Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 122) erroneously supposed that the 

 name Astycus was not published until 1825 (Cat. Lep. Coll. Franck : 85) and on this basis 

 selected Papilio augias Linnaeus, 1763 (Amoen. acad. 6 : 410) as type-species. This type- 

 selection is invalid, as Papilio augias was not one of the originally included species when 

 Hiibner established this nominal genus in 1822. 



The name Astycus Hiibner is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Erynnis Schrank, 

 1802, of which also Papilio tages is the type-species. 



ATALOPEDES Scudder, 1872, 4th Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Sci. 1871 : 78. Type-species by 

 original designation : Hesperia huron Edwards, 1863, Proc. ent. Soc. Philad. 2 : 16, pi. 1, 

 figs 1 6\ 2 $. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Hesperia huron is currently treated subjective- 

 ly on taxonomic grounds as representing the same taxon as that represented by the older- 

 established nominal species Hesperia campestris Boisduval, 1852 (Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. (2) 

 10 :316 c?). 



ATARNES Godman & Salvin, [1897], in Biol, centr .-amer . , Lep. Rhop. 2 : 443. Type-species 

 by monotypy : Leucochitonea sallei Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1867], in Reise Fregatte 

 " Novara " , Lep. -Rhop. (3) : 525, pi. 74, fig. 25. 



ATE Godman & Salvin, [1895], in Godman & Salvin, Biol, centr .-amer . , Lep. Rhop. 2 : 401. 

 Type-species by original designation : Papilio jovianus Stoll, [1782], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 

 4 (33) : 213, pi. 392, figs L, M. 



This name is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Pvthonides Hiibner, [1819], of 

 which the same nominal species is the type-species. 



ATEGANA Stichel, 1906, in YVytsman's Gen. his. 36 : 10. Type-species by selection by 

 Hemming (1935, Stylops 4 : 1) : Papilio phidippus Linnaeus, 1763, Amoen. acad. 6: 402. 



As published by Stichel, this name had the appearance of having been introduced as the 

 name for a subgenus of Amathusia Fabricius, 1807 ; Stichel had, however, the peculiar 

 habit of applying to groups of species within a given genus Latin words in the nominative 

 plural. It is possible therefore that Ategana, despite its appearance of being a Latinized word 

 in the nominative singular — and therefore a subgeneric name — may have been intended by 

 Stichel to be a group-term in the neuter nominative plural and not a genus-group name at all. 



Ategana Stichel — if it is a genus-group name — is a junior objective synonym of Amathusia 

 Fabricius, of which also Papilio phidippus Linnaeus is the type-species. 



ATELEOMORPHA Warren, 1926, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 74 : 19, 87. Type-species by 

 selection by Hemming (1934, Stylops 3 : 143) : Hesperia onopordi Rambur, [1840], Faun, 

 ent. Andal. 2 (Livr. 5) : 319, pi. 8, figs 13 o\ P (genit). 



ATELLA Doubleday, [Nov. 1847], Gen. diurn. Lep. (1) : pi. 22, fig. 3 ; id. [May 1848], ibid. (1) : 

 165. Type-species by selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 

 123) : Atella eurytis Doubleday, [1847], ibid. (1) : pi. 22, fig. 3. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Atella eurytis is currently considered on taxo- 

 nolic grounds to be the same as that represented by the older-established nominal species 

 Papilio columbina Cramer, [1779] (Uitl. Kapellen 3 (20) : 76, pi. 238, figs A, B). 



A TERCOLORAT US Bang-Haas, 1938, Ent. Z. 52 (22) : 178. Type-species by original 

 designation : Coenonympha alini Bang-Haas, 1937, Ent. Z. 51 (22) : 223. 



ATERICA Boisduval, 1833, Nouv. Ann. Mus. Hist, not., Paris 2 (2) : 195, (as Lep. page 47 in 

 re-paged separate under the title " Faun. ent. Madagascar "). Type-species by monotypy : 

 Aterica rabena Boisduval, 1833, ibid. 2 (2) : 195, pi. 8, fig. 2. 



ATHALIAEFORMIA Verity, 1950, Farfalle diurn. d'ltal. 4 : 89, 90, 157. Type-species by 

 original designation : Papilio athalia Rottemburg, 1775, Der Naturforscher 6 : 5. 



Verity introduced this name for what he called the " athalia gruppo " of Higgins ( : 189) and 

 later (: 157) for the genus Mellicta Billberg as interpreted by Higgins for the same group. It
