 species by original designation : Carystus gemmatus Butler, 1872, Cistula ent. 1 : 86. 



DIONANA Moore, [1892], Lep. ind. 1 (n) : 271. Type-species by original designation :

 Deudorix deritas Hewitson, 1874, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1884 : 352. 



DIOPHTALMA Boisduval, [1836], (Roret's Suite a Buffon), Hist. nat. Ins., Consid. gen. 

 Lepid. 1 : pi. 6, fig. 9, pi. 21, fig. 2. Type-species by selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. 

 Acad. Arts. Sci., Boston 10 : 157) : Diophtalma telegone Boisduval, [1836], ibid., Lepid. 

 1 : pi. 21, fig. 2. 



DIOPHTHALMA Agassiz, 1846, Nomencl. zool., Lep. : 22 (an Unjustified Emendation of 

 Diophtalma Boisduval, [1836]). 



DIORHINA Doubleday, 1847, List. Spec. lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. 2 : 3 ( an Unjustified Emendation 

 of Diorina Morisse, [1838]). 



DIORINA Morisse, [1838], Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. 6 (4) : 421. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Diorina laonome Morisse, [1838], ibid. 6 (4) : 422, pi. 14, figs 5, 6. 



Both the generic name Diorina and the specific name laonome were attributed by Morisse 

 to Boisduval, by whom they had presumably been proposed in manuscript. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Diorina laonome Morisse is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older- 

 established Papilio periander Cramer, [1777] (Uitl. Kapellen 2 (16) : 139, pi. 188, fig. C). 



DIORISTE Thieme, 1907, Berl. ent. Z. 51 (2) : 171. Type-species by original designation : 

 Pronophila tauropolis Westwood, [1850], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 65, fig. 1 ; 

 id., [1851], in Doubleday, ibid. (2) : 358. 



DIPHORIDAS Godman & Salvin, [1896], Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 423. Type- 

 species by original designation : Urbanus phalaenoides Hiibner, [18 12], Samml. exot. Schmett. 

 1 : pi. [152]. 



The name Diphoridas is invalid as a junior objective synonym of Helias Fabricius, 1807. 



DIPSAS Westwood, [1851], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 74, fig. 7. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Dipsas ataxus Westwood, [1851], in Doubleday, ibid. (2) : pi. 74, fig. 7 ; id., 

 [1852], ibid. (2) : 480. 



First, it must be noted that the name Dipsas has often been attributed to Doubleday, 

 though in fact it was never validly published by that author. What happened was that this 

 name was published by Doubleday in 1847 (List. Spec. lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. 2 : 25), but, as it 

 there appeared it was invalid as a nomen nudum, Doubleday then citing under this name only 

 two species, both of which were at that time only manuscript species. Both of these names — 

 of which Dipsas ataxus was one — were attributed by Doubleday to Boisduval ; it is possible 

 therefore that it was Boisduval, so well-known as a distributor of manuscript names, who
