60 FRANCIS HEMMING 



Arisbe Hiibner, is so treated here, pending a decision by the Commission on the application 

 referred to above. 



ARITA Evans, 1955, Cat. Amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 89, 162. Type-species by original 

 designation : Cobalus arita Schaus, 1902, Proc. U.S. nat. Mus. 24 : 331. 



ARLETTA Hemming, 1935, Stylops 4 : 3. Type-species through Section (i) (replacement 

 names) of Article 67 : Polyommatus vardhana Moore, [1875], Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 

 1874 (4) : 572, pi. 66, fig. 5. 



I introduced this name as a replacement for Moorea Toxopeus, 1927, which is invalid under 

 the Law of Homonymy. 



ARMANDIA Blanchard, 1871, C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris 72 : 809, nota 3. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Armandia thaidina Blanchard, 1871, ibid. 73 : 809, nota 3. 



This name is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Armandia Filippi, 1862 {Arch. Zool. 

 Anat. Fisiol. (2) : 215). 



ARNETTA Watson, 1893, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1893 : 72, 81. Type-species by original 

 designation : Isoteinon atkinsoni Moore, 878, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1878 : 693, pi. 45, 

 fig. 10. 



AROMA Evans, 1955, Cat. Amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 401, 458. Type-species by original 

 designation : Hesperia aroma, 1867, Descr. One Hundred new Spec. Hesp. (1) : 24. 



AROTES Westwood, [1851], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 450. Type-species by 

 selection by Hemming (1941, /. Soc. Bibl. nat. Hist. 1 : 434) : Aricoris (Setabis) myrtis 

 Westwood [1851], in Doubleday, ibid. (2) : 450, nota. 



The name Arotes was introduced by Westwood in the synonymy of Setabis Westwood as 

 " Arotes Boisd. MS.". At a time when it was still uncertain what treatment should be accord- 

 ed to names published in synonymies in this way I selected (1941) Aricoris (Setabis) myrtis 

 Westwood, one of the species placed by Westwood in Setabis and therefore in Arotes, to be the 

 type-species of Arotes, thereby making Arotes a junior objective synonym of Setabis. Since 

 the foregoing type-selection was made, a provision has been inserted in the Code (Article 

 11(d)) ruling that the publication of a name in a synonymy does not confer upon it the status of 

 availability. Thus the name A rotes Westwood has been invalid from the time of its publication. 

 Even if the name Arotes, when published in 1851, had not been published in the synonymy of 

 another name and even if it were not a junior objective synonym of an older name, it would 

 still have been invalid, for it is a junior homonym of the name Arotes Gravenhorst, 1829 

 (Ichneum. Europ. 1 (Conspectus) : 64). 



AROTIS Mabille, 1904, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 17 (C) : 151. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Arotis sirene Mabille, 1904, ibid. 17 (C) : 151. 



ARPIDEA Duncan, 1837, in Jardine's Nat. Libr., Ent. 5 (Foreign Butts) : 180. Type-species 

 by monotypy : Papilio chorinaeus Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 484. 



ARRHENELLA Waterhouse, 1937, Proc. linn. Soc. N.S.W. 62 (3/4) : 122. Type-species by 

 original designation : Pamphila mamas Felder (C), i860, S.B. Akad. Wiss. Wien 40 : 462. 

 Waterhouse expressed the opinion that the name Arrhenes Mabille, 1904, which he had 

 previously used for the genus typified by Pamphila mamas Felder, was not properly applicable 

 to that species, and believing there was no valid generic name applicable to that species, 

 he introduced the name Arrhenella to fill the gap. Waterhouse was correct in thinking that 

 the name Arrhenes as of Mabille, 1904, could not be employed in the sense in which he had 

 previously used it. For reasons which stem from a change in the Code made long after 

 Waterhouse introduced the name Arrhenella, the name Arrhenes is properly applicable to the 

 present genus as from Evans, 1934, Arrhenella Waterhouse thus becoming a junior objective 

 synonym. An explanation of the complicated history of the present case will be found in the 

 note given below for the name Arrhenes Evans.
