CHORTOBIUS [Dunning & Pickard], 1858, Accentuated List Brit. Lep. : 5. Type-species 

 by selection by Hemming (1934, Gen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 44) : Papilio pamphilus Lin- 

 naeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 472. 



The authorship attributed to this anonymously published name is based upon the evidence 

 of Hagen (1862, Bibl. ent. (1) : 199). Dunning & Pickard stated that this name was originally 

 proposed in manuscript by Guenee. 



Although the name Chortobius Doubleday has long been known and has been widely used, 

 its senior homonym Chortobius Dunning & Pickard was for long overlooked. 



CHORTOBIUS Doubleday, 1859, Zoologist syn. List Brit. Butts (ed. 2) : 2. Type-species by 

 selection by Moore ([1893], Lep. ind. 2 (14) : 51, 52) : Papilio pamphilus Linnaeus, 1758, 

 Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 472. 



Like Dunning & Pickard, Doubleday stated that this name was originally proposed in 

 manuscript by Guenee. 



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

 species by monotypy : Barbicornis basilis Godart, [1824], Ency. melh. 9 (Ins.) (2) : 706. 



Like Chorinea, the name Chroma was introduced in Griffith's Cuvier on the legend of a plate 

 where it was treated as the name for a subgeneric unit, the legend on the plate reading : 

 Barbiconis [Chroma) basilis (the name basilis being there accidentally misspelled " basalis ". 

 The attribution of the name to Gray rests upon the evidence already explained in connection 

 with the name Chorinea. 



The name Chroma is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Barbicornis Godart, 

 [1824]. 

 CHRYSILIS Westwood, [1851], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 427. Type-species by 

 selection by Hemming (1941, /. Soc. Bibl. nat. Hist. 1 : 434) : Papilio valens Fabricius, 

 1787, Mantissa Ins. 2 : 67. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio valens is currently treated subjectively 

 on taxonomic grounds as the same as that represented by the older-established nominal 

 species Papilio formosus Cramer, [1777] (Uitl. Kapellen 2 (10) : 33, pi. 118, fig. G), the type- 

 species of Anteros Hiibner, [1819]. The purpose of this type-selection was to dispose of the 

 long-forgotten name Chrysilis Westwood by sinking it as a junior subjective synonym of 

 Anteros Hiibner. 



The name Chrysilis was published by Westwood as a manuscript name of Boisduval's and 

 was placed by him in the synonym of Anteros Hiibner. At the time when the above type- 

 selection was made for the present genus, the status of generic names published in synonymies 

 was obscure, there being no provision in the Code dealing with this subject. Under the 

 revised Code, however, it is provided — in Article 11(d) — that a name published in a synonymy 

 does not acquire the status of availability thereby. Accordingly, the name Chrysilis (Bois- 

 duval MS.), Westwood, [1851], is an objectively invalid name. 



CHRYSOBIA Boisduval, 1869, Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. 12 : 52. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Ghrysobia mormonia Boisduval, 1869, ibid. 12 : 52. 



The taxon represented by Chrysobia mormonia is currently treated subjectively on taxo- 

 nomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-established nominal species 

 Lemonias mormo Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1859 (Wien. ent. Monats. 3 : 271), the type-species 

 of Apodemia Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1865]. 



CHRYSOPHANUS Hiibner, 1818, Zutr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : 18. Type-species by 

 selection by Riley (1922, /. Bombay nat. Hist. Soc. 28 : 457) : Chrysophanus mopsus Hiibner, 

 1818, loc. cit. 1 : 24, pi. [24], figs 135, 136. 



The name Chrysophanus Hiibner has had a most unfortunate history as the result of having 

 been published in different senses by Hiibner in each of two works issued at dates very close 

 to one another, the later of these works having for long been erroneously believed to be the 

 earlier. As shown above, the earlier of the two occasions on which the name Chrysophanus was 

 published was in the first volume of Hiibner's Zutrdge zur Sammlung exotischer Schmetterlinge
