5 o FRANCIS HEMMING 



It was to prevent this situation from arising that in 1954 the Commission in its Opinion 

 232 (Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 4 : 249-274) gave a Ruling under its Plenary Powers 

 suppressing the name Apatura [Illiger], 1807, for the purposes both of the Law of Priority and 

 of the Law of Homonymy ; at the same time the Commission placed the name Apatura 

 [Illiger] on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 37. 



APATURA Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (3) : 35. Type-species by selection by 

 Hemming (1943, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 12 : 26) : Papilio bisaltide Cramer, [1777], 

 Uitl. Kapellen 2 (9) : 9, pi. 102, figs C, D. 



This is one of a number of cases where Hiibner appropriated a name published by some 

 previous author and used it as a name for a new genus of his own. 



The name Apatura Hiibner is invalid as a junior homonym of Apatura Fabricius, 1807. 

 The type-species selected for this genus made it objectively identical with Doleschallia Felder 

 (C.) & Felder (R.), i860. 



APATURIA Sodovskii, 1837, Bull. Soc. imp. Nat. Moscou 1837 (6) : 81 (an Unjustified Emenda- 

 tion of Apatura Fabricius, 1807). 



APATURINA Herrich-Schaeffer, 1864, CorrespBl. zool.-min. Ver. Regensburg 18 : 124 ; 

 1865, ibid. 19 : 101 (commonly cited as " Prodromus . .", the abbreviated title of a repaged 

 separate, 1 : 26, 75). Type-species by monotypy : Papilio erminea Cramer, [1779], 

 Uitl. Kapellen 3 (17) : 5, pi. 196, figs A, B. 



Herrich-Schaeffer's paper was published in instalments. In the first instalment published 

 in 1864 the name Apaturina appeared in a key without included species ; the descriptive 

 notes appeared in 1865 in the second instalment and it was here that Papilio erminea was 

 cited as sole species. 



APATUROPSIS Aurivillius, 1898, K. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl., Stockholm 31 (No. 5) : 

 128, 151. Type-species by selection by Bryk (1938, in Stichel in Bryk's Lep. Cat. 86 : 373) : 

 Apatura cleochares Hewitson, 1873, Ent. mon. Mag. 10 : 58. 



The type-selection for this genus was inserted in Stichel's contribution to the Lep. Cat. by 

 Bryk in his capacity as General Editor. 



The last syllable of the specific name of the type-species of this genus was spelled " -es " by 

 Hewitson in his description of this species and was correctly cited with this spelling both in the 

 index of new species and in the general index of that volume. It was misspelled " -is " by 

 Kirby in [1875 (Zool. Rec. 10 (Year 1873) : 382), and this misspelling was repeated by various 

 later copyists, including Aurivillius. 



APAUSTUS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (8) : 113. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio menes Stoll, [1782], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (33) : 215, pi. 393, figs H, I. 



APELLES Hemming, 193 1, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 79 : 323. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Polyommatus melanops Boisduval, [Nov. 1828], Europ. Lepid. Index : 13. 



APHACITIS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (2) : 19. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci. Boston 10 : 116) : Papilio dyndima Cramer, 

 [1780], Uitl. Kapellen 3 (23) : 142, pi. 271, figs G, H. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio dyndima Cramer is currently identi- 

 fied subjectively on taxonomic grounds with that represented by the older-established 

 nominal species Papilio lucinda Cramer, [1775] (Uitl. Kapellen 1 (1) : 3, pi. 1, figs E, F). 



APHANOPELTIS Mabille, 1887, in Grandidier, Hist. phys. nat. pol. Madagascar 18, Lep. 

 1 : 85. Type-species by selection by Hemming, 1935 (Stylops 4:2): Papilio horta Linnaeus, 

 1764, Mus. Lud. Ulr. : 234. 



This name is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Acraea Fabricius, 1807. 



APHANTOPUS Wallengren, 1853, Skand. Dadfjar. : 9, 30. Type-species by monotypy: 

 Papilio hyperantus Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 471.
