GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 63 



ASLAUGA Kirby, 1890, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist (6) 6 : 261. Type-species by selection by 

 Bethune-Baker (1924, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1924 : 209) : Liphyra vininga Hewitson, 

 1875, Ent. mon. Mag. 11 : 183. 



ASPITHA Moore, 1951, Cat. Amer. Hesp. lint Mus. 1 : 6, 83. Type-species by original 

 designation : Prrhopyga [sic ! aspitha Hewitson, [1866], Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. (3) 2 (6) : 481. 



ASTEROCAMPA Rober, [1916], in Seitz, Grossschmett. Erde 5 : 549. Type-species by 

 selection by Bates (1926, Ent. News 37 : 154) : Apatura celtis BoisduvaJ & Leconte, [1834], 

 Hist. gin. icon. Lipid. Chen. Amir. sept. (25) : 210, pi. 57, figs 1, 2 (imago), 3 (larva), 4 (pupa). 



ASTEROPE Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (5) : 66. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 122) : Oreas sapphira Hiibner, 

 [1816], Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : pi. [96]. 



ASTHIPA Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond . 1883 : 246. Type-species by original designation : 



Danais vitrina Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1861, Wien. ent. Monats. 5 : 300. 



The name Asthipa Moore was published on the same date and in the same work as the name 



Ravadeba Moore, and in consequence the relative precedence to be accorded to these names 



depends on the choice of the First Reviser. That choice was made by Bryk in 1037 [Lep. Cat. 



78 : 135) when he gave precedence to the name Ravadeba Moore above the name Asthipa 



Moore. 

 ASTICTOPTERUS Felder (C.) & Felder (R), 1S60, Wien. ent. Monats. 4 : 401. Type-species 



by selection by Butler (1870, Ent. mon. Mag. 7 : 95) : Astictopterus jama Felder (C.) & 



Felder (R.), i860, ibid. 4 : 401. 

 ASTRAEODES Staudinger, [October 1887], in Staudinger <V S> I1.1t/, Exot. Schmett. Bd 1, 



Th. 2 (19) : pi. 95 ; [April 1888], ibid. Bd 1, Th. 1 (20) : 263. Type-species by monotypy : 



Pandemos areuta Westwood, [October 1851 , in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep (2) : pi. 70 



n g- 5 ! [October 1851], ibid. (2) : 440. 

 ASTRAEODES Rober, [1892], iw Schatz, iw Staudinger* Sch.it/, Exot. Schmett. Bd l,Th. 2(6) : 



256. Type-species by monotypy : Pandemos areuta Westwood, [1851]. 



Rober attributed this name to Schatz but he clearly did not realize that it had already been 



published by Staudinger and treated it as a new name. It is invalid both as a junior homonym 



of, and as a junior objective synonym of, Astraeodes Staudinger, [1887]. 



ASTRAPTES Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 103. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 122) : Papilio aulestes Cramer, 

 [1780], Uitl. Kapellen 3 (24) : 161, pi. 283, figs E, F, G. 



The name of the type-species, Papilio aulestes Cramer, [1780], is invalid, as being a junior 

 homonym of the name Papilio aulestes Cramer, [1777] [Uitl. Kapellen 2 (1 1 ) : 47). The oldest 

 nomenclatorially available name subjectively applicable to the taxon represented by the 

 nominal species Papilio aulestes Cramer, [1780] is considered on taxonomic grounds to be 

 Papilio narcosins Stoll, [1790] (Aanhangs.werke Uitl. Kapellen, Pieier Cramer: 171, pi. 39, fig. 8). 



It is currently considered that the taxa represented by the nominal species which are the 

 type-species respectively of Astraptes Hiibner and Telegonus Hiibner are congeneric with one 

 another. As these names were published in the same work and on the same date, the relative 

 precedence to be accorded to these names depends on the choice made by the First Reviser. 

 In the present case the First Reviser was myself (1934, Gen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 158), when I 

 gave preference to the name Astraptes over the name Telegonus. At that time I erroneously 

 supposed that this preference followed automatically under the principle of page precedence. 

 This misconception does not however invalidate the First Reviser action then taken. 



ASTYCUS Hiibner, 1822, Syst.-alph. Verz. : 1, 3, 5, 6, 8-10. Type-species by selection by 

 Hemming (1933, Entomologist 66 : 200) : Papilio tages Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 

 1 : 485. 



Hiibner placed in this genus all the European species of the family Hesperiidae known to 

 him.
