161. BASILARCHIA. 



1872, Scudd., Syst. Rev. 8 : Archippus (Disippc), Astyanax, Arte- 

 mis (Arthemis) . Type specified as Astyanax. 

 See also CaUianira. 



162. BASSARIS.* 



1816-21. Hiibn., Exot. Schmett. ii. : Itea. Sole species, and there- 

 fore type. 

 1821. I-Iiibn., Index, 4 : Itea. 



The name falls before Vanessa (q. v.). See also Ammiralis and 

 Pyrameis. 



163. BATESIA. 



1862. Feld., Wien. Ent. Monatschr. vi. 112: Hypochlora. Sole 

 species, and therefore type. See also Pandora. 



164. BATTUS* 



1777. Scop., Introd. 433: Polydamas and a great number of 

 wholly unrelated species, divided into six sections. 



The utterly heterogeneous nature of this group may be shown by 

 noticing a few of the species from the first section, such as Polydamas 

 [Papilionides], Antiopa [Nymphales], Tespis [Rurales], and malvae 

 [Urbicolae]. Of course the name must be dropped in perpetuity; 

 moreover, Scopoli included in this group a species which he called 

 Argus, but which the Therisianer called Battus, and the name should 

 drop from this cause ; nevertheless : 



1858. Ramb., Cat. Lep. Andal. 85 : uses it for Sao. 



This was not even one of the many original species, although 

 (almost necessarily !) closely allied to some of them. 



165. BELENOIS. 



1816. Hubn., Verz. 92 : Calypso. Sole species, and therefore type, 

 as specified by Butler (Cist. Ent. i. 37, 50). 



166. BHUTANITIS.* 

 1873. Atk., Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond. 570 : Lidderdali. Sole species, 



and therefore type. 

 Falls, according to Kirby (in litt.), before Armandia. 



167. BIA. 

 1816. Hubn., Verz. 51 : Actorion (Actorieena). Sole species, and 



therefore type. 

 Used in same sense by Westwood, Herrich-Schaeffer, and Kirby.
