used as though its type-species was Papilio apollinus Herbst, 1798, a nominal species bearing 

 a name which is a senior subjective synonym of Papilio thia Hiibner, [1805-1806], the name of 

 the type-species of Archon Hiibner, 1822, the generic name currently used for this species. 

 There was never the slightest justification for treating the above species as the type-species of 

 Doritis Fabricius, of which it was not one of the originally included species. It is likely that 

 this practice had its origin in the fact that in 1819 Hiibner (Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (6) : 89) 

 employed the name Doritis for Papilio thia, being followed uncritically by various authors, 

 until in 1872 (Cistula ent. 1 : 66) Crotch actually went so far as to select Papilio apollinus 

 Herbst as the type-species of Doritis. 



DORITITES Rebel, 1898, S.B. Akad. Wiss. Wien 107: 734-741, 745. 



Rebel placed in this genus the single fossil species Doritites bosniaskii Rebel, 1898 (loc. cit. 

 107: 734-735), which is therefore the type-species by monotypy.

DRACAENURA Swinhoe, 1917, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (8) 20 : 158. 



So far as the butterflies are concerned, this is no more than a ghost-name. What happened 

 was that in the paper in the Annals referred to above Swinhoe described a Pyralid moth 

 under the name Dracaenura arfakalis (: 158). Of the names included in this combination 

 only the specific name arfakalis was new, the generic name Dracaenura being a name published 

 by Meyrick in 1886 {Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1886 : 227). This generic name became a ghost- 

 name in the family Nymphalidae through the above name being listed as belonging to the 

 foregoing family — as a result of a confusion of the recording slips — when Swinhoe's new 

 species arfakalis was noted in the Zoological Record (54 (year 1917) (Ins.) : 143). 



DRAVIRA Moore, [1896], Lep. ind. 3 (25) : 14. Type-species by original designation : Pota- 

 mis ulupi Doherty, 1889, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 58 (1) : 125, pi. 10, fig. 2 <?• 



As is explained in the note on the name Sincana Moore, [1896], published in the same work, 

 Dravira Moore has been given precedence over that name by a First Reviser choice made by 

 myself in 1964 (Annot. Lep. (3) : 79). 



DREPANULA Rober, [1892], in Schatz, in Staudinger & Schatz, Exot. Schmett. Bd 1, Th. 2 

 (6) : 246. Type-species by monotypy : Lemonias calvus Staudinger, 1887, in Staudinger & 

 Schatz, ibid. Bd 2 : pi. 92. 



The name Drepanula Rober is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Drepanula Frolich, 

 1828 (Enum. Tort. Wiirtt. : 11).

DRUPADIA Distant, August 1884, Rhop. malayana : 233, 236. Type-species by original 

 designation : Myrina ravindra Horsfield, [1829]. 



Distant stated that Drupadia was a manuscript name of Moore's and that Myrina ravindra 

 was the type-species ; and he took responsibility for the publication of this generic name. 

 Actually, as shown above, Moore's paper containing the name Drupadia had been published 

 on 30th June, that is, about one month before the publication of that name by Distant.
