CHLIARIA Moore, 1884, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 53 (1) : 32. Type-species by original 

 designation : Hypolycaena othona Hewitson, [1865], ///. diurn. Lep., Lycaenidae 1 (text) : 

 50 ; 2 (plates) : pi. 22, figs 17, 18 q\ 



CHLORIPPE Doubleday, 1844, List. lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. 1 : 108. Type-species by selection 

 by Scudder ([Feb.] 1875, Bull. Buffalo Soc. nat. Sci. 2 : 248) : Nymphalis laurentia Godart, 

 [1824], Ency. m&th. 9 (Ins.) (1) : 376. 



Doubleday, when publishing this name, stated that it was a manuscript name of Bois- 

 duval's. As will be seen from the entry given immediately below, it was actually published 

 by that author as a new name of his own many years later. 



On some date in 1875, at present unknown but certainly after February, Scudder (1875, 

 Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 140) selected Papilio agathina Cramer, [1777] (Uitl. 

 Kapellen 2 (14) : 109, pi. 167, figs E, F) as type-species, without making any reference to his 

 earlier and perfectly valid selection of Papilio laurentia Godart. 



The two nominal species discussed above are currently considered subjectively on taxonomic 

 grounds to represent taxa which are congeneric with one another. Accordingly, even if any 

 author had been misled into adopting the later of the two type-selections made by Scudder, 

 no harm would have ensued from the taxonomic point of view. 



CHLORIPPE Boisduval, 1870, Consid. Lipid. Guatemala : 47. Type-species by selection by 

 Hemming (1939, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 8 : 134) : Nymphalis laurentia Godart, [1824]. 



This is one of the numerous cases where Boisduval devised a name in manuscript and gave 

 it an irregular currency as such with the result usually that it was first validly published by 

 some other author. In the present case (as shown above) the first author to publish this name 

 with an " indication " was Doubleday in 1844. This was either unknown to, or was ignored 

 by Boisduval when in 1870 he himself published this name, claiming it as his own. 



This name is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, being a junior homonym of Chlorippe 

 Doubleday, 1844. Further, through the species deliberately selected as type-species by 

 myself in 1939, it is invalid also as a junior objective synonym of Chlorippe Doubleday, 1844. 



CHLORISSES Swainson, 1832, Zool. Illustr. (2) 2 : pi. 89. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio sarpedon Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 461. 



This name is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Graphium Scopoli, 1777. 



CHLOROCHOPSIS Fruhstorfer, 1899, Bert. ent. Z. 44 : 76 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling 

 of Chlorochropsis Rothschild, 1892). 



CHLOROCHROPSIS Rothschild, 1892, Iris 5 : 430. Type-species by monotypy : Chloro- 

 chropsis dohertyi Rothschild, 1892, ibid. 5 : 430, pi. 4, fig. 3 <J- 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Chlorochropsis dohertyi is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as representing the same taxon as that represented by the 

 older-established nominal species Lintorata menadensis Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 

 1883 : 229. 



CHLOROPOEA Aurivillius, 1898, K. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl., Stockholm 31 (No. 5) : 

 174. Type-species through Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Papilio semire 

 Cramer, [1779], Uitl. Kapellen 3 (17) : 3, pi. 194, figs B, C. 



Aurivillius established this taxon as a replacement for Panopea Hiibner, [1819], which name 

 is invalid under the Law of Homonymy ; he treated this taxon as a subgenus of Pseudacraea 

 Westwood, [1850]. Aurivillius did not designate a type-species for his replacement-genus 

 Chloropoea, but it must under the Code be whatever is the type-species of Panopoea Hiibner, 

 the genus so replaced. The latter however did not have a type-species at the time when 

 Aurivillius introduced the replacement name Chloropoea and remained without one until in 

 1943 {Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 12 : 28-39) I selected Papilio semire Cramer.
