ADELOTYPA Warren, 1895, Novit. zool. 2 : 82. Type-species by original designation : 

 Adelotypa xanthobrunnea Warren, 1895, ibid. 2 : 82. 



Warren did not realize that the species which he was dealing with was a butterfly (family 

 Riodinidae), erroneously supposing that it was a Geometrid moth. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Adelotypa xanthobrunnea Warren is currently 

 identified subjectively with the taxon represented by the nominal species Lemonias bolena 

 Butler, 1867 (/. linn. Soc. Lond., Zool. 9 : 215, pi. 6, fig. 8). 



Viewed from the taxonomic point of view, the name Adelotypa Warren is the oldest available 

 name applicable to the genus which, owing to a misunderstanding as to its type-species, has 

 hitherto erroneously been known by the name Echenais Hiibner, [1819] (q.v.).

ADIGAMA Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1883 : 269. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Euploea ochsenheimeri Moore, 1857, in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East 

 India Coy (1) : 132. 



The name Euploea ochsenheimeri Moore is invalid as it is a junior primary homonym of the 

 name Euploea ochsenheimeri Lucas, 1853 (Rev. Mag. Zool. (2) 5 : 315). The species which is 

 the type-species of the present genus was without a species-group name which was both a 

 nomenclatorially available name and also a name objectively applicable to it until in 1910 

 Fruhstorfer published the name hypanis as a replacement for the invalid name ochsenheimeri 

 Moore. Fruhstorfer considered on taxonomic grounds that this taxon should be treated as a 

 subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Crastia malayica 

 Butler, 1878 (/. linn. Soc. Lond., Zool. 14 : 297) ; this led him to adopt the inconvenient 

 course of publishing as a subspecific name his replacement (hypanis) of the name ochsenheimeri 

 Moore, a name published by its original author (Moore) as a specific name. The name so 

 published appeared as Euploea malayica hypanis Fruhstorfer, [1910] (in Seitz, Grossschmett. 

 Erde 9 : 231). [The taxon discussed above is still currently treated in the manner suggested 

 by Fruhstorfer, that is, it is still treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a subspecies of 

 the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Crastia malayica Butler, 

 1878.] 



The name Adigama is one of twelve nominal genera, all of which were published by Moore in 

 the same paper and on the same date, all of which are currently regarded on taxonomic 

 grounds as subjective synonyms of one another. The relative precedence of such names 

 inter se depends on the choice made by the First Reviser. In this case the First Reviser 

 appears to have been Bryk who in 1937 ( iw Bryk's Lep. Cat. 78 : 209-210) adopted the name 

 Adigama Moore, sinking the other names concerned as junior subjective synonyms. 



ADLERODEA Hayward, 1940, An. Soc. cienc. argent. 130 : 75, text-fig. 2. Type-species by 

 original designation : Adlerodea modesta Hayward, 1940, ibid. 130 : 76, text-fig. 3 (3 figs 

 of o* genit.). 



ADMIRATIO Hemming, 1964, Annot. lep. (4) : 137. Type-species through Section (i) 

 (replacement names) of Article 67 : Smithia paradoxa Mabille, [1880], Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. 

 (6) 9, Bull. : clxxiii. 



The name Admiratio was introduced as a replacement of the name Smithia Mabille, [1880], 

 which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. [The choice of the Latin word " admiratio ", 

 meaning " surprise " as the name for this genus is an allusion to the feelings which Mabille may 

 be thought to have had, when, on examining the new species which he designated as the type- 

 species, he chose for its specific name the word " paradoxa ".]
