This was a manuscript name which I had intended to introduce for the above species at a 

 time when it was believed — wrongly, as it later turned out — that it was without a generic 

 name, consequent upon the realization that the true type-species of Lampides Hiibner, [1819], 

 in which it had hitherto been placed was a quite different species. While the paper in which 

 I had intended, inter alia, to introduce this generic name was passing through the press, I 

 discovered the overlooked name Cosmolvce Toxopeus, 1927, of which Papilio boeticus Linnaeus 

 is also the type-species, a discovery which rendered unnecessary the introduction, as pre- 

 viously proposed, of the new name Lampidella. The corrections which I thereupon made in 

 the proof of my paper were unfortunately not as complete as they should have been with the 

 result that, although in the form in which the paper was published attention was drawn to the 

 name Cosmolyce, there remained by accident a sentence introducing the name Lampidella 

 with the above species as type-species. The paper in question was published in October 1933, 

 and immediately upon its appearance I realized what had happened and wrote a short cor- 

 rection which was published two months later (Hemming, Dec. 1933, loc. cit. 66 : 277). 



Four years after the publication of the foregoing papers a lucky chance brought to light a 

 hitherto unnoticed selection of Papilio boeticus as the type-species of Lampides made prior to 

 any previously known type-selection for that genus. In consequence, the name Lampidella, 

 which was already invalid as a junior objective synonym of Cosmolyce Toxopeus, is now seen, 

 jointly with that name, to be a junior objective synonym of Lampides Hiibner.

As has been explained in the note on the name Lampidella, it was long believed that the above 

 species was the type-species of the genus Lampides by selection by Kirby (in Allen's Nat. 

 Libr., Lepid. 2 : 82). In 1933 however I drew attention (Entomologist 66 : 224) to the fact 

 that Kirby's type-selection was invalid, it having been anticipated by the selection by Scudder 

 in 1875 (Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 201) of Lampides zethus Hiibner, [1819] 

 (Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (5) : 70), a nominal species established as a replacement for Papilio 

 alexis Stoll, [1790] (Aanhangs. Werk Uitl. Kapellen Pieter Cramer : 167, pi. 38, fig. 3). This 

 discovery was highly disconcerting, because it deprived Papilio boeticus Linnaeus of the name 

 Lampides Hiibner and at the same time recognized as the type-species of that genus a species 

 commonly treated as belonging to the genus J amides ; as regards the first of these matters I
