260 PROCEEDINGS OP THE AMERICAN ACADEMY 



920. PTERTGOSPIDEA. 



1857. Wallengr., Rhop. Caffr. 53 : Flesus (Ophion), Motozi, Mokeesi, 



Sabadius (Nottoana). 



1858. Ib., K. Vet. Akad. Forh. xv. 83: Flesus (Ophion) and a new 



species. Flesus therefore becomes type. 



921. PTYCHANDRA. 



1861. Feld., Wien. Ent. Monatschr. v. 304 : Lorquinii. Sole species, 

 and therefore type, as stated by Butler and used by 

 different authors. 



922. PTYCHOPTERYX.* 

 1857. Wallengr., Rhop. Caffr. 17: subfasciatus (Bohemanni). Sole 



species, and therefore type, as stated by Butler. 

 The name, however, is preoccupied in Diptera (Leach, 1818), and it 

 was probably on this account that Wallengren subsequently proposed 

 Thespia (q. v.) in its stead. The name falls before Teracolus. 



923. PYCINA. 



1849. Boisd. in Doubl., Gen. Diurn. Lep., pi. 48 : Zamba. Sole 



species, and therefore type. 



1850. Boisd. in Westw., ib. 305 : the same. 



Subsequently used by Felder and Kirby. 



924. PYRAMEIS* 

 1816. Hiibn., Verz. 33 : Indica (Calliroe), Atalanta. 



1849. Doubl., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 202 : employs the name for these 



and others, placing them in two sections, both of Hiibner's 

 in the first. 



1850. Steph., Cat. Brit. Lep. 11: uses it for Atalanta only, which 



therefore becomes the type. 



But Atalanta is already the type of Vanessa, and both species are 

 strictly congeneric ; consequently this name falls. See also Ammi- 

 ralis and Bassaris. 



925. PYRGUS* 



1816. Hiibn., Verz. 109 : Syrichtus (Syrichtus, Oilus, Orcus), sidse, 

 Tessellum, Alveus (carthami), Fritillum, malvas (Alveo- 

 lus), Sao (Sertorius), Yindex. 



1850. Steph., Cat. Brit. Lep. 21, 262: employs it for malvae (Alveo- 

 lus), Syrichtus (Oileus), and alceoe (malvarum). 



1852. Westw., Gen. Diurn. Lep. 516: uses it for all of Hubner's 

 species and for others.
