600. LAOGONA* 



1836. Boisd., Spec, gen., pi. 6 B. : Hypselis. Sole species, and 



therefore type. 



Subsequently used in same sense by Doubleday and Felder, but the 

 name falls before Synibrenthia (q. v.). 



601. LAPARUS.* 



1820. Billb., Enum. Ins. 77 : Rhea (Sara), Erato (Doris), Phyllis, 



Melpomene. 

 The name falls before Sicyonia, Migonitis, and Sunias. 



602. LARINOPODA. 



1871. Butl., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 172 : lycsenoides. Sole spe- 

 cies, and therefore type. 



603. LASAIA* 

 1867. Bates, Journ. Linn. Soc. Lond. ix. 397 : Meris, Cleades 



(Cleadas). 

 1871. Kirb., Syn. Cat. 321 : the same. 



But this name cannot stand, because preoccupied through Lasaea 

 (Brown, Moll. 1827) and Lasia (Wied., Dipt. 1824, and Hope, Col. 

 1840). 



604. LASIOMMATA. 

 1840. Westw. in Westw.-Humphr., British Butterfl. 65 : ^geria, 



Megsera. 



1844. Doubl., List Br. Mus. 134: employs it for JEgeria, Megoera, 

 and other insects not specified by Westwood. 



1850. Steph., Cat. Brit. Ent. 6, 254: employs it for ^Egeria, Mega3ra, 



and Maera only. 



1851. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 385 : employs it for the same and 



others. 



As jEgeria is the type of Pararge, Megaera must be taken as the 

 type of this genus. Butler, in his Catalogue of Satyridse and else- 

 where, has sunk this name under Pararge, apparently on the false 

 principle that the first species must be taken as the type ; and he has 

 founded on the second species of this list, and on others, a genus 

 Amecera (q. v.), which must certainly fall, unless some of its other 

 species are generically distinct from Megaera. 



605. LASIOPHILA. 



1859. Feld., Wien. Ent. Monatschr. iii. 325 : Cirta, Circe. Felder 

 remarks that the species resemble, in habitus and coloring, 

 the species of Pronophila of the group of Zapatoza.
