This name was introduced by Mabille when dealing with the generic name Ocybadistes 

 Heron, 1894, in the synonymy of which lie placed it as " Arrhenes Mabille, in litt." As 

 shown below in the note on the name Arrhenes Evans, numerous attempts were later made to 

 employ this generic name for Pamphila mamas, one of the species cited by Mabille in 1904 for 

 Oi vbadistes ( = Arrhenes Mabille in litt.) in the ensuing period when it was still believed that a 

 name published in a synonymy acquired the status of availability thereby. All these were 

 seen to be invalid when a provision was inserted in the revised Code ruling that a name 

 published in the foregoing m inner (Article 11(d)) was not thereby made available. Under 

 tins provision the name Arrhenes Mabille, [904, possesses no st.it us in zoological oomeni lature. 



ARRHENES Evans, 19.54, Entomologist 67 : 206. Type-species by original designation : 

 Pamphila mamas Felder (('.), i860, SitzBer. Akad. Wiss. Wnn 40 : 462. 



As shown in the immediately preceding note, the aame Arrhenes acquired no status of 

 availability through being published l>v Mabille in 11)04 ' n tnc synonymy of Ocybadistes Heron. 

 \i 1 ordingly, Mabille's su tion on that occasion did not invalidate any later use of this generic 

 name, provided that that use complied in other respects with the requirements of the Code, 

 that is, provided that the author iism^ this name (a) gave a generic diagnosis and (b) designa 

 ted a type-species. Since a period of nearly sixty yens elapsed between Mabille's use in 

 synonymy of the name Arrhenes and the publication ol tin- revised Code containing the 

 provision under which it was ruled that names so published have no status of availability, 

 it was to be expected therefore that the first nomenclatoriallv valid use of the name Arrhenes 

 would be when some author, while attributing this name to Mabille, [904, provided a diagno- 

 sis for the genus and designated a type-species for that genus. 'The first author to do this was 

 Evans in 1934 alK ' *' 1C name Arrhenes is accordingly attributable to Evans and ranks from 

 1934. ' ne difficulty in this case arose primarily from the fact that Mabille misinterpreted 

 Ocybadistes and placed in that genus spa ies not > urrentlj regarded as belonging to it, and it 

 was for the reception of these species that authors initially brought into use the name Airhenes 

 Mabille, instead of leaving it, ,is the\ would otherwise have done, in the synonym; oi 

 Oi vbadistes.

 by original designation : Arrhenothrix penicilligera de Niceville, 1890, ibid. 3 : 337,

The nominal species Arrhenothrix penicilligera is currently treated subjectively on taxo 

 nomic grounds as representing a subspecies of the taxon represented by the nominal species 

 Amblypodia vidura Horslield, 1S20 (Descr. Cat. lep. Ins. Mils. East India Coy (2) : 113).
