GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 101 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Cathaemia anthyparete Hiibner — which 

 according to modern taxonomic ideas is referable to the genus Delias Hiibner, [1819] — is 

 currently treated subjectively as representing the same taxon as that represented by the 

 nominal species Papilio ceneus Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 487). This species is 

 commonly called by the emended version of its name, that is caeneus. This however is 

 incorrect for this emendation is an Unjustified Emendation, having been made long after 

 the appearance (in 1758) of the spelling ceneus. 



It should be noted that the name Cathaemia Hiibner has been misused by a number of 

 authors who have treated it as though its type-species were Papilio hirlanda Stoll, [1790], which 

 was also one of Hiibner's originally included species. In consequence the authors in question 

 have incorrectly sunk the name Cunizza Grote, 1900, as a junior synonym of Cathaemia. 



CATIA Godman, [1900], in Biol, centr .-amer . , Lep. Rhop. 2 : 462, 481. Type-species by 

 original designation : Hesperia druryi [automatic correction of drury] Latreille, [1824], 

 Ency. mith. 9 (Ins.) (2) : 767. 



The name of the type-species is one of a considerable number, which Latreille gave to new 

 nominal species, consisting of non-Latinized patronymics. Under Article 31(a) such names 

 are subject to automatic correction by the addition (as shown above) of the termination " -i " , 

 the name being thereby converted into the genitive singular of a notional Latin patronymic. 



CATOBLEPIA Stichel, 1902, Berl. ent. Z. 46 (4) : 491. Type-species by selection by Hem- 

 ming (1943, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 12 : 26) : Papilio xanthus Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. 

 Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 472. 



CATOCHRYSOPS Boisduval, 1832, in d'Urville, Voy. "Astrolabe", Ent. 1 (Lep.) : 87. 

 Type-species by selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci. Boston 10 : 136) : 

 Hesperia strabo Fabricius, 1793, Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 287. 



CATOCYCLOTIS Stichel, 1911, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 112 (B) : 328. Type-species by 

 original designation : Hesperia aemulius Fabricius, 1793, Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 322. 



CATODAULIS Speyer, 1878, Slell ent. Ztg 39 : 179, 181. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Pyrgus tethys Menetries, 1857, Enum. Corp. Anim. Mus. imp. Acad. Sci. petrop., Ins. (2) : 126, 

 pi. 10, fig. 8. 



The name Calodaulis Speyer is invalid, because it is a junior objective synonym of the older 

 name Daimio Murray, 1875. 



CATONEPHELE Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (3) : 40. Type-species by selection 

 by Hemming (1943, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 12 : 27) : Catonephele eupalemaena 

 Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (3) : 40 (as defined by the specimen figured as fig. 3 

 on plate 68 in Daubenton's work entitled " Planches enluminees d'Histoire naturelle par 

 Martinet ", which, by selection by Hemming (1964, Annot. lep. (3) : 96) represents the lecto- 

 type of Papilio antiochus Fabricius, 1775 (Syst. Ent. : 480, no. 164) and, as such, by selection 

 by Hemming (1964, loc. cit. : 97) represents the lectotype of Catonephele eupalemaena Hiibner 

 and by a further selection made by Hemming in the same paper ( : 97) represents also the lecto- 

 type of the nominal species Papilio acontius Linnaeus, 1771 (Mantissa Plant.: 537)). 



An attempt to select a type-species for this genus was made by Scudder in 1875 (Proc. 

 amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 136) but that attempt was unsuccessful, because, instead of 

 picking out one — and only one — of the nominal species cited by Hiibner as belonging to this 

 genus to be its type-species, he took two of those species, grouping them together both as 

 subjective synonyms of one another and as junior synonyms of a third nominal species 

 (Papilio acontius Linnaeus) which had not been cited by Hiibner, with the result that he failed 

 to indicate it was one of the originally included species that he was seeking to select as type- 

 species. This genus remained without a validly established type-species until (as shown 

 above) I selected as type-species the nominal species Catonephele eupalemaena Hiibner, the 

 first of the nominal species placed in this genus by Hiibner. 



By the three interlocking lectotype-selections specified at the head of the present note the 

 interpretation of the nominal species Catonephele eupalemaena has been placed on a firm basis.
