nominal species Hemiargns antibubastus and the nominal species Papilio bubastus Stoll, [1780]. 

 Holding the then-current view that the taxon represented by the nominal species Hemiargus 

 antibubastus Hiibner was the same as that represented by Papilio hanno Stoll, I fell into the 

 error of supposing that on the basis of this subjective identification it would be permissible to 

 accept as valid the selection of the last-mentioned species as the type-species of Hemiargus 

 made by Scudder in 1875. When I returned to this subject in 1934 ( : io 4)» I realized that the 

 procedure which I had followed in 1929 was incorrect and, while maintaining the foregoing 

 synonymy indicated above, I expressly stated that the type-species of this genus was Hemi- 

 argus antibubashis Hiibner, thus providing the genus Hemiargus Hiibner at last with a valid 

 type-species. 



About ten years later Nabokov published a revision of this group of species (1945, Psyche 

 52 : 20), in which he showed that the taxa presented by Hemiargus antibubastus and Papilio 

 hanno respectively were not conspecific with one another and therefore that, contrary to long- 

 established belief, the specific name antibubastus Hiibner could not be regarded on taxonomic 

 grounds as a junior subjective synonym of hanno Stoll. At the same time Nabokov brought 

 forward grounds to show that there was a second taxon of specific rank currently confused 

 with Papilio hanno Stoll. This second species had been given the name Hesperia ceraunus by 

 Fabricius in 1793 (Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 303) (the name ceraunus Fabricius having subsequently 

 been treated incorrectly as a junior subjective synonym of hanno Stoll). Finally, Nabokov 

 identified the taxon represented by Hemiargus antibubastus Hiibner as being the Florida sub- 

 species of the taxon represented by the nominal species Hesperia ceraunus. Nabokov's 

 arrangement of these taxa is here adopted.

No species were cited for this genus in the portion of the text included in Lieferung 306, but 

 these were given in the immediately following portion of the text ( : 386). This formed part of 

 Lieferung 322. It was not published until 1923.

 Hemipteris fumida Mabille, 1889, ibid. (2) 3 : 216. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Hemipteris fumida Mabille is currently 

 treated as representing the same taxon as that represented by the older-established nominal 

 species Pellicia tyana Plotz, 1882 (Stett. ent. Ztg 43 : 255).

HENOTESIA Butler, 1879, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (5) 4 : 228. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Henotesia wardii Butler, 1879, ibid. (5) 4 : 229. 



Butler introduced the nominal genus Henotesia for a particular species occurring in Mada- 

 gascar of which there was material in the collection of the British Museum (Natural History) ; 

 this species Butler had been unable to identify with certainty but suggested that it might be 

 Mycalesis anganavo Ward, Nov. 1871 {Ent. mon. Mag. 8 : 122), but stated that he could not 

 be sure, as he did not know that species in nature and had only Ward's description to assist 

 him. He finished by saying that, if later it were to be found that the species on which he was 

 founding his genus Henotesia was not the true Mycalesis anganavo, then the name Henotesia 

 wardii should be applied to that species. Thus, Butler cited the specific names of two nominal 

 species as belonging to the genus Henotesia ; the nominal species concerned were Mycalesis 

 anganavo Ward and Henotesia wardii Butler ; of these, Ward's species by Butler's own express 

 statement was for him a species inquirenda and, as such, was ineligible for selection as type- 

 species. As the only remaining species, Henotesia wardii Butler is accordingly the type-species 

 by monotypy.
