Nomcndaturc of Lcpidoptcra. 65 



1803. Laspeyres (Neue Sclir. Nat. Gesell. iv.). 



Platypteiyx, P. falcataiia, Latr. (1810),=:Dre- 

 pana, Schr. 



1803. Lewin (Prod. Eut.) creates two new genera for Aus- 

 tralian species : — 



Phalrenoides, P. glycinai ; Cryptophasa, C. irro- 

 rata, &c.* 



1805. Latreille (Hist. Nat. xiv.) in describing the species 



at length, makes l)ut little addition to his previous 

 sketch. The su1)-genera of Papilio are elevated 

 to generic rank, and their names in some cases 

 changed : — 



Danaida (typ. plexippus) = restivus, Fab.; Pieris 

 (Schrank) = Danaus, L. ; Polyonnnatus = Ple- 

 beius, L. 



Zeuzera, Z. <esculi. Erroneously spelt Zcnzcra ; 

 luit he writes Zeuzera in the Dictionnairc, which 

 is contemporaneous, if not earlier. 



1806. Dumeril (Zool. Anal.) forms one new genus : — 



Heteropterus, H. speculum, Rott. The type of 

 this is gathered from his later works. 



1807. Fabricius (111. Mag. d. Ent. vi.) has given, through 



Illiger, a synopsis of the new genera from his 

 unpublished work entitled, " Systema Glossa- 

 torm." It fortunately extends only to the end 

 of the Crepuscularia, and contains 49 genera. 

 Two or three species are generally cited as types ; 

 and he has re-named all his old sub-genera, irres- 

 pective of the fact that they had been raised to 

 generic rank Ijy Latreille. 



1. Urania, P. Leilus, Latr. (1810). 



2. Amathusia, P. Phidippus. 

 4. Zelima, P. Pylades. 



0. Morpho, P. Achilles, Wcstw. (1850). 



6. Cethosia, P. Cydippe, Latr. (1810). 



7. Castnia, P. Icarus, Latr. (1810). 



* AVlien several species are cited, without distinguishing the type, I 

 have eited the first, appending &c. to it.
