 Type-species by selection by Hemming, 1941 /. Soc. Bibl. nat. Hist. 1 : 415 : Papilio nereis 

 Drury, [1782], III. nat. Hist. 3 : index et 48, pi. 35, figs 2, 3. 



The name Antirrhaea was introduced by Westwood as " Antirrhaea Boisduval MS." in his 

 treatment of the genus Haetera Fabricius, 1807. That genus was divided by Westwood into 

 two main divisions, each of which was then divided into sections, these latter in turn being 

 subdivided into subsections. He did not himself give names to these sections and subordinate 

 divisions, but in some cases he inserted at the head of one of these units one or more generic 

 names, these names in some cases having already been published by other authors, in others 

 being manuscript names only. The present name appeared in this way at the head of the 

 second of his main divisions of Haetera, together with other names, of which Pierella, also then 

 unpublished, was one. 



The status to be assigned to names published in synonymies was a matter of doubt until 

 finally in the revised text of the Code promulgated in 1961 it was laid down in Article 11(d) 

 that names published in this way possessed no status in zoological nomenclature. In the 

 mean time in 1941 I selected Papilio nereis Drury, [1782], to be the type-species of Antirrhaea 

 as published by Westwood in 1851. This species was deliberately selected for this purpose 

 from among those placed by Westwood in his second main division, because it was already (by 

 selection by Butler in 1868) the type-species of Pierella Herrich-Schaeffer, 1865. The name 

 Antirrhaea Westwood, [1851], is thus invalid as being a name published in a synonymy, while 

 by the type-selection made in 1941 it falls in the synonymy of Pierella, of which it is an objec- 

 tive synonym. 



ANTIRRHAEA Boisduval, 1870, Consid. Lipid. Guatemala : 61. Type-species by selection by 

 Hemming, 1943, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 12 : 23 : Papilio philoctetes Linnaeus, 1758, 

 Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 465. 



Boisduval stated definitely that the name Antirrhaea was a new name of his own and it is 

 necessary to take him at his word in this matter. Accordingly, from the two species cited by 

 Boisduval as belonging to this genus, I selected (1943) Papilio philoctetes Linnaeus to be the 

 type-species. This species, it may be noted parenthetically, is currently treated subjectively 

 on taxonomic grounds as being congeneric with Antirrhea archaea Hubner, [1822], the type- 

 species of the genus Antirrhea Hubner, [1822]. 



As already noted, Westwood emended to Antirrhaea the name Antirrhea Hubner, [1822] ; 

 he treated the taxon concerned as a subgenus of Haetera Fabricius. Westwood's emendation 

 Antirrhaea was an Unjustified Emendation, but, as an Emendation, it nevertheless possesses 

 status in nomenclature (Article 33(a) (i)). The later name Antirrhaea Boisduval is therefore 

 invalid as a junior homonym of Antirrhaea (emendation of Antirrhea Hubner) Westwood, 

 [1851].

Gaede reported in 1917 [Mitt. zool. Mus. Berlin 8 : 401) that he had examined the holotype 

 of the nominal species Apallaga separata Strand and had found it to be a specimen of Ptery-
