253. CHLOSYNE. 



1870. Butl., Cist. Ent. i. 38: proposes this name to take the place 

 of Synchloe Doubl. nee Hiibn. 



The original species of that group were Erodyle, Janais, 

 Tyrinthe (?), and Narva (Bonplandi). 



Erodyle, however, was -not described until 1864 by Bates (probably 

 using a MS. name of Doubleday in the British Museum). Tyrinthe 

 is still a MS. name, and was omitted from the " Genera," and therefore 

 the type must be either Janais or Narva. Janais as the older name 

 may be taken as the type. 



Coatlantona (q. v.) was suggested by Kirby for the same group. It 

 may not be amiss to remark that advance sheets of the portion of 

 Ivirby's Catalogue containing this suggestion were received by me in 

 April, 1870, and that Chlosyne was not published until September, 

 1870. Kirby's Catalogue was not published, however, before the follow- 

 ing year, and Butler was previously unaware of the intended change. 



254. CHORANTHUS. 



1872. Scudd., Syst. Rev. 58 : radians. Sole species and specified 

 type. 



255. .CHORIDIS. 

 1870. Boisd., Le*p. Guat. 33 : Peridia. Sole species, and therefore 



type. 

 Will this fall before Aeria? 



256. ClIORINEA.* 



1832. Gray in Griff., An. Kingcl., pi. 102, fig. 1 : Licursis (Xan- 

 thippe). Sole species, and therefore type. 

 But there is another species of the same restricted group which 

 must have been known to Gray, and from which there is scarcely a 

 doubt that he borrowed his generic name to append to his supposed 

 new species ; viz., Chorineus. The name should therefore be dropped. 

 It is also very close to Chorinus (Leach, Crust. 1825). See also 

 Zeonia. 



257. CHROMA* 



1832. Gray in Griff., An. Kingd., pi. 102, fig. 3 : lasilis (basalis). 



Sole species, and therefore type. 



It cannot be retained, having been preoccupied by Chromis, which 

 is used by Ilubner (Lep. 181G), and Cuvier (Fishes, 1817). See also 

 Barbicornis. 



258. CHRTSOPHANUS. 



1816. Hubn., Verz. 72 : Phlaeas (Phlseas, Timeus), Helle, Thersa- 

 mon, Gordius, Hyllus, Alciphron (Hipponoe),Hippothoe 

 (Chryseis, Eurybia, Hippothoe), Virgaureoe, Dorilas 

 (Circe).
