CUPIDOPSIS Karsch, 1895, Ent. Nachr. 21 : 298. Type-species by original designation : 

 Lycaena jobates Hopffer, 1855, Ber. Verh. Akad. Wiss. Berlin 1855 : 642. 



CUPITHA Moore, 1884, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 53 (1) : 47. Type-species by original 

 designation : Cupitha tympanifera Moore, 1884, ibid. 53 (1) : 58. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Cupitha tympanifera is currently treated 

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

 older-established nominal species Pamphilia purreea Moore, 1877, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1877 : 

 594, pl- 58, figs 9. 10. 



CURETIS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 102. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 150) : Papilio aesopus Fabricius, 

 1 78 1, Spec. Ins. 2 : 125. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio aesopus is currently treated subjec- 

 tively on taxonomic grounds as representing the same taxon as that represented by the older- 

 established nominal species Papilio thetis Drury, [1773] {III. nat. Hist. 2 : index et 16, pl. 9, 

 ngs 3, 4). 



CYANE Felder (C), 1861, Nova Acta Leop. Carol. 28 (3) : 22. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Callithea leprieuri Feisthamel, 1835, Mag. Zool., CI. IX Ins. 5 : pl. 122 et explic. 



The name Cyane Felder is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Callithea Feist- 

 hamel, 1835. 



CYANIROIDES de Niceville, 1890, Butts India Burmah Ceylon 3 : 33. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Logania andersonii Moore, 1884, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 53 (1) : 22. 



CYANIROIDES Matsumura, 1919, Thous. Ins. Japan, Addit. 3 : 736. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Lycaena ogasawaraensis Pryer, 1886, Rhop. nihon. : 10, pl. 2, fig. 13. 



Cyaniroides Matsumura is invalid, as it is junior homonym of Cyaniroides de Niceville, 

 1890. 



CYANIRIOIDES Hemming, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (10) 3 : 227 (an Incorrect Subsequent 

 Spelling of Cyaniroides Matsumura, 1919). 



CYANIRIS Dalman, 1816, K. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl. 1816 (1) : 63. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Cyaniris argianus Dalman, 1816, ibid. 1816 (1) : 95. 



In his diagnosis of this genus on page 63 Dalman cited only his new species Cyaniris argianus 

 which, as pointed out by Tutt ([1906], Nat. Hist. Brit. Butts 1 : 313), is therefore the type- 

 species by monotypy, though further species were added later (: 94-101). 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Cyaniris argianus is currently treated 

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

 the older-established nominal species Papilio semiargus Rottemburg, 1775 {Der Natur- 

 forscher 6 : 20). 



CYBDELIS Boisduval, [1836], Roret's Suite a Buffon, Hist. nat. Ins., Consid. gen. Lepid. 

 1 : pl. 9 [= p. 5B], fig. 3. Type-species by monotypy : Cybdelis phaesyla Hiibner, 

 [1827-1831], Zutr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 3 : 22, pl. [83], figs 479, 480. 



The specific name of the type-species was misspelled " phaesila " on Boisduval's plate. 



CYCLARGUS Nabokov, 1945, Psyche 52 : 14. Type-species by original designation : 

 Lycaena ammon Lucas, 1857, in Sagra, Hist.fis. pol. nat. Isla Cuba 7 : 612, pl. 16, figs 7 $, 

 7a, 7b $. 



CYCLOGLYPHA Mabille, 1903, in Wytsman, Gen. Ins. 17 (A) : 45 (as Cycloglypha), 70 (as 

 Cyclogypha). Type-species by selection by Lindsey (1925, Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 18 : 84) : 

 Hesperia thrasibulus Fabricius, 1793, Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 346. 



As shown above, this name was published with two Original Spellings. On page 45 this 

 generic name appeared in a key, while on page 70, where the second variant spelling appeared, 

 Mabille gave a description of the genus and for the first time cited nominal species as belonging 

 to it. Luckily, Mabille himself noticed what had happened and in the concluding portion
