GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 127 



CORYBAS Boisduval, 1870, Consid. Lipid. Guatemala : 43. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Roston 10 : 148) : Papilio tipha Linnaeus, 1767, 

 Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 776. 



The specific name tipha Linnaeus, 1767, used by Boisduval, is no more than an Unjustified 

 Emendation of the specific name tiphus Linnaeus, 1758, published in the combination Papilio 

 1 1 pints. 



As has been explained above in the note on the name Corybas Westwood, the name Papilio 

 tiphus Linnaeus and Papilio nearea Linnaeus, both of 1758, are currently treated subjectively 

 on taxonomic grounds as synonyms of another, and by a First Reviser choice made by 

 Aurivillius in 1882 the name neaerea Linnaeus takes precedence over the name tiphus Lin- 

 naeus. 



The name Corybas Boisduval is invalid, be< ause it is a junior objective synonym of the name 

 Pyrrhogyra Hiibner, 1 1819], of which also Papilio tiphus Linnaeus is the type-spei ies 



CORYCIA Hiibner, 1825, Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : pi. [55]. Type-species by monotypy : 



Corycia appias Hiibner, [1825], ibid. 2 : pi. [55]. 



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

 name Corycia Hiibner, [1823] (Verz. behannt. Schmett. (17) : 265), a name bestowed by Hiibner 

 upon a genus of Noctuid moths 



COR YDON llewitson, [1869], ///. diurn. Lep., Lycaenidae : 1 (text), Suppl. : 1 Type-species 

 by monotypy : Corydou boisduvalii llewitson, [1869 , ibid. : 1 (text), Suppl. : [1] ; 2 (plates), 

 Suppl. : suppl. pi. 1, figs 1,2. 



The name Corydon Hewitson is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, it being a junior 

 homonym of no less than four older generic names consisting of the same word. The references 

 to these earlier names are the following : (a) Corydon Lesson, 1828 (Traile (hit. 1 : 177) ; 

 (b) Corydon Wagler, [1832] {Ahh. K bayern. Akad. Wiss. Wien 1 (1829-1830) : 504) ; (c) 

 Corydon (lloger, 1841, Gemeiu. Naturg. (1) : 264 ; (d) Corydon Deyrolle, 1864, Ann. Soc. 

 ent. Belg. 8 : 114. The name Corydou Hewitson was replaced l>v the name Heuiitsonia by 

 Kirby in 1871. 



CORYPHAEOLA Butler, 1878, Ann. Mag. uat. Hist. (5) 2 : 284. Type-species by original 

 designation : Kallima eurodoce Westwood, [Dec. 1850], in Doubleday, Gen. diuni. Lep. 

 (2) : 325, nolo, pi. 54*. fig. 1. 



CORYTHAi:01.0S Mabille, 1904, in Wytsman, Gen. Ins. 17 (11) : 105 (an Incorrect Subse- 

 quent Spelling of Koruthaialos Watson, 1893). 



COSMODESMUS Haase, [1891], Bibl. tool., Heft 8 (Erster Th.) (Lief. 1) : 15. Type-species 

 by selection by Hemming (1964, An/not. lep. (4) : 135) : Papilio protesilaus Linnaeus, 1758, 

 Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 463. 



Commenting on this name, Kirby in 1896 (in Allen's Nat. Libr., Lepid. 2 : 272) stated : 

 " We may perhaps restrict this name, used by Haase with a very wide extension, to the follow- 

 ing species (protesilaus Linn.) and its allies." Formerly, I looked upon this as constituting the 

 selection of the above species as the type-species of this genus, but later I took the view 

 that, although Kirby certainly intended that this species should be regarded as typifying 

 Cosmodesmus, the words quoted above — and, in particular, the use of the word " perhaps " — 

 fall short of a definite type-selection. Accordingly, in order to dispel any doubts on this 

 subject, I myself in 1964 selected Papilio protesilaus as type-species. 



The name Cosmodesmus Haase, so defined, is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of the 

 name Protesilaus Swainson, 1832. 



COSMOLYCE Toxopeus, 1927, Tijdschr. Ent. 70 : 268, nota. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio boelicus Linnaeus, 1767, Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 789. 



The name Cosmolyce Toxopeus is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Lampides 

 Hiibner, [18 19]. It was proposed during the short period when it was erroneously supposed 

 that a quite different species (Lampides zethus Hiibner, [1819]) was the type-species of the 

 the genus Lampides Hiibner.
