but he was 



restricted to these from the nature of the case. 



1816. Hiibn., Verz. 35 : uses it for Bisaltide and a number of others, 

 none of which have any thing to do with the Fabrician 

 members of the genus. 



1831. Curtis, Brit. Ent., pi. 338: designates Iris as type. 



1832. Dup., Pap. France, Diurn. Suppl. 402 : uses it for Iris and 



Ilia. 

 1833-4. Boisd.-LeC., Lep. Am. Sept. 206: refer Idyia (Clyton) and 



celtis to it. 



1837. Sodoffsk., Bull. Hose. x. 81 : proposes to spell it Apaturia. 

 1840. Westw., Gen. Syn. 87 : specifies Iris as type. 

 1844. Doubl., List Br. Mus. 108 : refers to it Iris, Ilia, and Clyton. 

 1850. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 302 : regards Iris and Ilia as types. 

 1861. Feld., Neues Lep. 36: divides the group into six sections, to 



the first of which he gives the name of Apatura par 



excellence, with Iris, Ilia, and Namouna (Ambika) as 



species. 



1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 259 : uses it in the extended Felderian sense, 



arranging the species in the same order. 



1872. Crotch, Cist. Ent. i. 66 : says Iris is type, on account of 



Ochsenheimer's limitation, overlooking the work of his 

 own countryman, Leach. 



This result is from want of familiarity with Hiibner's Tentamen. 

 See also Esoptria, -/Eola, Hypolimnas, Diadema, and Potamis. 



96. APATURIA.* 



1837. SodofFsk., Bull. Mosc. x. 81 : proposes this name as an etymo- 

 logical correction for Apatura (q. v.). 



97. APATURINA. 



1865. Herr.-Schaeff., Prodr. i. 75 : Erminea. Sole species, and there- 

 fore type.
