was in reality Hesperia aquilina Plotz, 1883. First, he gave two figures of what he called 

 Thracides aepitas ; these were fig. 47 (venation of forewing) and fig. 48 (rj genit.) on plate 103. 

 Both of these figures represent aquilina Plotz and not aepitus Geyer. Second, he described 

 under the name Artines atizies a new nominal species, for which he gave two figures on plate 

 103, namely fig. 49 (o* underside) and fig. 50 (0* genit.). Both these figures represent the true 

 aepitus Geyer. What happened therefore was that Godman was in possession of specimens 

 both of aepitus and of aquilina but that he made the mistake of applying the name aepitus to 

 aquilina and, thinking that the species to which the name aepitus properly applies was an 

 undescribed species, gave to it the new specific name atizies. The genus Artines Godman was 

 thus based upon a misidentified type-species. Accordingly, the Commission is being asked to 

 designate under Article 70(a) the nominal species Hesperia aquilina Plotz, 1883, to be the type- 

 species of Artines Godman. In accordance with the provisions of Article 80 that species is 

 here treated as the type-species of this genus, pending the publication of the Commission's 

 decision on the application submitted. 



ARTIPE Boisduval, 1870, Consid. Lip. Guatemala : 14. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio amyntor Herbst, 1804, in Jablonsky, Natursyst. Ins., Schmett. 11 : 27, pi. 300, 

 figs 5, 6 $. 



The nominal species Papilio amyntor is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds 

 as representing the same taxon as that represented by the nominal species Papilio eryx 

 Linnaeus, 1771 {Mantissa Plant. : 537).

ASBOLIS Mabille, 1904, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 17 (B) : 134. Type-species by selection by 

 Lindsey (1925, Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 25 : 79) : Goniloba sandarac Herrich-Schaeffer, 1865, 

 CorrespBl. zool.-min. Ver. Regensburg 19 : 54. 



The nominal species Goniloba sandarac is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic 

 grounds as representing the same taxon as that represented by the nominal species Eudamus 

 capucinus Lucas, 1856 {in Sagra, Hist. fis. pol. nat. Cuba 7 : 625). 



ASCANIDES Geyer, [1837], in Ffiibner, Zutr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 5 : 32. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Papilio triopas Godart, [1819], Ency. meth. 9 (Ins.) (1) : 33. 



The name Papilio triopas Godart is invalid as it is a junior homonym of Papilio triopas 

 Stoll, [1780] {in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (27) : 64), and has been replaced by the name 

 Parides ygdrasilla Hemming, 1935 {Entomologist 68 : 41), which is therefore the valid name for 

 the type-species of this genus. 



ASC1A Scopoli, 1777, Introd. Hist. nat. : 434. Type-species by selection by Scudder (1872, 

 4th Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Sci. 1871 : 61) : Papilio monuste Linnaeus, 1764, Mus. Lud. 

 Ulr. : 237. 



Hampson in 1918 {Novit. zool. 25 : 385) sought to claim that Papilio crataegi Linnaeus, 

 1758, was automatically the type-species of this genus because it was the first of the species 

 cited by Scopoli under the name Ascia. This claim was misconceived, because the so-called 

 "First-Species Rule " was at no time recognized in the Code as a method for determining the 

 type-species of genera.
