GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 223 



HYALENNA Forbes, 1942, J. N.Y. ent. Soc. 40 : 37, 39 (footnote). Type-species by original 

 designation : Ithomia parasippe Hewitson, 1877, Equat. Lepid. Buckley : 85. 



The designation of the type-species for this genus was made in the footnote on Page 39 

 specified above. 



HYALIRIS Scudder, 1875, Proc. amer. Acad. ArtsSci., Boston 10 : 192 (an Incorrect Subsequent 

 Spelling of Hyalyaris Boisduval, 1870). 



HYALITES Doubleday, [1848], Gen. diurn. Lep. (1) : 140. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. ArtsSci., Boston 10 : 193) : Papilio lycia Fabricius, 1775, 

 Syst. Ent. : 464. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio lycia Fabricius is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a form of the taxon represented by the older-established 

 nominal species Papilio encedon Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 488). By an inexplic- 

 able slip of the pen I stated in 1934 (Gen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 53) that it was Acraea lycoa 

 Godart, [1819], which had been selected by Scudder as the type-species of this genus. 



HYALODIA Jordan, 1924, Novit. zool. 31 : 285. Type-species by monotypy : Hypocysta 

 tenuisquamosa Joicey & Talbot, 1922, Bull. Hill Mus. 1 : 329. 



HYALOTHYRUS Mabille, 1878, Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. 21 : 23. Type-species by selection by 

 Kirby ([1880], in Zool. Rec. 14 (year 1878) (Ins.) : 188.) : Papilio nitocris Stoll, [1782,] in 

 Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (33) : 215, pi. 393, figs F, G. 



HYALYRIS Boisduval, 1870, Consul. Lipid. Guatemala : 33. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Ithomia coeno Doubleday, [August 1847], Gen. diurn. Lep. (1) : pi. 18 (Heliconidae), fig. 2. 



HYANTIS Hewitson, [1862], ///. exot. Butts 3 : [68]. Type-species by monotypy : Hyantis 

 hodeva Hewitson, [1862], ibid. 3 : [68], pi. [34], figs 5, 6. 



HYAROTIS Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (4) : 174. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio adrastus Stoll, [1780], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (27) : 62, pi. 319, figs F, G. 



HYDA Mabille, 1889, Bull. Soc. ent. Fr. 1889 : clxxxiii. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Hyda micacea Mabille, 1889, ibid. 1889 : clxxxiv. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Hyda micacea Mabille is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Pterygospidea grisea Hewitson, 1878 (Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (5) 1 : 



344)- 



The name Hyda Mabille is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Hyda Walker, 1854 (List. 

 Spec. lep. Lns. Brit. Mus., Lep. Het. (1) : 181). 



HYDRAENOMIA Butler, 1870, Ent. nion. Mag. 7 : 99. Type-species through Section (i) 

 (replacement names) of Article 67 : Eudamus orcinus Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1867], Reise 

 Fregatte " Novara ", Lep. Rhop. (3) : 510, pi. 7, figs 4, 5. 



Butler introduced this name as a replacement of the name Udranomia introduced by him- 

 self earlier in the same year (he. cit. 7 : 58) but which he now rejected on etymological grounds. 

 This action was incorrect and the replacement name Hydraenomia is accordingly invalid. 



HYLEPHILA Billberg, 1820, Enum. Ins. Mus. Billb. : 81. Type-species selected by Scudder 

 (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 193) : Papilio phyleus Drury, [1773], III. 

 nat. Hist. 1 : index et 25, pi. 13, figs 4, 5 q\ 



HYMENITIS [Illiger], 1807, Allgem. Lit. Ztg, Halle [Jena] 1807, No. 2 : 1180. Type-species by 

 selection by Hemming (1934, Cen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 28) : Papilio polymnia Linnaeus, 1768 , 

 Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 466. 



This name and Mechanitis Fabricius, 1807, are objective synonyms of one another, and from 

 the information obtainable from the Allgem. Lit. Ztg it is clear that these unwelcome Illigerian 

 names possess by a narrow margin priority over the names (including Mechanitis) published by 

 Fabricius in the Mag. f. Insektenk. of Illiger also published in 1807. On the discovery of this 

 priority it was decided to put the whole matter before the Commission with a request that it
