GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 179 



This generic name is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the name Enomma Boheman, 1858 

 (Eugenies Resa Dl. 2, Zool. 1, Ins. : 101). It has been replaced by the name Catana Kirby, 

 1 871. 

 EUPAMIDES Hubner, [1819], Verz, bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 101. 



The sole species placed in this genus by Hubner is not a butterfly. 



EUPHAEDRA Hubner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (3) : 39. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 172): Papilio cyparissa Cramer, 

 [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (4) : 63, pi. 39, figs D, E. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio cyparissa is currently treated sub- 

 jectively on taxonomic grounds as being congeneric with Najas themis Hubner, [1807], the 

 type-species of the genus Najas Hubner, [1807]. On the basis of this subjective synonymy the 

 generic name Euphaedra Hubner is a junior subjective synonym of Najas Hubner, which, as 

 shown above, has twelve years' priority. It would be most objectionable however if the name 

 Enphaedra which is very well-known and lias been used 1 ontinuously since 1871 (Kirby, Syn. 

 Cat. diurn. Lep. : 247) for the genus of African Limenitids concerned, were to be replaced by 

 the name Najas which has never been so used and has indeed only been brought to light in 

 comparatively recent years. In the circumstances the Commission has been asked to reject 

 the name Najas Hubner, thereby clearing the path for the continued use of the name Euphae- 

 dra Hubner, which, pending the outcome of the foregoing application is here accepted (in 

 accordance with Article 50 of the Code) in preference to the older name Najas Hubner. 



EUPHOEADES Hubner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (6) : 83. Type-species by selection 

 by Scudder (1872, 4//; Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Sci. 1871 : 65) : Papilio glaucus Linnaeus, 

 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 460. 



At this point attention must be drawn to the nominal species Papilio turnus Linnaeus, 1771, 

 {Mantissa Plant. 2 : 536), which represents a taxon which is currently considered on taxonomic 

 grounds to be a form of the taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio glaucus Linn- 

 aeus, 1758. The relevance of this point to the present case resides in the fact that Papilio 

 turnus Linnaeus is the type-species of the nominal genus Jasoniades Hubner, [1919], the name 

 of which was published on the same page (: 83) of the Verzeichniss as the name Euphoeades 

 Hubner. In these circumstances the relative precedence to be accorded to these two generic 

 names depends on the choice of the First Reviser. In this case the First Reviser was myself 

 when in 1934 (Gen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 147) I chose the name I .uphoeades Hubner to take 

 precedence after the name Jasoniades Hubner, of which therefore Euphoeades Hubner was thus 

 made a junior subjective synonym. 



EUPHYDRYAS Scudder, 1872, 4th Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Sci. 1871 : 48. Type-species by 

 original designation : Papilio phaeton Drury, [1773], III- nat. Hist. 1 : index et 42, pi. 21, 

 figs 3. 4 ?• 



EUPHYES Scudder, 1872, 4//; Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Sci. 1871 : 80. Type-species by 

 original designation : Hesperia metacomet Harris, 1862, Treatise Ins. injur. Veget. (Flint's 

 ed.) : 317. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Hesperia metacomet is currently treated sub- 

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

 nominal species Hesperia (?) vestris Boisduval, 1852 (Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. (2) 10 : 317). 



EUPITHES Westwood, [1850], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 287. Type-species by 

 tautonymy through Section (d) of Article 68 : Pallene eupithes Doubleday, [Nov. 1848]. 



The name Eupithes was published by Westwood as a manuscript name of Doubleday's, 

 being placed by Westwood in the synonymy of Harma Doubleday, [1848]. As a name pub- 

 lished in a synonymy, the name Eupithes Westwood possesses under Article 1 1 (d) no status 

 in zoological nomenclature.
