1848. Ib., ib. 165: Phalanta (Eurytis) and five others in three sec- 

 tions. 



As the figured species appeared six months before the text, it must be 

 considered the type of the genus, as indeed it has been virtually treated 

 by subsequent writers. The name is rather close to Atela (Dej., Col. 

 1833). See Phalanta and Messaras. 



141. ATERICA. 



1833. Boisd., Ann. Mas. Hist. Nat. 195: Eabena. Sole species, 



and therefore type. 

 Used in same sense by all subsequent writers. 



142. ATHENA. 



1816. Hiibn., Verz. 36: Peleus (Thetis). Sole species, and there- 

 fore type. 



According to Kirby (Syn. Cat. 220), this name is preoccupied, but 

 he does not state where. See also Petreus. 



143. ATHESIS. 



1847. Doubl., Gen. Diurn. Lep. i. 109: Clearista. Sole species, 

 and therefore type. 



144. ATHIS.* 



1816. Hiibn., Verz. 101 : Palatinus. It is not a butterfly. 



145. ATHYMA. 



1850. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 272 : Leucothoe, Aceris (Eury- 

 nome), Heliodora (Helicopis), Sulpitia (Strophia), opa- 

 lina, Sankara, Larymna, Venilia, Saclava, Vikasi, Nefte, 

 Inara, Melaleuca, Brebissonii. 



1861. Feld., Neues Lep. 32: divides the group into two sections, 



the first containing Leucothoe and Larymna, the second 

 Nefte, Inara, and Sulpitia (Strophia). 



1865. Herr.-Schaeff., Prodr. i. 67 : uses it for Leucothoe and La- 

 rymna only. 

 Leucothoe as the older species may be considered as the type. 



146. ATHYRTIS. 



1862. Feld., Wien. Ent. Monatschr. vi. 413: Mechanitis. Sole 



species, and therefore type. 

 Used in same way by Herrich-Schaeffer and Kirby.
