other species figured were butterflies. It was presumably for this reason that this generic 

 name came to be listed as the name of a butterfly. It was mentioned in 1875 (Proc. amer. 

 Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 143) by Scudder who quite correctly stated that the single 

 species figured by Boisduval was not a butterfly. It is in fact a moth which, as shown above, 

 had already been named and figured by Geyer in his continuation of Hiibner's Zulrdge at the 

 time when Boisduval's plate appeared. (It may be noted that the name Cleosiris Boisduval 

 is invalid, being a junior objective synonym of Tetragonus Geyer.) 



CLEROME Westwood, [Dec. 1850], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 54, fig. 5. Type- 

 species by monotypy : Papilio arcesilaus Fabricius, 1787, Mantissa Ins. 2 : 28. 



In the text ((2) : 333) Westwood placed three species in this genus, but this was not pub- 

 lished until January 1851, that is, not for about six weeks after the appearance of plate 54*, on 

 which (as shown above) only one species was placed in this genus, and this species is therefore 

 the type-species by monotypy. 



CLITO Evans, 1953, Cat. Amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 3 : 16, 152. Type-species by original 

 designation : Papilio clito Fabricius, 1787, Mantissa Ins. 2 : 92. 



CLOSSIANA Reuss, Oct. 1920, Ent. Mitt. 9 : 192 nota. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio selene [Denis & Schiffermtiller], 1775, Ankiindung. eines syst. Werkes Schmett. 

 Wiener Gegend : 321. 



In addition to publishing the name Clossiana in October 1920, Reuss published it as a new- 

 name on no less than three other occasions, twice in 1921 and once in 1922. The references 

 are as follows : (a) April 1921, Soc. ent., Stuttgart 36 : 16 ; (b) Nov. 1921, Ent. Mitt. 10 : 

 190 ; (c) 1922, Arch. Naturgesch. 87 (1921), A. 11 : 225. 



CLOTHILDA Blanchard, 1840, Hist. nat. Ins. 3 : 440. Type-species by original designation : 

 Argynnis briarea Godart, [1819], Ency. m&th. 9 (Ins.) (1) : 261. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Argynnis briarea is currently treated sub- 

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

 older-established nominal species Papilio pantherata Martyn, [1797] [Psyche : pi. 12, fig. 27, 

 pi. 14, fig. 35).

 Article 68 (d) ; Papilio clytia Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 479. 



This generic name is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, it being a junior homonym (a) 

 of Clytia Lamouroux, 181 2 (Nouv. Bull. Soc. philomat. Paris 3 (63) : 184) and (b) of Clytia 

 Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830 (Mem. presentis Acad. roy. Sci. Inst. Fr. 2 : 287).

 1898 : 12, pi. 1, figs 7 6\ 8 $. 



COATLANTONA Kirby, 1871, Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep. : 178. 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. 



The name Coatlantona was introduced by Kirby as a replacement for Synchloe Doubleday, 

 1844, a name which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. At the time when established 

 the nominal genus Coatlantona, and the replaced name Synchloe Doubleday were without a 

 type-species, as Kirby did not designate a type-species for Coatlantona. Prior to Kirby's 

 action, Butler had established the nominal genus Chlosyne in 1870, this also being introduced 

 as a replacement for Synchloe Doubleday. Butler did not designate a type-species for 

 Chlosyne, but in 1875 (Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 141) Scudder selected Papilio 

 janais Drury as the type-species of Chlosyne Butler and therefore automatically as the type 

 species of the replaced genus Synchloe Doubleday also. (It may be noted that, although (as 

 noted above) Scudder fully realized that Chlosyne Butler was a replacement name for Synchloe 

 Doubleday and had selected Papilio janais Drury to be its type-species, he adopted a different 

 and entirely inconsistent course when dealing with the genus Coatlantona Kirby (loc. cit. 10 :
