316. CTMOTHOE.* 



1816. Hiibn., Verz. 39.: Camis (Ainphicede), Althea, Aconthea. 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 251 : employed for Ca3nis, Althea, and many 



others. 

 Preoccupied by Cymothoa (Fabr., Crust. 1798). 



317. CYNTHIA. 



1807. Fabr., 111. Mag. vi. 281: I. Arsinoe, interrogationis ; II. 



CEnone, Jatrophse, cardui, Statilinus (Allionia). 

 1815. Oken, Lehrb. i. 737: employs it erroneously for Maturna, 



Cynthia, etc. 



1827. Stepb., 111. Brit. Ent. Haust. 47 : restricts it to cardui and 



Vellida (hamptsteadiensis). 



1 828. Horsf., Descr. Cat. Lep. E. Ind. Co., expl. pi. : cardui only. 



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



1841. Westw., Brit. Butt. 56 : uses it for cardui, Huntera, and Vel- 



lida (hamptsteadiensis). 

 1849. Doubl., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 212: restricts it to Arsinoe only. 



1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 152: restricts it to Arsiuoe and Erota. 



1872. Crotch, Cist. Ent, i. 66 : says jthat cardui is type, through 



Ilorsfield's action in 1828. 



Cardui would be type, but that it is strictly congeneric with Ata- 

 lanta which was previously (Latr. 1810) designated as type of Vanessa. 

 Arsinoe must therefore be taken as the type. 



318. CYRENIA. 



1851. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 434: Martia. Sole species, and 



therefore type. 



Should this name be dropped as preoccupied? Cyrene has been 

 used in Fishes (Heck. 1840), and Hemiptera (Westw. ! 1841). 



319. CYRESTIS. 



1832. Boisd., Voy. Astrol. 117 : Thyonneus (Thyoueus), Acilia. 



1833. Ib., Ami. Mus. Hist. Nat. 190 : elegans. 



It has since been used in the same sense by different authors, as 

 Doubleday, Westwood, etc. 



1861. Feld.. Neues Lep. 24: divides the group into two sections, to 

 the first of which he refers Thyoimeus, and to the second 

 Risa and Rahria. 

 Thyonneus may then be taken as the type.
