Fabricius invalid under the Law of Homonymy. To protect this from happening the Com- 

 mission — as has already been explained — suppressed the name Euploea [Illiger] under its 

 Plenary Powers, thus validating the name Euploea Fabricius.

 EUPLOEOPSIS de Niceville, 1886, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 55 (5) : 433. Type-species by 



selection by Kirby (1896, in Allen's Nat. Libr., Lepid. 2 : 280) : Papilio telearchus Hewitson, 



1852, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. (2) 2 : 22, pi. 6, fig. 3. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio telearchus Hewitson is currently 



treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being a subspecies of the taxon represented by 



the nominal species Zelima paradoxa Zinken, [1831], (Nova Acta Leop. Carol. 15 (1) : 162, 



pi. 15, figs 9, 10).

EUPTICHIA Geyer, [1832], in Hiibner, Zutr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 4 : 12 (an Incorrect 

 Subsequent Spelling of Euptychia Hiibner, 1818). 



EUPTOIETA Doubleday, [May, 1848], Gen. diurn. Lep. (1) : 168. Type-species by selection 

 by Scudder (1872, 4th Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Sci. 1871 : 43) : Papilio claudia Cramer, 

 [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (6) : 109, pi. 69, figs E, F. 



EUPTYCHIA Hiibner, 1818, Zutr. z. Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : 20. Type-species by selection 

 by Hemming (1937, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 6 : 150) : Euptychia mollina Hiibner, 1818, 

 ibid. 1 : 20, pi. [19], figs 105, 106. 



At a time when it was erroneously supposed that the name Euptychia was first published by 

 Hiibner in the Verzeichniss ((4) : 54), which was then treated as having been published in 1816, 

 whereas in fact the greater part of the butterfly section, including signature 4 here in question, 

 is now considered not to have been published until 1819. Butler selected (1868, Ent. 

 mon. Mag. 4 : 194) Papilio herse Cramer, [1775] (Uitl. Kapellen 1 (1) : 15, pi. 10, figs C, 

 D) as type-species and Euptychia came to be accepted as the name for the large Neotropical 

 genus of which the above species is a member. When it came to be realized that the name 

 Euptychia was first published in the Zutrdge in 181 8 (that is, one year before the relevant 

 portion of the Verzeichniss), it became impossible to maintain Papilio herse as the type-species, 

 as it was not one of the two species placed in Euptychia in the Ziitrage. Fortunately, one 

 of those species, Euptychia mollina Hiibner, belonged to the same general group, and its 

 selection as type-species by myself in 1937 g ave a valid basis for the current interpretation of 

 this genus.

 Beauvois [1813-1830], Ins. Afr. Amer. : 238, pi. 6, figs. A, Aa. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio dubius Palisot de Beauvois is currently 

 treated subjectively as being the same as that represented by the older-established nominal
