218 PROCEEDINGS OP THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 



692. METHONA.* 



1847 (Oct.). Doubl., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 115: Themisto. Sole species, 



and therefore type. 



Subsequently used by Bates and Herrich-Schaeffer in same sense ; 

 but the name must fall before Thyridia, limited at the same time to 

 same group by Doubleday himself. Doubleday also, in the same year, 

 established a genus Methone for an entirely different insect. 



693. METHONE.* 



1847. Doubl., List Br. Mus. 4: Cecilia (Csecilia). Sole species, 

 and therefore type. 



1851. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 422 : the same. See also Table 



vi. and 533. 



Westwood changes this name to Methonella (q. v.) because preoccu- 

 pied by Methona, q. v. (Doubl., Lep. 1847), but both bear the same 

 date. If Methona was first published, of course this falls, and Bates 

 and Kirby assume this. 



694. METDONELLA. 



1852. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. Table vi. and 533 : Cecilia. Sole 



species, and therefore type. 

 Subsequently used in same way by Bates and Kirby. See Methone. 



695. METURA. 

 1873. Butl., Lep. Exot. 155 : Rurina, irrigata, intermedia, Virgo, 



Cipris (bracheolata, IS'eocypris). 

 Cipris may be taken as the type. Is the name too near Mitoura ? 



696. MlCROTIA. 

 1864-65. Bates, Ent. Monthl. Mag. i. 83: Elva. Sole species, and 



therefore type. 

 This name is very close to Microtus (Schrank, Mam. 1789). 



697. MIDEA.* 

 1867. Herr.-Schaeff., Prodr. ii. 16 : Genutia. Sole species, and 



therefore type. 



Used also by Kirby ; but the name is founded on one of the syno- 

 nymes of Genutia, and therefore falls. See Anthocharis. 



I 

 698. MIGONITIS. 



1816. Hiibn., Yerz. 12: Thales, Aoede, Erato (Erato, Crenis), 

 Burneyi, Thelxiope, Melpomene (Andremone, Ulrica, 

 Erythraea), Egeria (Issea).
