GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 149 



The first occasion on which the name helmsii was validly published in combination with a 

 generic name was when it was so published by Butler in March 1884 in the Annals. Butler 

 must therefore be treated as the author of this name which has to be dated from 1884. Butler 

 did not give a re-description of helmsii but, in addition to providing a figure, he expressly 

 incorporated by reference what had been written about this species by Fereday. 



DOLESCHALIA Marschall, 1873, Nomencl. zool. : 288 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of 

 Doleschallia Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), i860). 



DOLESCHALLIA Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), i860, Wien. ent. Monats. 4 : 399. Type-species 

 by selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 158) : Papilio 

 bisaltide Cramer, [1777], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (9) : 9, pi. 102, figs C, D. 



This generic name, as shown above, was first published by C. & R. Felder jointly in a paper 

 published in December i860. It must be noted however that it was also published as a new 

 name by Cajetan Felder in the following year (1861, Nova Ada Leop. Carol. 28 (No. 3) : 14). 

 This latter paper has often been treated incorrectly as being the place where the name Dole- 

 schallia was first published. 



When this nominal genus was first established, two nominal species were cited as belonging 

 to it. Scudder, following Kirby (1871, Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep. : 193), treated these nominal 

 species as representing a single taxonomic unit and accordingly considered this genus to be 

 monobasic. Fortunately, this error on Scudder's part is of no consequence, for he unequivo- 

 cally specified Papilio bisaltide Cramer, the second of the originally included species, as being 

 the type-species.

Toxopeus reported that the above misspelling had been published by Piepers but did not 

 give a reference to the paper concerned.

This name is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Doricha Reichenbach, 1853 (/. Orni-

DORILA Gray, 1832, in Griffith's, Cuvier's Anim. Kingdom 15 (Class Ins. 2) : pi. 102. Type- 

 species by monotypy : Erycina (Dorila) asteris Gray, 1832, ibid. 15 (Class Ins. 2) : pi. 102 ; 

 no mention of this nominal species in the text. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Erycina {Dorila) asteris Gray is currently 

 treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the 

 older-established nominal species Papilio dorilas Cramer, [1775] (Uitl. Kapellen 1 (4) : 75, 

 pl. 48, fig. C).

The name Doritis is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Parnassius Latreille, 1804. 



It should be noted for purposes of record that for many years the name Doritis was wrongly
