GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 41 



have known of the publication of the name A mphiselenis. It may be concluded that the reason 

 why he decided to republish this as a new name of his own was that he felt that Staudinger's 

 rather ambiguous attitude, when introducing that name, was such as not to qualify that name 

 as having been validly published. 



The name Amphiselenis Rober is invalid both as a junior homonym of Amphiselenis 

 Staudinger, [1888], and as a junior objective synonym of that name. 



AMPHRISIUS Swainson, 1833, Zool. Illustr. (2) 3 : pi. 98. Type-species by monotypy ; 

 Amphrisius nympalides [sic] Swainson, 1833, ibid. (2) 3 : pi. 98. 



AMP1TTIA Moore, [1882], Lep. Ceylon 1 (4) : 171. Type-species by original designation : 

 Hesperia maro Fabricius, 1798, Suppl. Ent. syst. : 432. 



AMYCLA Doubleday, [1849], Gen. diurn. Lep. (1) : 223 Type-species by monotypy : 

 Eunice taurione Geyer, [1832], in Hiibner, Zutr. z. Saminl. exot. Schmett. 4 : 39, pi. [135], 

 figs 783, 784. 



Doubleday placed in this genus two other nominal species besides Eunice taurione, but 

 against the names of each of the two other nominal species he placed a mark of interrogation, 

 thus indicating that he referred these species to this genus only doubtfully. This action of 

 Doubleday's rendered both of these species ineligible for selection as type-species (Article 

 67(h)). E. taurione, as the only nominal species unequivocally placed in this genus by 

 Doubleday, accordingly becomes automatically its type-species by monotypy. 



The name Amycla Doubleday is invalid as it is a junior homonym of Amycla Rafinesque, 

 1815 (Analyse de la Nature : 118). 



AMYNTHIA Swainson, 1831, Zool. Illustr. (2) 2 : pi. 65 Trecte 63]. Type Bpei iea by original 



designation : Papilio maerula Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 479. 



The specific name of the type-species was misspelled as " merula " by Swainson 



The generic name Amynthia Swainson is invalid .is a junior objet tive synonym of Anteos 



Hiibner, [1819] (Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 90), of which the same nominal species is the 



type-species. 



ANADARA Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Enid. 1883 : 317. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Salpinx gam eli a Hiibner, [1825] Sannul. exot. Schmett. 2 : pi. [10]. 



The generic name Anadara Moore is invalid as it is a junior homonym of the name Anadara 

 Gray, 1847 (Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 15 (178) : 198). It has also sometimes been said to be a 

 junior homonym of an alleged name Anadara Deshaycs, 1830 (Ency. mith. Hist. not. Vers 

 2 : 37), but reference to Deshayes' work shows that that author did not employ the word 

 " Anadara " as a generic name ; all that he did was to discuss the use of this word by the 

 pre-Linnaean author Adanson in 1757 Hist. nat. Sinigal Coquillages : 148 [recte 248], pointing 

 out that, as used by Adanson, it had been a denomination applied to a species of the " genre 

 Arche ", i.e. the genus named Area by Linnaeus in 1758 Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 693. 



ANADEBIS Butler, 1867, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (3) 19 : 50. Type-species through Section (i) 

 (replacement names) of Article 67 : Mycalesis (?) himachala Moore, 1857, in Horsfield & 

 Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East India Coy (1) : 234. 



Butler proposed the name Anadebis as a replacement for the name Theope Moore, 1857, 

 which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. The name Anadebis Butler is itself invalid, 

 being a junior objective synonym of Ethope Moore, [1866], a replacement name for Theope 

 Moore published by Moore himself in the year immediately before that in which the name 

 Anadebis Butler appeared.
