GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 113 



CHLOSYNE Butler, 1870, Cistula ent. 1 : 38. Type-species through Section (i) (replacement 

 names) of Article 67 : Papilio janais Drury, [1782], III. nat. Hist. 3 : index et 22, pi. 17, 

 figs 5. 6. 



Butler introduced Chlosyne as a replacement name for Synchloe Doubleday, 1844, which is 

 invalid under the Law of Homonymy. Butler cited no nominal species for his Chlosyne, the 

 type-species of which however must be the same species as the type-species of Synchloe Double- 

 day, 1844. That genus — and therefore also Chlosyne — was without a type-species until in 

 1875 (Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Set., Boston 10 : 141) Scudder selected Papilio janais Drury as 

 type-species of Chlosyne Butler. 



CHOASPES Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (4) : 158. Type-species by original designation : 

 Hesperia (Thymele) benjaminii Guerin-Meneville, 1843, in Delessert, Souvenirs Voy. 

 hide (2) : 79, pi. 22, fig. 2. 



CHONALA Moore, [1893], Lep. ind. 2 (13) : 14. Type-species by original designation : 

 Debis masoni Elwes, 1882, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1882 : 405, pi. 25, fig. 2. 



CHONDROLEPJS Mabille, 1904, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 17 (C) : 170. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Pamphila murga Mabille, 1890, Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. (6) 10 : 31. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Pamphila murga is currently considered 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds to be the same as that represented by the older-established 

 nominal species Hesperia niveicornis Plotz, 1883, Stett. ent. Ztg 44 : 33. 



CHORANESA Moore, [1892], Lep. ind. 1 (11) : 270. Type-species by original designation : 

 Lethe trimacula Leech, 1H90, Entomologist 23 : 27. 



CHORANTHUS Scudder, 1872, 4th Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Sci. 1871 : 79. Type-species by 

 original designation : Hesperia radians Lucas, 1856, in Sagra, Hist. phys. pol. nat. He 

 de Cid>a 7 : 650. 



Lucas stated that the name Hesperia radians was a manuscript name of Lefebvre's — whose 

 unpublished manuscript was finished by Lucas. 



CHORDIS Fox, 1940, Trans, amer. ent. Soc. 66 : 191 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of 

 Choridis Boisduval, 1870). 



CHORIDIS Boisduval, 1870, Consid. Lipid. Guatemala : 33. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Ithomia peridis Hewitson, [1853], ///. exot. Butts 1 : [25], pi. [13], fig. 20. 



CHORINEA Gray, 1832, in Griffith, Cuvier's A mm. Kingdom, 15 (CI. Ins. 2) : pi. 102. Type- 

 species by monotypy : Erycina (Chorinea) Xanthippe Gray, 1832, in Griffith, ibid. 15 



(CI. Ins. 2) : pi. 102 (as Erycina Xanthippe on page 677). 



It is not always easy to determine the authorship of new names in Griffith's Cuvier's 

 Animal Kingdom. In the present case however the position is quite free of doubt for in the 

 volume here in question (vol. 15) there is a statement that Gray was responsible for the 

 notices of new genera and species introduced in it ; moreover the name Xanthippe was 

 attributed to Gray on the legend to plate 102. In the text the name Chorinea was not applied 

 to this species, which appeared only as Erycina Xanthippe. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Erycina (Chorinea) Xanthippe is currently 

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

 established nominal species Papilio licursis Fabricius, 1775 (Syst. Ent. : 532). 



CHORISTONEURA Mabille, [1890], Bull. Soc. ent. Fr. 1889 : clvi. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Choristoneura apicalis Mabille, [1890], ibid. 1889 : clvi. 



The nominal species Choristoneura apicalis is currently considered subjectively on taxo- 

 nomic grounds to represent the same taxon as that represented by the older-established 

 nominal species A stictopterus johnstonii Butler, 1887 (Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1887 : 573). 



This generic name is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Choristoneura Lederer, 1859 

 (Wien. ent. Monats. 3 : 242).
