A.PHARITIS Riley, 1925, Novit. zool. 32 : 70, 78. Type-species by original designation : 



Polyommatus epargyros Eversmann, 1854, Bull. Soc. imp. Nat. Moscou 27 (2) : 178, 



pi. 1, figs i, 2 9- 

 APHNAEMORPHA de Niceville, 1890, Butts India Burmah Ceylon 3 : 347. Type-species 



by original designation : Papilio orcas Drury, [1782], ///. nat. Hist. 3 : index et 46, pi. 34, 



figs 2, 3. 



This name is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Aphanaeus Hiibner, [1819]. 



APHNAEOMORPHA Riley, 1922,/. Bombay nat. Hist. Soc. 28 : 465 (an Incorrect Subsequent 



Spelling of Aphnaemorpha de Niceville, 1890). 

 APHNAEUS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (6) : 81. Type-species by selection by 



Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci, Boston 10 : 116) : Papilio orcas Drury, [1782], 



///. nat. Hist. 3 : index et 46, pi. 34, figs 2, 3. 



APHNIOLAUS Druce, 1902, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1902, 2 (1) : 117. Type-species by original 

 designation : Myrina pallene Wallengren, 1857, K. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl., Stockholm 

 (n.f.) 2 (1) (No. 4) : 3&- 



APHRISSA Butler, 1873, Lep. exot. : 155. Type-species by original designation : Papilio 

 statira Cramer, [1777], Uitl. Kapellen 2 (10) : 35, pi. 120, figs C, D. 



APHRODITE Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (6) : 95. Type-species by selection by 

 Klots (1933, Enl. amer. (n.s.) 12 (3) : 153, 194) : Papilio euippe Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. 

 (ed. 10) 1 : 469. 



My selection of Papilio eborea Stoll, [1781] (in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (30) : 120, pi. 352, 

 figs C, D) as type-species in 1934 {Entomologist 67 : 38) was made in ignorance of the fact that 

 in the previous year Klots had already made a valid selection of Papilio euippe Linnaeus. 



The name Aphrodite Hiibner is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Aphrodite Link, 1807 

 (Beschr. Nat. Samml. Univ. Rostock (3) : 159). This name of Link's was an Emendation of 

 Aphrodita Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 655), and as an emendation it invalidates any 

 later use of the name (Article 33(a) (i)). 



APHYSONEURA Karsch, [June] 1894, Ent. Nachr. 20 : 190. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Aphysoneura pigmentaria Karsch, 1894, ibid. 20 : 191. 



APODEMIA Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1865], Reise Fregatte " Novara", Lep. Rhop. (2) : 

 302. Type-species by selection by Stichel (1911, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 112B : 285, 287) : 

 Lemonias mormo Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1859, Wien. ent. Monats. 3 : 271. 



Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 116) sought to reject this name, 

 believing it to be a homonym of the older name Apodemus Kaup, 1829 (Skizz. Europ. Thierw. : 

 154), but this action was incorrect, as these names are not homonyms of one another under the 

 " One-Letter-Difference " Rule (Article 57(d)). 



APORIA Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (6) : 90. Type-species by monotypy : 



Papilio crataegi Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 467. 

 APOSTICTOPTERUS Leech, [1893], Butts. China Japan Corea (2) (Text Pt 5) : 630. 



Type-species by monotypy : Apostictopterus fuliginosus Leech, [1893], ibid. (2) (Text 



Pt 5) : 631, pi. 28. 



APOSTRAPHIA Hiibner, 1816, Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (1) : 13. Type-species by selection by 

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

 1767, Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 757. 



This name is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Heliconius Kluk, 1802, the two 

 genera having the same species as type-species. This name was placed by the Commission in 

 Opinion 382 (1956, Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 12 : 43-58) on the Official Index of Rejected 

 and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 385. 



APPIA Evans, 1955, Cat. Amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 300, 324. Type-species by original
