206 PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 



627. LETJCOSCIRTES.* 



1872. Scudd., Syst. Rev. 52 : ericetorum, Arsalte (nivea), Oceanus. 



Ericetorum specified as type. 

 The name falls before Heliopetes. 



628. LEUCOTHYRIS.* 



1870. Boisd., Lep. Guat. 32 : Ilerdina. Sole species, and therefore 



type. 



This name is too close to Leucothyreus (MacL., Col. 1819) to be 

 used. 



629. LEXIAS. 



1832. Boisd., Voy. Astrol. 125 : JEropus, Sole species, and there- 

 fore type. 



1861. Feld., Neues Lep. 36 : places this species in a first section, 

 Dirtea (Dirtea, Boisduvalii) in a second. 



630. LIBYTHEA. 



1807. Fabr., 111. Mag. vi. 284: celtis, Carinenta. 

 1810. Latr., Consid. 440: specifies celtis as the type. 



1820. Billb., Enum. Ins. 79 : changes the name, for no reason, to 



Chilea. 

 1828. Boit, Man. Ent. ii. 299 [Libythaeus] : celtis. 



It has been used constantly by all authors in much the same sense. 

 1872. Crotch, Cist. Ent. i. 66: states that celtis is the type, through 



Latreille, 1810. 

 1872. Scudd., Syst. Rev. 28 : specifies Carinenta as type, erroneously. 



See Hypatus and Hecaerge. 



631. LlBYTHINA. 



1861. Feld., Neues Lep. 49 : Cuvieri. Sole species, and therefore 

 type. 



632. LICINIA.* 



1820-21. Swains., Zool. 111. i. i. 15 : Melite. Sole species and desig- 

 nated type. 



Subsequently, in the same series (i. ii. 91 ; i. iii. 124), Amphione and 

 Critomedia (Crisia) are given. An allied species is Licinia of Cramer, 

 doubtless intended by Swainson to be included in the group, and from 

 which the name was drawn ; on which account the name should be 

 dropped. It is also preoccupied in Mollusks (Brown, 1756). See 

 Enantia. 



633. LlMENITIS. 



1807. Fabr., 111. Mag. .vi. 281 : populi, Niavius, Camilla.
