tive synonym of Prothoe Hiibner, even if it were otherwise available. Under Article 11(d) 

 however the name Autonema Westwood, as a name published in a synonymy, possesses no 

 status in zoological nomenclature, and is invalid on this account, quite apart from being a 

 junior objective synonym of Prothoe Hiibner.

AXIOCERSES Hiibner, [1819], Vert, bekannt. Schmelt. (5) : 72. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio perion Stoll, [1782], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (32) : 176, pi. 379, figs B, C. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio perion is currently identified sub- 

 jectively with that represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio harpax 

 Fabricius, 1775 (Syst. Ent. : 829).

AZANUS Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (2) : 79. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio ubaldus Stoll, [1782], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (33) : 209, pi. 390, figs L, M j. 



AZONAX Godman & Salvia, [1893], in Biol, centr .-amer . , Lep. Khop. 2 : 267. Type-species by 

 original designation : Myscelus typhaon Hewtison, 1877, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 20 :

BACALORA Moore, [1898], Lep. ind. 3 (32) : 146. Type-species by original designation : 

 Neptis pata Moore, 1858, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 26 (cccxlvii) : 4, pi. 49, fig. 1 <$. 



When Moore introduced this name in 1898, he designated a type-species but did not give a 

 diagnosis ; this he supplied however in the following year [Lep. ind. 4 (39) : 43). 



BADACARA Moore [1890], Lep. ind. 1 (3) : 65. Type-species by original designation : 

 Danais nilgiriensis Moore, 1877, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 20 : 44. 



BADAMIA Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (4) : 156. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio exclamationis Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 530. 



BAEOTIS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (2) : 21. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 125) : Baeotis hisbaena Hiibner, 

 [1819], ibid. (2) : 21. 



The name Baeotis hisbaena was introduced by Hiibner as a replacement name for Papilio 

 hisbon Cramer, [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (7) : 130, pi. 83, fig. C. This action on Hiibner's 

 part was quite uncalled for, as the specific name hisbon Cramer is perfectly available nomen- 

 clatorially. In consequence, the specific name hisbaena Hiibner is invalid as a junior objective 

 synonym of hisbon Cramer. The latter is the oldest available name objectively available for 

 the present species, and, as there is no older subjective synonym, it is the valid name for this 

 species. 



BAEOTUS Hemming, 1939, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 8 : 136. Type-species by original 

 designation : Megistanis baeotus Doubleday, [Aug. 1849], Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 48, 

 fig. 2 (as beotus) ; Westwood, [Nov. 1850], in Doubleday, ibid. (2) : 312 (beotus emended to 

 baeotus. 



The name Megistanis baeotus was first published — unfortunately as a manuscript name — 

 by Doubleday, 1844 (List. Spec. lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. 1 : 109), where, as shown, the first
