GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 109 



Strand's Lep. Cat. 40 : 526), who have erroneously treated the genus Charis as though its 

 type-species were Papilio gyas Cramer, [1775] (Uill. Kapellen 1 (3) : 45), the second of the 

 two nominal species originally included in the genus by Hiibner. 



CHARMA Doherty, 1886, J. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 55 (2) : 117. Type-species by original 



designation : Zophoessa baladeva Moore, [1866], Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1865 (3) : 769, 



pl- 41. fi g- 5- 

 CHARMION de Niceville, 1894, J. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 63 (1) : 48. Type-species by 



original designation : Hesperia ficulnea Hewitson, 1868, Descr. One Hundred new Spec. 



Hesp. (2) : 37. 



CHARMONA Stichel, 1910, Berl. ent. Z. 55 (1/2) : 15. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio auiits Cramer, [1776], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (8) : 144, pl. 92, fig. B. 



As has been explained in connection with the generic name Charis Hiibner, the nominal 

 species Papilio auias Garner [1776] has as its lectotype the same specimen as is the lectotype 

 of the nominal species Charis ania Hiibner, [1819], the type-species of the genus Charis 

 Hiibner. The name Charmona Stichel is therefore invalid as being a junior objective synonym 

 of Charis Hiibner. 



Even if the name Charmona Stichel had not been invalid for the reason explained above, it 

 would still have been invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the name Charmona Billberg, 1820 

 (Enum. Ins. Mus. Billberg. : 82). 



CHARMONANA Strand, 1932, Folia zool. hydrobiol., Riga 4 (1) : 145. Type-species through 

 Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Papilio auius Cramer, [1776]. 



On noticing that the name Charmona Stichel, 1910, was (as explained above) invalid under 

 the Law of Homonymy, Strand replaced it with the name Charmonana. 



Although not invalid under the Law of Homonymy, as the name Charmona Stichel is, the 

 name Charmona Strand is nevertheless an invalid name, as it is a junior objective synonym of 

 Charis Hiibner, [1819]. 



CHARONIAS Rober, [1908], in Seitz, Grossschmett. Erde 5 : 68. Type-species by selection by 

 Klots (1931, Ent. amer. (n.s.) 12 (3) : 153, 200) : Euterpe eurytele Hewitson, [1852], ///. 

 exot. Butts 1 : 9, pl. [5], fig. 1. 



CHARUS Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (4) : 149. Type-species by orginal designation : 

 Papilio helenus Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 459. 



CHATTENDENIA Tutt, [April] 1908, Nat. Hist. Brit. Butts 2 : 483. Type-species through 

 Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Papilio w-album Knoch, 1782, (Beitr. 

 Insektengesch. 2 : 85, pl. 6, figs 1, 2). 



Tutt published the name Chattendenia as a new name twice in 1908 : first in April in the 

 work cited above, and then in June (Ent. Rec. 20 (6) : 143). 



The name Chattendenia was introduced as a replacement for the name Edwardsia Tutt, 

 [1907], which is invalid, as it is a junior homonym (a) of Edwardsia Costa, 1838 (Fauna Regno 

 Napoli, Crust. : Edwardsia 1) and (b) of Edwardsia Quatrefages, 1841 (L'Institut 5 : 427). 



The type-species of the present genus is commonly considered subjectively to be congeneric 

 with Thecla thalia Leech, [1893], the type-species of Strymonidia Tutt, [1908], a nominal genus 

 established on the same page as Chattendenia. The name Strymonidia is in fairly wide use, 

 while the name Chattendenia is virtually forgotten. In order to protect the position, I made 

 a First Reviser choice in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 83) giving precedence to the name Strymonidia 

 over the name Chattendenia. 



CHAZARA Moore, [1893], Lep. ind. 2 (13) : 21. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio briseis Linnaeus, 1764, Mus. Lud. Ulr. : 276. 



The type-species of this genus is currently treated subjectively as being congeneric with 

 Satyrus hanifa Herrich-Schaeffer, 1850, the type-species of the genus Philareta established by 

 Moore in the same Part (Part 13) ( : 23) of the Lep. ind. The name Chazara Moore is now in 

 fairly wide use, while name Philareta Moore is virtually unknown in the literature. In order
