200 FRANCIS HEMMING 



decided to seek the aid of the Commission to protect the universal and long-established usage 

 of these names. The full history of that application has been given in the discussion on the 

 name Colias. It is therefore only necessary here to take note that the desired protection 

 was afforded by the action of the Commission in designating Papilio hyale Linnaeus, 1758, to 

 be the type-species of Colias Fabricius, this action having the simultaneous effect also of 

 validating the name Gonepteryx for Papilio rhamni. The decision of the Commission in this 

 matter was promulgated in Opinion 146, published in 1943 (Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 

 2 : 109-121). 



CONERILIA Shirozu & Yamamoto, 1956, Sieboldia 1 (4) : 339, 348 & errata slip facing page 

 422. Type-species by original designation : Thecla seraphim Oberthur, 1886, Bull. Soc. 

 ent. Fr. 1886 : 12. 



As already noted, this name appeared in the text misspelled as Gonelilia. After the pages 

 in question had been printed but before they were published in Part 4 of volume 1 of Sieboldia, 

 the fact that this name had been misspelled in this way was detected by the authors who caused 

 an Errata slip correcting the spelling to Gonerilia to be inserted facing page 422. This correc- 

 tion complies with all the requirements of the Code relating to the emendation of names and 

 accordingly the spelling Gonerilia is the correct spelling of this name. 



GON I APTERY X Westwood, 1840, Introd. Class. Ins. 2 Syn. : 87 (an Unjustified Emendation 

 of Gonepteryx [Leach], [1815]). 



If Goniapteryx Westwood had been a Justified Emendation of Gonepteryx [Leach], it would 

 nevertheless have been invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Goniapteryx Perty, 1833 {Del. 

 Anim. artic. Brasil (3) : 162). 



GONIARUS Mabille, 1891, Bull. C. R. Soc. ent. Belg. 35 : lx (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling 

 of Goniurus Hiibner, [1819]). 



GONILOBA Westwood, [1852], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 511. Type-species by 

 selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 179) : Niconiades 

 xanthaphes Hiibner, [1821], Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : pi. [147]. 



In listing the name of the type-spe o ies, Westwood without justification emended its spelling 

 from xanthaphes to xanthoptes. 



The name Goniloba Westwood is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Niconiades 

 Hiibner, [1821]. 



GONIOPTERYX Wallengren, 1853, Skand. Dag f jar. : 145 (an Unjustified Emendation of 

 Gonepteryx [Leach], [1815]). 



Wallengren said nothing to show whether the above spelling was an Unjustified Emendation. 

 It might therefore be only an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling, but this seems unlikely, since 

 (as shown below) this rather peculiar spelling when published later by Burmeister was un- 

 doubtedly a deliberate emendation. It is accordingly here treated as an emendation made by 

 Wallengren and not as an erroneous spelling on that author's part. 



GONIOPTERYX Burmeister, 1878, Descr. phys. Rep. Argentine 5 (Lepid.) : 75, 104 (an Un- 

 justified Emendation of Gonepteryx [Leach], [1815]). 



Burmeister made it absolutely clear that the spelling which he used for this generic name was 

 a deliberate emendation by himself of the name Gonepteryx [Leach] , by inserting the words 

 " Leach (emendat.) " immediately below the cross-heading " Genre Goniopteryx " on page 104. 

 In a footnote to the same page Burmeister underlined the foregoing notations as follows : 

 " L'orthographe Gonepterix [sic] ne peut pas etre justifiee par les regies de la grammaire 

 grecque."

 Spelling of Goniurus Hiibner, [18 19]).
