' Preoccupied in botany. Also a plural name, and therefore inadmissible. 



^ The name "Danaus" having been adopted in a generic sense by Esper, 

 Panzer, &c. for species of Pierina, previous to its adoption by Latreille in 1807, 

 the name " Banais" cannot be retained in this subfamily of Butterflies. (See 

 note to subfamily Euplmnce, p. 213, anth.
