GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 217 



HETAERA Hoffmannsegg, 1818, Zool. Mag. 1 (2) : 106 (an Unjustified Emendation of Haetera 

 Fabricius, 1807). 



HETEROCHROA Boisduval, [1836], (Roret's Suite a Buffon), Hist. nat. Ins., Spec. gen. 

 Lepid. 1 : pi. 8 [= pi. 4B], fig. 4. Type-species by monotypy : Heterochroa serpa Boisdu- 

 val, [1836], ibid., Spec. gen. Lepid. 1 : pi. 8 [= pi. 4B], fig. 4. 



HETEROCREON Kirby, [1904], in Hiibner, Samml. exot. Schmett. (Wytsman's facsimile ed.), 

 Additional Notes : 101. Type-species by monotypy : Papilio polytes Linnaeus, 1758, 

 Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 460. 



The name Heterocreon Kirby is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Menelaides 

 \ liibner, [1819]. 



HETERONYMPHA Wallengren, 1858, Ofvers. VetenskAkad. Fork., Stockh. 15 : 78. Type- 

 species by selection by Butler (1868, Ent. mon. Mag. 4 : 195) : Papilio merope Fabricius, 

 1775. Syst. Ent. : 495. 



HETEROPIA Mabille, 1889, Le Naturaliste (2) 11 : 68. Type-species by selection by Watson 

 (1893, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1893 : 22) : Heteropia imitatrix Mabille, 1889, ibid. (2) 11 : 68. 



The name Heteropia Mabille is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Heteropia Carter, 1886 

 [Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (5) 18 : 47). It has been replaced by the name Codatractus Lindsey, 

 I <)2 1. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Heteropia imitatrix is currently treated 

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

 lished nominal species Telegonus imalena Butler, 1874 (Lep. exot. : 109, pi. 40, fig. 1). Further, 

 the taxon represented by the nominal species Telegonus imalena Butler is currently treated 

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

 nominal species Eudamus bryaxis Hewitson, 1867, Descr. One Hundred new Spec. Hesp. 

 [(1)] : 11. 



HETEROPSIS Westwood, [1850], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 323, pi. 63, fig. 5. 

 Type-species by monotypy : Heteropsis drepana Westwood, [1850], in Doubleday, ibid. 

 (2) : 323, nota, pi. 63, fig. 5 (generic name misspelled as Haeteropsis on pi. 63). 



HETEROPTERUS Dumeril, 1806, Zoologic analytique : 271 (no nominal species cited). 

 Type-species by subsequent selection made by Hemming (1934, Gen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 167) 

 under Article 69(a) (ii) (3) from among the first nominal species to be placed in the genus 

 (Duponchel, 1835, in Godart, Hist. nat. Lipid. Fr. Suppl. 1 (Diurnes) : 41) : Papilio 

 aracinthus Fabricius, 1777, Gen. Ins. : 271. 



The name Heteropterus was first published in 1806, in which year it appeared both in the 

 French text of Dumeril's book and also in Froriep's German-language edition issued under the 

 title A nalytische Zoologie. The precise dates of publication of these two editions is not known, 

 but this is not a matter of practical importance, because the texts of these volumes are 

 identical; in each the name Heteropterus appeared on page 271. 



No nominal species was placed by Dumeril in this genus in 1806. When Dumeril next 

 dealt with the name (1823, Consid. gin. Class. Ins. : 222, pi. 41, figs 6-9 [incorrectly cited in 

 the text as 42, fig. 2]), he once more cited no nominal species as belonging to it; in the ex- 

 planation to the plate referred to above he designated the species there figured by the French 

 vernacular name " Heteroptere miroir ". The species concerned (which is still popularly 

 known by this vernacular name among French collectors) is now, and for long has been known 

 as Heteropterus morpheus (Pallas) (originally described as Papilio morpheas Pallas, 1771, 

 Reise durch verschied. Provinz. Russisch. Reichs 1 : 471). 



The first author to cite duly established nominal species as belonging to the genus Heterop- 

 terus was Duponchel who in 1823 (loc. cit., Suppl. 1 : 41) cited three such species. The first of 

 these was Papilio aracinthus Fabricius, 177, the taxon represented by which is — and for long 

 has been — treated as the same as that represented by the nominal species Papilio morpheus 

 Pallas discussed above. Kirby in 1870 (/. linn. Soc. Lond., Zool. 10 : 500) selected as the
