subspecies of the taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio polycletus Linnaeus, now- 

 established as the valid type-species of the genus Hypochrysops. Thus, the correction of 

 Scudder's erroneous type-selection has not involved any change in the concept represented by 

 the genus Hypochrysops.

 Type-species by monotypy : Hypocysta euphemia Hewitson, [1851], in Doubleday, ibid. (2) 

 : pi. 67, fig. 3. 



The relevant portion of the text (: 396-398) was published in June 1851. This text has no 

 nomenclatorial significance, for (as noted above) the type-species of this genus had been 

 determined by monotypy as from the publication of plate 67 a few weeks earlier. It may be 

 noted however that in the text Westwood abandoned the use of the name Hypocysta, placing it 

 in the synonymy of Coenonympha Hiibner, [1819]; at the same time he explained (: 397) that 

 his original idea had been to place two species in the genus Hypocysta, namely Hypocysta 

 euphemia and Papilio irius Fabricius, 1775 (Syst. Ent. : 487). Later Butler (1868, Ent. mon. 

 Mag. 4 : 196) sought to select Papilio irius Fabricius as the type-species, but that selection was 

 of course, invalid, the type-species having been determined by monotypy as from the moment 

 at which this genus was established on plate 67. 



HYPOCYSTE Gaede, 1931, in Strand's Lep. Cat. 43 : 28 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of 

 Hypocysta Westwood, [1851]). 



HYPOJAMIDES Riley, 1929, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 76 (2) : 466. Type-species by original 

 designation : Lycaena (?) catochloris Boisduval, [1832], in d'Urville, Voy. " Astrolabe ", 

 Faun. ent. 1 (Lep.) : 78. 



In establishing this genus, Riley observed that the interpretation of Lycaena catochloris — 

 which had been based upon a unique specimen — had always been a matter of doubt until in 

 1925, Collenette had taken a further specimen at Tahiti ; he added that the examination of this 

 second specimen showed that Lycaena catochloris was a distinct species belonging to a hitherto 

 undescribed genus allied to Thysonotis Hiibner, [1819].

HYPOLERIA Godman & Salvin, [1879], Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 1 : 52. Type-species by 

 selection by Kirby ([1881], in Zool. Rec. 16 (year 1879) (Ins.) : 136) : Hypoleria libera 

 Godman & Salvin, [1879], ibid., Lep. Rhop. 1 : 53, pi. 4, figs 12 $, 13 ?. 



In establishing Hypoleria, Godman & Salvin divided the genus into two groups, for each of 

 which they designated what they called a " type ". This action had no bearing on the 

 question of the species to be accepted as the type-species of this genus, since these authors 

 designated two of these " types ", instead of one only, as would have been necessary for the 

 valid designation of a type-species. The species validly selected as the type-species by Kirby 

 two years later was the species which Godman & Salvin had designated as the " type " of the 

 first of the sections which they recognized.
