The second of the nominal species cited in synonymy by Hiibner when establishing the fore- 

 going nominal species was Papilio antiochus Fabricius, 1775 (Syst. Ent. : 480, no. 164), of 

 which the type-specimen, whether holotype or lectotype, is therefore one of the syntypes of 

 Catonephele enpalemaena. When describing the foregoing nominal species, Fabricius cited in 

 synonymy figs 3 and 4 on plate 68 of Daubenton's (Aubenton's) work entitled " Planches 

 enluminees d'Histoire Naturelle par Martinet ". By the first of the lectotype-selections 

 referred to above, the specimen shown as fig. 3 on Daubenton's plate 68 became the representa- 

 tive of the lectotype of Papilio antiochus Fabricius, and, by the next-following lectotype- 

 selection the same specimen became the representative of the lectotype of Catonephele 

 eupalemaena Hiibner. By this action, the specific names eupalemaena Hiibner and antiochus 

 Fabricius became objectve synonyms of one another, but the later-published of these names 

 Catonephele eupalemaenia Hiibner is not invalidated on the above account, for the name 

 Papilio antiochus Fabricius is itself invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the older name Papilio 

 antiochus Linnaeus, 1767 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 1068, no Addenda 12). 



The figures on Daubenton's plate 68 referred to above were cited also by Linnaeus, when he 

 established the nominal species Papilio acontius in 1771 (Mantissa Plant. : 537). By the last 

 of the lectotype-selections referred to above, the specimen shown as fig. 3 on Daubenton's 

 plate 68 was selected to represent the lectotype of Papilio acontius, with the result that all 

 three of the nominal species discussed above have the same specimen as lectotype. The 

 oldest of these names is Papilio acontius Linnaeus, 1771, and it is therefore the valid name for 

 the species, the other two names Papilio antiochus Fabricius, 1775 (which, as already explained, 

 is invalid under the Law of Homonymy) and Catonephele eupalemaena Hiibner falling as 

 junior objective synonyms. 



CATOPHAGA Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (6) : 93. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amev. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 136) : Papilio paulina Cramer, 

 [1777], Uitl. Kapellen 2 (10) : 21, pi. no, figs E, F. 



CATOPSILIA Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 98. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (4th Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Arts Sci. 1871 : 58) : Papilo crocale Cramer, [1775], 

 Uitl. Kapellen 1 (5) : 87, pi. 55, figs C, D. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio crocale Cramer, the type-species of 

 this genus, is currently considered subjectively on taxonomic grounds to be congeneric with the 

 taxon represented by the nominal species Mancipium minna Hiibner, [1810], which itself is 

 considered to represent the same taxon as that represented by the older-established nominal 

 species Papilio pyranthe Linnaeus, 1758. The point here to be noted is that Mancipium 

 minna is the type-species of the genus Murtia Hiibner, which was established on the same page 

 of the same work as Catopsilia. The relative precedence to be accorded to these generic 

 names depends therefore upon the choice made by the First Reviser. In this case the First 

 Reviser was Kirby (1871, Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep. : 481), who selected the name Catopsilia to 

 take precedence over the name Murtia. 



CATOPYROPS Toxopeus, 1929, Tijdschr. Ent. 72 (3/4) : 230. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Lycaena ancrya Felder (C), i860, 5. B. Akad. Wiss. Wien 40 : 457. 



The above is the first of two occasions on which Toxopeus published Catopyrops as a new 

 name. The second was in 1930 (Soort Functie Plats Tijd Lycaenidae : 146). On this second 

 occasions Toxopeus expressly designated Lycaena ancrya Felder as type-species. 



CATUNA Kirby, 1871, Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep. : 238. Type-species through Section (i) (replace- 

 ment names) of Article 67 : Papilio crithea Drury, [1773], III. nat. Hist. 2 : index et 29, pi. 

 16, figs 5, 6. 



Catuna Kirby was introduced as a replacement name for Enomma Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 

 [1867] (Reise Fregatte " Novara " Lep. Rhop. (3) : 425), which is invalid under the Law of 

 Homonymy. In its turn, Euomma was a replacement name for Jaera Hiibner, [1819], which 

 is also invalid under the Law of Homonymy. A replacement genus can under the Code take 

 as its type-species only the species which is the type-species of the genus replaced or, if no
