The name Hipparchioides Butler is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Hetero- 

 nympha Wallengren, 1858.

 of Hyreus Hiibner, [18 19]). 



HIRDAPA Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Land. 1883 : 299. Type-species by original designa-

HIRSUTIKA Tutt, [April 1909], Nat. His. Brit. Butts. 3 : 154. Type-species by original 

 designation : Papilio damon [Denis & Schirfermuller 1 , 1775, Ankiindung [sic] eines syst.

In addition to publishing this name (as shown above) in April 1909, Tutt published it again 

 as a name one month later (May 1909, Ent. Rec. 21 : 108), also with Papilio damon designated 

 as type-species. 



The name Hirsutina Tutt is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Agrodiaetus 

 Hiibner, 1822. 



HIRSUTIS Haensch, [1909], in Seitz, Grossschmett. Erde 5 : 119. Type-species by selection by 

 Fox (1940, Trans, amer. ent. Soc. 66 : 175) : Papilio harmonia Cramer, [1777], Uitl. Kapclleu

HISTORIS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (3) : 35. Type-species by selection by 

 Barnes & Benjamin, (1926, Bull. S. Calif. Acad. Sci. 25 : 16) : Papilio odius Fabricius, 1775, 

 Syst. Ent. : 457. 



The nominal species Papilio odius Fabricius was not recognized by Hiibner as a taxononiK - 

 ally valid species, but the specific name odius Fabricius, together with the specific name Papilio 

 orion Fabricius, 1775, was cited by Hiibner in the synonymy of the nominal taxon Historis 

 odia which he established ( : 35) at the same time as he established the genus Historis. Under 

 the present revised Code (Article 69 (a) (i)) a nominal species published by the original author of 

 a generic name in the synonymy of a nominal species recognized by the author as belonging to 

 the genus in question — i.e. in the way in which specific name odius Fabricius was cited by 

 Hiibner on the above occasion — the nominal species, the name of which was so cited, itself 

 ranks as one of the originally included species. Accordingly, the selection of Papilio odius 

 Fabricius as the type-species of Historis Hiibner made by Barnes & Benjamin in 1926 was 

 perfectly valid. 



HOLGUINIA Evans, 1955, Cat. Amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 266, 297. Type-species by original 

 designation : Holguinia holguin Evans, 1955, ibid. 4 : 297, pi. 74, fig. L.17 (genit.) 



HOLOCHILA Felder (C), 1862, Yerh. zool. -hot. Ges. Wien 12 : 490 et nota. Type-species 

 through Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Papilio erinus Fabricius, 1775, Syst. 

 Ent. : 525. 



In the descriptive text Felder placed in this genus only the new nominal species Holochila 

 absimilis and this would have been the type-species by monotypy, if it had not been for the 

 fact that in a footnote he stated that he proposed the generic name Holochila as a replacement 

 for the name Erina Swainson, 1833. In these circumstances Holochila automatically takes 

 as its type-species the species which is the type-species of the nominal genus (Erina Swainson) 

 which it was introduced to replace, namely the nominal species Papilio erinus Fabricius, 1775. 

 Felder was in error in believing that the generic name Erina Swainson was invalid. It is in 

 fact a nomenclatorially available name not in need of replacement for any reason. According- 

 ly, the replacement name Holochila is itself invalid, as a junior objective synonym of Erina 

 Swainson, 1833, which it was mistakenly introduced to replace. 



HOLODESMUS Waterhouse & Lyell, [25th July], 1914, Butts Australia : 6, 68. Type-species

The name Holodesmus Waterhouse & Lyell is invalid under the Law of Priority by the narrow 

 margin of two days, being a junior objective synonym oiPraetaxila Frustorfer, [23rd July] 1914.
