FABIUS Duncan, 1837, in Jardine's Nat. Lib. Ent. 5 (Foreign Butts) : 167. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Papilio hippona Fabricius, 1777, Gen. Ins. : 265. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio hippona Fabricius is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Papilio fabius Cramer, [1776] {Uitl. Kapellen 1 (8) : 141, pi. 90, 

 figs C, D.) 



FABRIC I AN A Reuss, 1920, Ent. Mitt. 9 : 92 nota. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio niobe Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 481. 



Apparently forgetting that he had published this name in 1920, Reuss published it again as a 

 new name in 1922 (Arch. Naturgesch. 87 (1921) (A) 11 : 197), again designating Papilio niobe 

 as type-species. 



The Commission, by its Ruling given in Opinion 501 (1958, Opin. int. Comm. zool. Notn. 

 18 : 1-64) placed the name Fabriciana Reuss on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology 

 as name No. 1244. 



FALCAPICA Klots, 1930, Bull. Brooklyn ent. Soc. 28 : 83. Type-species through Section (i) 

 (replacement names) of Article 67 : Papilio genutia Fabricius, 1793, Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 193. 



The name Falcapica Klots was introduced as a replacement for the name Midea Herrich- 

 Schaeffer, 1867, which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. Papilio genutia is the type- 

 species of Midea and is therefore automatically the type-species of the replacement genus 

 Falcapica Klots. Klots in addition designated Papilio genutia as type-species, but this action 

 was unnecessary, since, as explained above, that species was automatically the type-species of 

 this genus as from the moment the name Falcapica was published. 



The name Papilio genutia Fabricius is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the name 

 Papilio genutia Cramer, [1779] (Uitl. Kapellen 3 (18) : 23, pi. 206, figs C, D), which applies to a 

 species of an entirely different group (Oriental Danaids). 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio genutia Fabricius is currently treated 

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

 species Mancipium midea Hubner, [1809] (Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : pi. [142]). It is by the 

 specific name midea Hubner that this species is now known. 



FALCUNA Stempffer & Bennett, 1963, Bull. Br. Mus. nat. Hist. (Ent.) 13 (6) : 174. Type- 

 species by original designation : Liptena libyssa Hewitson, 1866, Exot. Butt. Pentila <&■ Liptena 

 pi. 1, figs 5, 6. 



FALGA Mabille, 1897, Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. 66 : 211. Type-species by selection by Godman, 

 [1901], in Godman & Salvin, Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 609 : Carystus jeconia 

 Butler, 1870, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1870 : 501. 



Mabille stated that he established this genus for an insect, of which he had received a speci- 

 men from Dr. Staudinger under the manuscript specific name mirabilis. He went on to say 

 that he was convinced that this insect was the same as that which Butler had in 1870 described 

 under the name Carystus jeconia, though Staudinger's mirabilis differed in certain respects 

 from Butler's description of his jeconia. He concluded however that it would be safe to 

 identify these nominal taxa with one another; he accordingly adopted the name jeconia Butler, 

 placing Staudinger's manuscript name mirabilis in the synonymy of jeconia. Fortunately, it 

 is not necessary for the present purpose to pursue the taxonomic question of the identity 

 of Staudinger's mirabilis, for the nominal species Carystus jeconia Butler, the identity of 

 which is fully understood, was unequivocally placed by Mabille in his genus Falga and was 

 definitely selected as type-species by Godman in 1901. 



FAUNIA Poey, 1847, Mem. Soc. econ. Habana (2) 3 : 178. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio orphise Cramer, [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (4) : 67, pi. 42, figs E, F. 



The name Faunia Poey is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Faunia Robineau-Desvoidy, 

 1830 (Mim. pris. Acad. Sci., Paris 2 : 279).
