The taxa represented respectively by the nominal species Lasaia militaris Hoffer and Siseme 

 luculenta Erschoff (Trud. russk. ent. Obsch. 8 (2) : 144-145, pi. 4, fig. 4) are currently identified 

 with one another, the name luculenta Erschoff being commonly treated as being the older of 

 these two names. The validity of this belief has been examined with the following results : 

 (a) The Part of volume 35 of Stett. ent. Ztg containing the name Lasaia militaris ( : 365) bears on 

 page 329 the statement that it was published in 1874 in the three-month period October- 

 December, (b) In a survey of the publication of the Entomological Society of Russia in the 

 period 1859-1908 Oshanin stated (1910, Tabl. gen. Publ. Soc. ent. Russ. : 2) that Part 2 of the 

 Trud. (the part containing the name Siseme luculenta) was published in 1875. From these 

 particulars it is clear that the name Lasaia militaris has priority over its subjective synonym 

 Siseme luculenta. 

 HOPFFERIA Rober, [1892], in Schatz, in Staudinger & Schatz, Exot. Schmett. Bd 1 (Th. 2. 

 (Lief. 6) : 252. Type-species by monotypy : Lasaia militaris Hopffer, 1874, Stett. ent. Ztg 

 35 : 365). 



This is not a mere later usage of Hopfferia Staudinger, [1888], of the existence of which 

 Rober must have been unaware for he deliberately introduced it as the name of a new genus 

 (" Gen. nov. "). 



The name Hopfferia Rober is invalid, both as a junior homonym of, and as a junior objective 

 synonym of, Hopfferia Staudinger, [1888].

HORSFIELDIA Riley, 1922, Entomologist 56 : 25. Type-species by original designation : 

 Thecla narada Horsfield, [1828], Descr. Cat. lep. Ins. East India Coy (1) : explic. pi. 1, fig. 8 

 text ( : 98) published in Part 2 in [1829]. 



This name was introduced by Riley during the period when the question of the species to be 

 accepted as the type-species of the genus Amblypodia Horsfield, [1829] was still under discus- 

 sion. As has been explained in the note on the name Amblypodia, it was finally established 

 that the type-species of Amblypodia was Thecla narada Horsfield, the name Horsfieldia Riley 

 accordingly becoming a junior objective synonym of Amblypodia Horsfield.

 Papilio coronis Cramer, [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (4) : 69, pi. 44, figs B, C. 



The name Huphina is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Cepora Billberg, 1820. 



HYADES Boisduval, [1832], in d'Urville, Voy. " Astrolabe ", Faun. ent. 1 (Lepid.) : 157. Type-

The name Hyades Boisduval is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Taenaris 

 Hiibner, [1819], the type-species of which, Taenaris nysa Hubner, [1819], is objectively identi- 

 cal with Papilio jairus Cramer.
