 The name Papilio achine Stoll is invalid .is it is ,1 junior homonym of Papilio achine Sc < >j >« .1 1 . 



1763 {Ent. cam. : 156). 

 The taxon represented by the nominal spe< lea Papilio achine Stoll is currently identified 



subjectively <>n taxonomic grounds with the taxon represented l>v the nominal species

Lepid. 1 : 572, pi. 18 ( pi, 2Q, and, as the name «< hine Stoll is objet lively invalid, is currently 



known by the name antevippe Boisduval.

This name was attributed by Doubledaj i" Boisduval, in whom in accordance with thai 

 author's common habit, it had presumably been distributed in man us, ripl It had not been 



published by Boisduval at the tunc of the appear. UK e of I toubleday's work 



The generic name Anthora Doubleday is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of 

 Euxanthe Hiibner, ' 1819], of which the same spec ies is the type spei i

This name is nonly cited incorrectly .is having been published in .1 work entitled 



Ncucs Lepid. .", but this is merely an abbreviated form of the title of the paper in which 



this name was published in the serial cited above 



Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 1 1 y) claimed that the name Inti- 

 gonis Felder was invalid inder the law >>t Homonymy, but none oi the names [Antigonus; 

 Antigona; Antigonia) is identical in spelling with Antigonis. In consequence, under the 

 " One-Letter-Difference "Rule (Article 56(a)), none of these names is a homonym of any of the 



others. Scudder's rejection <>i Antigonis Felder was therefore unjustified. Unluckily, it 

 misled Kirby (1871) into publishing the unnecessary replacement name Lincoya. 

 ANTIGONUS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 108. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Urbanus erosus Hiibner, [1812], Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : pi. [153 



Hiibner cited the specific names oi two species which he regarded as belonging to this genus. 

 One of these was the name erosus which, as shown above, was published (in the combination 

 Urbanus erosus) in 181 2 ; the other name was ustiis which was at that time a manuscript name 

 and which was not published until after Hubner's death [Antigonus itstus Geyer, [1832], Zutr. 

 z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 4 : 28, [124], figs 719, 720). Thus, as stated above, the nominal 

 species Urbanus erosus Hiibner was the only duly established nominal species placed by 

 Hiibner in the genus Antigonus and is automatically its type-species by monotyp] 



Butler (1870, Ent. mon. Mag. 7 : 98), not realizing that at the time when the name Antigonus 

 was published by Hiibner the specific name ustus Hiibner was no more than a manuscript 

 name, fell into the error of selecting that " species " as the type-species of this genus.
