12. ACID ALIA. 

 1816. Iliibn., Verz. 31: Cybele, Aglaia (Aglaja), Adippe, Niobe, 



Niphe. 

 1850. Steph., Cat. Br. Lep. 13, 258 : uses the name for the three 



middle species, Aglaja, Adippe, Niobe. 

 1858. Kirb., List Br. Rhop. : employs it for the same and others. 



These, however, as well as Cybele, all belong to the earlier Argyn- 

 nis. Niphe may therefore be taken as the type. 



13. ACOLASTUS. 



1872. Scudd., Syst. Rev. 50: Savignyi. Sole species and designated 

 type. See Polygonus. 



14. ACONTHEA.* 



1829. Horsf., Descr. Cat. Lep. E. Ind. Co. (expl. plates) : Adonia 



(Lubentina), Alankara, Aconthea (primaria). 

 1829-30. Ib., Zool. Journ. xvii. 65: Cocytina, Coresia (Apaturina), 



Nero (Thyria). 



Being founded upon the name of one of the species included in 

 the group,* the name falls, and cannot properly be used ; moreover, the 

 name Acontia (Hiibn., Lep. 1816) is, perhaps, too closely allied. See 

 Adolias. 



15. ACONTIA.* 

 1847-48. Westw., Cab. Or. Ent. 76, pi. 37 : Siva (Doubledayi). Sole 



species, and therefore type. 



The species has, however, been made the type of the genus Neuro- 

 sigma (q. v.), and the generic name is preoccupied in Lepidoptera 

 (Hiibn. 1816). 



16. ACRJEA. 

 1807. Fabr., 111. Mag. vi. 284: Horta, Terpsichore, Bellona (Bras- 



solis). 



The first two species are Acraaans, as understood in recent times ; 

 the las*t, however, is a Pierid. 



1816. Hiibn., Verz. 92 : places five species under this generic name, 

 none of which have any thing whatever to do with the 

 Fabrician group ; most of them are Pierids. His genus 

 Telchinia corresponds in general to the Fabrician Acrsea. 

 Later authors have retained the Fabrician name for 

 this group. 



1872. Crotch, Cist. Ent. i. 66 : specifies horta as type. 



* The first citation is undoubtedly the earlier.
