treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older- 

 established nominal species Strabena smithi Mabille, 1877 [Petit. Nouv. ent. 2 : 157).

 Subsequent Spelling of Callophrys Billberg, 1820). 



CALOPIERIS Aurivillius, 1898, K. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl., Stockholm 31 No. 5 : 385,

CALORNIS Billberg, 1820, Enum. Ins. Mus. Billb. : 77. Type-species by selection by Scudder, 

 1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 132 : Papilio thalia Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. 

 (ed. 10) 1 : 467. 



The name Calornis Billberg is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of the older name 

 Actinote Hiibner, [18 19]. 



CALOSPILA Geyer, [1832], in Hiibner, Zutr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 4 : 28. Type-species by 

 selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 133) : Calospila ther- 

 modoe Geyer, [1832], in Hiibner, ibid. 4 : 28, pi. [123], figs 715, 716. 



This is one of the cases in which one species was prominently placed in a new genus in the 

 text of the Zutrdge and a second species unobtrusively placed in the same genus, and Scudder, 

 overlooking the unobtrusively cited species erroneously supposed that the prominently placed 

 species was alone included and was therefore the type-species by monotypy. The fact that 

 Scudder was under this apprehension does not invalidate his action in stating that Calospila 

 thermodoe Geyer (identified by him with Papilio parthaon Dalman) was the type-species of this 

 genus. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Calospila thermodoe is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older- 

 established nominal species Papilio parthaon Dalman, 1823 (Analecta ent. : 46). 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio parthaon Dalman is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being congeneric with that represented by the nominal 

 species Papilio zeanger, [1790] (Aanhangs. Werk Uitl. Kapellen Pieter Cramer : 165, pi. 37, fig. 2), 

 which, following an erroneous type-selection by Scudder in 1875 [Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., 

 Boston 10 : 254) has been incorrectly accepted by later authors as the type-species of the genus 

 Polystichtis Hiibner, [1819]. Correctly interpreted, Polystichtis is a subjective junior synonym 

 of Emesis Fabricius, 1807, and the name Calospila Geyer is the oldest available name for the 

 genus miscalled Polystichtis Hiibner by Scudder and others. 



CALPODES Hiibner, [1919], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 107. Type-species by selection by

CALTORIS Swinhoe, 1893, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1893 : 323. Type-species by selection by

 zool. Soc. Lond. 1878 : 687. 



CALVUS Hemming, 1939, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 8 : 137. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Lemonias calvus Staudinger, [1887], in Staudinger & Schatz, Exot. Schmett. Bd 1 

 (Th. 1) : 259; idem, [1887], ibid. Bd 2 : pi. 92. 



Calvus, which has the same type-species as Drepanula Rober, [1892], a genus bearing a 

 name which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, was established as a new genus and not 

 as a replacement name for the invalid Drepanula Rober, because it was desired to provide this 

 genus with a more adequate " indication " than that which Rober had published for his 

 Drepanula. At the time when the name Calvus was published, it was not realized that the 

 name Drepanula had already been replaced by Strand. The name Calvus is therefore invalid 

 as a junior objective synonym of Boeberella Strand, 1932.
