The taxon represented by the nominal species Helias pyralina Moschler is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older- 

 established nominal species Hesperia begga Prittwitz, 1868 (Stett. ent. Ztg 29 : 198).

 The taxon represented by the nominal species Vanessa (Grapta) c-avgenteum Kirby is 

 currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by 

 the older-established nominal species Papilio progne Cramer, [1775] (Uitl. Kapellen 1 (1) : 9, 

 pi. 5, figs E, F.) 



GRETA Hemming, 1934, Gen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 28. Type-species by original designation : 

 Hymenitis diaphane Hiibner, 18 16, Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (1) : 8 (as defined by fig. 3 on 

 plate 7 in Drury's ///. nat. Hist., which was named Papilio diaphanus in the index to volume 2 

 of that work after having been described but not named on page 13, that specimen having been 

 selected by Hemming (1964, Annot. lep. (3) : 89) to represent the lectotype both of Papilio 

 diaphanus Drury, [1773] and of Hymenitis diaphane Hiibner. 



The nominal species Hymenitis diaphane was established by Hiibner solely upon the basis 

 of bibliographical references to works by previous authors. The first of these references was 

 to Papilio diaphanus Drury, [1773] (III- nat. Hist. 2 : index et 13, pi. 7, fig. 3), the type-material 

 of which forms part, therefore, of the syntypes of Hymenitis diaphane Hiibner. By the 

 lectotype-selections cited at the head of the present note, the specific name diaphane Hiibner 

 became a junior objective synonym of diaphanus Drury. 



The name Greta was introduced when it was realized that the name of the genus — Hymenitis 

 Hiibner, 1816 — in which the above species had till then been placed was invalid under the Law 

 of Homonymy.

 designation : Phareas coeleste Westwood, [1852], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 

 78, fig. 4. 



The name Grynopsis Watson is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Phareas 

 Westwood, [1852]).
