GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 215 



Henotesia wardii and Mycalesis anganoyo are entirely distinct from one another. On the 

 other hand, the taxon represented by the nominal species Henotesia wardii Butler is currently 

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

 established nominal species Mycalesis andravahana Mabille, 1878 (Bull. Soc. zool. Fr. 3 : 82). 



HEODES Dalman, 1816, K. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl., Stockholm 1816 (No. 1) : 63. 

 Type-species by monotypy : Papilio virgaureae Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 484. 

 In his diagnosis on page 63 Dalman cited only Papilio virgaureae Linnaeus which is there- 

 fore the type-species by monotypy, though further species were added later (: 91). 



HERACLIDES Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (6) : 83. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 187) : Papilio thoas Linnaeus, 1771, 

 Mantissa Plant. 2 : 536. 



The name Heraclides Hiibner was published on the same date (and in the same work) as the 

 name Calaides Hiibner, and in consequence the relative precedence to be accorded to these 

 names depends on the choice of the First Reviser. In this case the choice was made by myself 

 in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 85), when I chose the name Heraclides Hiibner to take precedence 

 over the name Calaides Hiibner. 



HERINGIA Ferreira d'Almeida, 1924, Bol. Soc. ent. Brasil 23 (4-6) : 14. Type-species through 

 Section (i) (replacement names) Article 67 : Rhadinoptera umbraticola Ferreira d'Almeida, 

 1922, Melanges Up. 1 : 92. 



Ferreira d'Almeida introduced the generic name Heringia as a replacement for Pigritia 

 Ferreira d'Almeida, 1922, which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. 



The name Heringia Ferreira d'Almeida is however also invalid under the Law of Homonymy, 

 it being a junior homonym of Heringia Rondani, 1856 (Dipt. ital. Prodr. 1 : 53) and also of 

 Heringia Hedemann, 1894 (Stett. ent. Ztg 55 : 293). There is however a valid replacement 

 name for Pigritia Ferreira d'Almeida, namely the name Pigritina Hedicke, 1923. 



HERMATHENA Hewitson, 1874, Bolivian Butts Buckley : 15. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Hermathena candidata Hewitson, 1874, ibid. : 16. 



HERMIANAX Fruhstorfer, [191 1], in Seitz, Grossschmett. Erde 9 : 326. Type-species by 

 original designation : Neorina lowii latipicta Fruhstorfer, 1897, Soc. ent. 11 (20) : 164. 



HERM1AS Fruhstorfer, [191 1], in Seitz, Grosschmett. Erde 9 : 324. Type-species by mono- 

 typy : Satyrus verma Kollar, [1844], in Hiigel, Kashmir 4 (2) : 447, pi. 16, figs 1, 2. 



HERMINAX Gaede, 1931, in Bryk's Lep. Cat. 43 : 316 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of 



Hermianax Fruhstorfer, [191 1]). 

 HERON A Doubleday, [1848], Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 41, fig. 3. Type-species by monotypy : 



Herona marathus Doubleday, [1848], ibid. (2) : pi. 41, fig. 3. 



In the text (: 294) published in 1850 in the continuation of the above work by Westwood 



after Doubleday's death the above was again the only species placed in the genus Herona. 



HERONIA Mabille & Boullet, 1912, Ann. Sci. nat., Paris, Zool. (9) 16 : 139. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Telegonus labriaris Butler, 1877, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1877 : 148. 



HEROS Illiger, 1802, Mag. f. Insektenk. (Illiger) 1 : 199. 



The so-called name Heros is a ghost name, never having been published as a genus-group 

 name. The word " Heros " was used by Illiger in the style of XVIIIth century writers as a 

 term to denote a group of species within the genus Papilio Linnaeus. So published, the word 

 Heros is a member of the class of terms which were rejected as possessing no status in zoological 

 nomenclature by the Commission in its Opinion 124 published in 1936 (Smithson. miscell. 

 Coll. 73, No. 4 : 1—2; republished in facsimile in 1958, Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 1 

 (B) : 465-466). 



The reputed name Heros Illiger is mentioned here only to forestall any risk of misunder- 

 standing arising from the action of Gaede in 1932 (in Strand's Lep. Cat. 51 : 78) in stating that 

 this was the name of a subgenus established by Illiger, which (as already explained) is not the 

 case.
