 Papilio sarpedon Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 461. 



The name Dalchina Moore is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Graphium 

 Scopoli, 1777. 



DALCHINIA Hampson, 1888, J. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 57 : 364 (an Incorrect Subsequent 

 Spelling of Dalchina Moore, [1881] Lep. Ceylon 1 (4) : 143).

 Yphthima [sic] hyagriva Moore, 1857, in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East India

When Moore introduced this generic name in Part 14 of volume 2 of his work, he did so in a 

 brief key to genera, at the same designating a type-species. Later in the same year in Part 16 

 (: 94) he gave an extended generic diagnosis. 



DAMAS Godman, [1901], in Godman & Salvin, Biol, centr.-amer. Lep. Rhop. 2 : 621. Type- 

 species by original designation : Goniloba clavus Herrich-Schaeffer, 1869, CorrespBl. zool.- 

 min. Ver. Regensburg 23 : 195 (repaged separate as Prodromus . . 3 : 75). 



DAMIS Boisduval, [1832], in d'Urville, Voy. " Astrolabe ", Faun. ent. 1 (Lep.) : 67. 

 Type-species by selection by Hemming (1964, Annot. Lep. (4) : 132) : Papilio danis Cramer, 

 [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (6) : in, pi. 70, figs E, F as defined by fig. E selected by Hemming 

 (1964, Annot. lep. (4) : 132) to represent the lectotype of this species. 



The name Damis Boisduval has been variously treated by later authors either as an 

 Unjustified Emendation of, or as an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of, the name Danis 

 Fabricius, 1807. It is certainly neither of these things, for Boisduval quite definitely attribu- 

 ted it to himself as a new name. 



The first of the nominal species placed in this genus by Boisduval was his new nominal 

 species Damis sebae Boisduval, [1832] (loc. cit. : 68). In the synonymy given for that species 

 Boisduval cited the name of the nominal species Papilio danis Cramer, [1775]. Under Article 

 69(a) (i) a nominal species, the name of which is cited in the synonymy of the name of a nominal 

 species treated as belonging to a new genus itself ranks as one of the originally included 

 species of that genus. Accordingly, the nominal species Papilio danis Cramer ranks as one of 

 the originally included species of the genus Damis Boisduval and, as shown above has been 

 selected by myself (1964 : 132) as its type-species. 



The interpretation of the nominal species Papilio danis Cramer was placed on a firm 

 footing when in 1964 [Annot. lep. (4) : 132) the specimen figured by Cramer under that name 

 as figure E on plate 70 in volume 1 of the Uitl. Kapellen was selected to represent the lectotype 

 of this species. Since, as shown above, Papilio danis Cramer was identified by Boisduval 

 with his new species Damis sebae, the material on which Cramer's Papilio danis was based 

 forms part of the series of syntypes of Damis sebae Boisduval. Accordingly, when I selected 

 a lectotype for Papilio danis Cramer, I selected [loc. cit. : 132) the same specimen to represent
