rendered available. Scudder was however uncritically followed by later authors and it was 

 not until 1964 that Cirrochroa satyrina Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1867] was placed in this 

 genus by myself and designated as type-species. The choice of this species was prompted 

 partly by the fact that it was in harmony with the diagnosis given by Herrich-Schaeffer in 

 1864 and partly because in 1867 Herrich-Schaeffer had placed in this genus what he called 

 " satyrina ", a name which had not been published. It may reasonably be concluded however 

 that it was the species which in 1867 the Felders established as the nominal species Cirrochroa 

 satyrina which Herrich-Schaeffer had in mind when he established the genus Algia. 



Normally, it would be most undesirable to bring into use a long-neglected name, such as 

 Algia Herrich-Schaeffer, for almost always to do so would involve the relegation to synonymy 

 of some well-established name in current use, but this is not the case in the present instance. 

 There are two names which are junior subjective synonyms of Algia Herrich-Schaeffer. 

 These are : Paduca Moore, [Nov.] 1886, and Ducapa Moore, [1900]. The name Ducapa was 

 introduced by Moore as a replacement for Pachtca, which he regarded as being invalid under 

 the Law of Homonymy, as being a junior homonym of Paduka Distant, [April] 1886 (a name 

 bestowed upon a genus of Hesperiids). The genus has since been generally known by the 

 name Dncapa but this name is invalid, for under the " One Letter Difference " Rule now 

 embodied in Article 56(a) Paduca Moore is not a homonym of Paduka Distant and is an 

 available name. The name Paduca Moore has not, however, as yet been brought into use in 

 place of Dncapa and in these circumstances it does not appear that there would be any ground 

 for asking the Commission to suppress the name Algia ; for the result would only serve to 

 make way for the name Paduca Moore, a name which (as already explained) is not in use and 

 which has been compromised though having been (incorrectly) rejected under the Law of 

 Homonymy. 



ALLANCASTRIA Bryk, 1934, t> as Tierreich 64 : 19, 61-62. Type-species by original desig- 

 nation : Thais cerisyi correction of [cerisy] Godart, 1822, Mim. Soc. linn. Paris 2 : 234, 

 pi. 20, figs 3, 4. 



The name Allancastria first appeared in print in 1932 (Parnassiana 2 (6/8) : 104) in a paper 

 by Bryk, but it is invalid as from the date of being so published, for Bryk provided no generic 

 diagnosis and designated no type-species, both essential requirements for a generic name 

 published after the close of 1930 (Article 13).
