ARARAGI Sibatani iV [to, 1942, Tenthredo, Kyoto 3 (4) : 318. Type-species by original 

 designation : Thecla enthea Janson, 1877, Cistula ent. 2 : 157. 



ARASCHNIA Hiibner, [1819], Ycrz. bekannt. Schmett. (3) 137. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 117) : Papilio levana Linnaeus, 

 1758, Syst. Nat. (cd. 10) 1 : 480. 



Scudder erroneously treated Papilio levana as type-species by monotypy because the only 

 other nominal species {Papilio prorsa) placed in this genus by Hiibner represented only a 

 [seasonal] form of Papilio levana. This misconception does not however invalidate Scudder's 

 selection of Papilio levana as type-species. 



ARAWACUS Kaye, 1904, Trans, ent. Soc. Loud. 1904 : 197. Type-species by original desig- 

 nation : Papilio linus Sulzcr, 1776, Abgekiirzte Gesch. Ins. nach dem Linn. Syst. : pi. 19, 

 figs 10, 11. 



ARCAS Swainson, 1832, Zool. Illustr. (2) 2 (19) : pi. 88. Type-species by monotypy : Papilio 

 imperialis Cramer, [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (7) : 120, pi. 76, figs K, I 



ARCHAEOGERYDUS Fruhstorfer, [1916], in Seitz, Grossschmett. Erde 9 : 816. Type- 

 spec us by slid iion by Hemming (i960, Annot. lep. : 9) : Gerydus croton Doherty, 1889,

ARCHAEOPREPONA Fruhstorfer, 1916 . in Seitz, Grossschmett. Erde 5 : 553. Type-species 

 by original designation : Papilio demophon Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Xat. (ed. 10) 1 : 464. 



ARCHIGENES Fruhstorfer, [1914], in Seitz, Grossschmett. Erde 9 : 7N4. Type-species by 

 original designation : Abisara aita de Niceville, 1893, /• Bombay Xat. Hist. Soc. 8 : 40, pi. L, 

 fig. to ; 



ARCHIMESTRA Munroe, 1 «>4<y. /. .V. V. ent. Soc. 57 : 73. Type-spe< ies by original design 1 

 tion : Argynnis teleboas Menetries, [832, Bull. Soc. imp. Xat. Moscou 5 : 307. 



ARCHON Hiibner, 1822, Syst.-alph. Yerz. : 2, 6, 8, 9. Type-species by selection by Scudder 

 (1875, /'/<>< amer. Acad. Arts Set., Boston 10 : 117) : Papilio thia Hiibner, [1805-1806], 

 Samml. curop. Schm. ; pi. Pap. 124, figs 635-636 ; [1806], ibid. (Ziefer) : 60. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio thia Hiibner is currently treated 

 subjectively as representing the same taxon — at the species-level but not .it the subspecies- 

 level — as that represented by the nominal species Papilio apollinus Herbst, 1 708 {in Jablonsky, 

 Natursyst. Ins., Schmett. 9 : 156, pi. 250, figs 5-8). 



ARCHONDESA Moore, [1892], Lep. ind. 1 (11) : 270. Type spei ies by original designation : 

 Lethe lanaris Butler, 1877, Ann. Mag. not. Hist. (4) 19 : 95. 



ARCHONIAS Hiibner, [1827-1831], Zittr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 3 : 19. Type-species by 

 selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 117) : Archonias 

 marcias Hiibner, [1827-1831], ibid. 3 : 19, pi. [80], figs 461, 462. 



Scudder, erroneously believing that Archonias marcias was the only species placed in this 

 genus by Hiibner, stated that that species was the tvpe-species by monotypy. In fact, 

 however, it was one of three species treated by Hiibner as belonging to Archonias. This 

 misconception on the part of Scudder does not however invalidate his selection of the above 

 species as type-species. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Archonias marcias is currently treated 

 subjectively as representing the same as that represented by the older-established nominal 

 species Pieris tereas Godart, [1819] [Ency. mSth. 9 (Ins.) (1) : 38). 



ARDARIS Watson, 1893, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1893 : 11, 13. Type-species by original 

 designation : Pyrropyga eximia I lewitson, 1871, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1871 : 167. 



fn addition to establishing the nominal species Pyrrhopyga eximia in 1871 in the Trans, 

 ent. Soc. Lond., as shown above, Hewitson, published a description with accompanying 

 figures of this species in the same year in his own work (///. exot. Butts 4 : [98], pi. [52], figs 12). 

 The exact date of publication in 1871 of the relevant Part of the Trans, is not known, but the 

 corresponding Part of the Illustr. was received in the British Museum on 19th October of that
