BASPA Moore, 1882, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1882 : 250. Type-species by monotypy : Papilio 

 melampus Stoll, [1781], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (31) : 142, pi. 362, figs G, H. 



The name of the type-species, Papilio melampus Stoll, is invalid, as it is a junior homonym 

 of the name Papilio melampus Fuessly, 1775 {Verz. schweiz. Ins. : 31, pi. 1, fig. 6). The 

 nominal species bearing the oldest available which is considered subjectively on taxonomic 

 grounds to represent the same taxon as Papilio melampus Stoll is Thecla sorya Kollar, [1844] 

 {in Hiigel's Kashmir 4 (2) : 414, pi. 5, figs 1,2). On this basis the type-species of this genus 

 should therefore be known by the name sorya Kollar. 



BASSARIS Hubner, [1821], Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : pi. [24]. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio itea Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 498. 



BASSARONA Moore, [1897], Lep. ind. 3 (27) : 49, 59. Type-species by original designation : 

 Adolias teuta Doubleday, [Dec. 1848], Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 44, fig. 2 ; Westwood, [Oct. 

 1850], in Doubleday, ibid. 2 : 291. 



BASSLERODEA Bell, 1940, Amer. Mus. Novit. No. 1094 : 4. Type-species by original 

 designation : Basslerodea mida Bell, 1940, ibid. No. 1094 : 6, fig. 8 (genit.). 



BATELUSIA Druce, 1910, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1910 (1) : 367. Type-species by original 

 designation : Batelusia zebra Druce, 1910, ibid. 1910 (1) : 368. 



BATESIA Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1862, Wien. ent. Monats. 6 : 112. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Batesia hypochlora Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1862, ibid. 6 : 113. 



BATTUS Scopoli, 1777, Introd. Hist. nat. : 433. Type-species by selection by Lindsey (1925, 

 Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 18 : 80) : Papilio polydamas Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 

 1 : 460. 



BEBEARIA Hemming, i960, Annot. lep. (1) : 12-17. Type-species by original designation : 

 Euryphene iturina Karsch, 1894, Ent. Nachr. 20 : 215. 



This nominal genus was erected for the large Ethiopian genus of Limenitids hitherto 

 treated as belonging to the genus Euryphene Westwood, [1850]. This was found to be neces- 

 sary because Westwood never established a new genus under the name Euryphene , all that he 

 did being to misspell, or emend the spelling of, the name Euriphene Boisduval, 1847, the type- 

 species of which {Euriphene coerulea Boisduval, 1847) belongs to quite a different genus. 

 The reputed name Euryphene Westwood, [1850], is therefore a cheironym. 



BELENOIS Hubner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (6) : 92. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio calypso Drury, [1773], III. nat. Hist. 2 : index et 30, pi. 17, figs 3, 4. 



BEMATISTES Hemming, 1935, Trans. R. ent. Soc. Lond. 83 : 374. Type-species by original 



designation : Papilio umbra Drury, [1782], 77/. nat. Hist. 3 : index et 23, pi. 18, figs 1, 2. 



This genus was established for the species previously but incorrectly placed in the genus 



Planema Doubleday, [1848], as the result of later authors ignoring the type-selection made for 



that genus in 1875. 



BERBERIA de Lesse, 1951, Rev. franc. Lepid. 13 (3/4) : 41. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Satyrus abdelkader Pierret, 1837, Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. [1] 6 : 19, pis 5, 6. 



BERETHIS Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1883 : 228. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio phoedon Fabricius, 1798, Suppl. ent. syst. : 423. 



This name is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Amaura Geyer, [1837]. 



BERGMANIA Bryk, 1946, Ark. Zool. 38A (No. 3) : 52. Type-species by original designation : 

 Dipsas flamen Leech, 1887, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1887 : 410-411, pi. 26, fig. 2 $. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Dipsas flamen Leech, is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as representing a subspecies of the taxon represented by 

 the nominal species Thecla raphaelis Oberthur, 1880 {Etud. ent. 5 : 20, pi. 5, fig. 1 o"). and it was 

 so cited by Bryk when he established the present genus. Bryk's irregular manner of citing 

 the name of the type-species misled Shirozu & Yamamoto in 1956 {Sieboldia 1 (4) : 34) into
