70 FRANCIS HEMMING 



The name Aulocera Butler has been placed by the Commission by the Ruling given in its 

 Opinion 278 (1954, Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 6 : 135-178) on the " Official List of Generic 

 Names in Zoology " as Name No. 697. 



AUREA Evans, 1957, Bul1 - Br - Mus - nat - Hist., (Ent.) 5 (No. 3) : 88, 126. Type-species by 

 original designation : Amblypodia aurea Hewitson, 1862, Spec. Cat. Lep. Lycaenidae : 8, 

 pi. 8, figs 87, 88 6*. 



Evans inadvertently cited the specific name of the type-species as having been originally 

 published in combination with the generic name Arhopala instead of with Amblypodia, the 

 name actually used by Hewitson. 



A URINA Evans, 1937, Catf. afr. Hesp. Brit. Mus. : 2, 26. Type-species by original designation : 

 Aurina dida Evans, 1937, ibid. : 26, pi. 2, figs 10 5", 11 $, pi. 10, fig. [2] (genit. ; 3 figs). 



AUROTIS Dalman, 1816, K. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl., Stockholm 1816 (1) 163, 90. 

 Type-species by monotypy : Papilio betulae Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 482. 



This name is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Thecla Fabricius, 1807, of which 

 the same species is the type-species. 



A UROTIS Kirby, 1862, Manual europ. Butts : 87. Type-species by monotypy : Papilio 

 roboris Esper, [1793], Die Schmett. Suppl. Bd, 1 Abschn. Tagschmett. : 59, pi. 103, fig. 4 q\ 



It is curious that Kirby, who was a most careful worker, should have given the name 

 Aurotis to a new genus, for he must have been well aware of the existence of Dalman's genus of 

 the same name. He made no indication at all that he was dealing with the genus Aurotis 

 Dalman, and the sole species which he cited was not cited by Dalman, all of whose species 

 were here placed by Kirby in the genus Thecla Fabricius. In the circumstances it seems best 

 to treat Aurotis as used by Kirby on the present occasion as a new genus of his own. 



The name Aurotis Kirby is invalid, first as a junior homonym of Aurotis Dalman, 1816, and, 

 second, as a junior objective synonym of Laeosopis Rambur, 1858, of which also Papilio 

 roboris is the type-species. 



AUSTROMYRINA Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1865], in Reise Fregatta "Novara", Lep. 

 Rhop. (2) : 260. Type-species by selection by Hemming (i960, Annot. lep. (1) : 9) : Papilio 

 evagoras Donovan, 1805, Epitome nat. Hist. Ins. New Holland, signature F : [1]. 



This generic name is invalid, as being a junior objective synonym of Jalmenus Hiibner, 1818, 

 of which the same species is the type-species. 



AUSTROZEPHYRUS Howarth, 1957, Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist., (Ent.) 5 (6) : 237 (in a 

 key without type-species), 270 (type-species designated). Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Dipsas absolon Hewitson, [1865], ///. diurn. Lep. Lycaenidae 1 (text) : 65 ; 2 

 (plates) : pi. 30, figs 11, 12 $. 



AUTOCHTON Hiibner, [1823], Zutr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : 13. Type-species by mono- 

 typy : Autochton itylus Hiibner, [1823], ibid. 2 : 13, pi. [44], figs 249, 250. 



AUTODEA Westwood, [1850], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 253. Type-species by 

 selection by Hemming (1941, /. Soc. Bibl. nat. Hist. 1 : 424) : Lucinia sida Hiibner, [1823], 

 Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : pi. [35]. 



This name was published by Westwood in the synonymy of Lucinia Hiibner, [1823], 

 Westwood entering it there as " Autodea Boisd. MS.". As a name published in a synonymy, 

 it is automatically invalid under the revised Code (Article 11(d)). Prior to the introduction 

 of this rule, I had already made it an invalid name as a junior objective synonym of the older 

 name Lucinia Hiibner by selecting as its type-species Lucinia sida, which is also the type- 

 species of Lucinia Hiibner. 



AUTONEMA Westwood, [1850], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 266. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Prothoe franckii Hiibner, [1824], Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : [54]. 



This name was published as " Autonema Boisd. MS." in the synonymy of Prothoe Hiibner, 

 [1824]. As so published, the name Autonema Westwood would be invalid as a junior objec-
