GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 79 



The generic name Blanchardia Buchecker is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, it being 

 a junior homonym of Blanchardia Castelnau, 1875 (Philadelphia Centennial Exped. of 1876 

 Official Rec. : 47). 

 BLEPOLENSIS Rober, 1906, Soc. ent. 21 : 18. Type-species by selection by Hemming 

 (1943, Proc. K. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 12 : 25) : Caligo batea Hiibner, [1821], Samml. exot. 

 Schmett. 2 : pi. [70]. 



Rober clearly considered that of his three originally included species Caligo batea was 

 representative of this genus, but he did not actually designate it as type-species. This 

 deficiency was made good by myself (as shown above) in 1943. 



BLETOGONA Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1867], in Reise Fregatte " Novara ", Lep. Rhop. (3) : 

 465. Type-species by monotypy : Bletogona mycalesis Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1867, 

 ibid. (3) : 465, pi. 68, figs 6, 7. 



BOEBERIA Prout, 1901, Ent. Rec. 12 : 233, nota. Type-species through Section (i) (replace- 

 ment names) of Article 67 : Papilio parmenio Bdber, 1X09, Mim. Soc. imp. Nat. Moscou 

 2 : 306, pi. 19 (2 figs). 



This name was introduced by Prout as a replacement for Erebomorpha Flues, 1899, which 

 is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. 



BOLBONEURA Godman & Salvin, 1877, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1877 : 62. Type-species by 

 original designation : Temenis sylphis Bates, 1864, lint. num. Mat;. 1 : 113. 



BOLLA Mabille, 1903, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 17A : 16, 72. Types) xt as by selection by 

 Lindsey (1921, Univ. Iowa Stud. nat. Hist. 9, No. 4 : 43) : Bolla pullata Mabille, 1878, 

 Petit. Nouv. Ent. 2 : 229. 



The specific name pullata was first published by Mabille in 1878 (Petit Nouv. Ent. 2 (196) : 

 229), but, as there published, it appeared as a universal name without an associated generic 

 name and is accordingly invalid. It was not until 1903 that this name was duly published 

 (by Mabille) in binominal form and it is accordingly from that date and not from 1878 that it 

 must be dated. 



BOLORIA Moore, [1900], Lep. ind. 4 (48) : 243. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio pales [Denis & Schiffermuller], 1775, Ankundung eiues syst. Werkes Schmett.

BORBO Evans, 1949, Cat. Hesp. Europ. Asia Auslr. : 44, 436. Type-species by original 

 designation : Hesperia borbonica Boisduval, 1833, Nouv. Inn. Mus. Hist, nat., Paris 

 2 (2) : 213, pi. 9, figs 5, 6 (as page 65 in the re-paged separate issued under the title " Faun,

BOTHRIA Chapman, 1908, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1908 : 677. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Cyaniris chennellii de Niceville, 1884, J. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 52 (2/4) : 72, 

 pi. 1, fig. 10 <J. 



The name Bothria Chapman is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Bothria Rondani, 1856 

 (Dipt. ital. Prodr. 1 : 203), an emendation of Botria Rondani, 1856 (loc. cit. 1 : 68). The 

 invalid name Bothria Chapman was replaced in 1909 by the name Bothrinia Chapman. 



BOTHRINIA Chapman, 1909, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1909 : 473. Type-species through 

 Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Cyaniris chennellii de Niceville, 1884, 

 J. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 52 (2/4) : 72, pi. 1, fig. 10 q\ 



This name was introduced by Chapman to replace the name Bothria published by himself 

 in 1908, which (as noted) is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, being a junior homonym of 

 Bothria Rondani, 1858. 



BRACHYCNEME Herrich-Schaeffer, 1869, CorrespBl.-zool.-min. Ver. Regensburg 23 : 73,
