Finally, it must be noted that, after it had been established that Calephelis Grote & 

 Robinson was a genus established on a misidentified type-species and therefore that under 

 the Code Erycina virginiensis was not its type-species, the name Nymphidia Boisduval & 

 Leconte, [1833], was treated as being available for this genus with, as its type-species by 

 monotypy, the nominal species Nymphidia pumila Boisduval & Leconte, [1833]. This 

 arrangement was based upon the subjective view of taxonomists that that nominal species 

 represented the same taxon as that represented by Erycina virginiensis. This view, which 

 was advanced by myself in 1934 (Gen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 99), was based on the assumption 

 that Nymphidia, as published by Boisduval & Leconte, was an available name, notwithstand- 

 ing the likelihood that it was looked upon by those authors as an emendation of the name 

 Nymphidium Fabricius, 1807. The clarification of the rules relating to emendations and 

 erroneous subsequent spellings embodied in Article 33 of the revised Code showed that the 

 foregoing view was incorrect and that Nymphidia, as published by the foregoing authors, has 

 no separate existence in nomenclature, being no more than an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling 

 of Nymphidium Fabricius.

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

 Ent. : 526. 



The name Lepidochrysops was introduced as a replacement of Neochrysops Bethune-Baker, 

 [1923], which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy.

LEPTALINA Mabille, 1904, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 17(B) : 92, no. Type-species by 

 selection by Lindsey (1925, Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 18 : 90) : Steropes unicolor Bremer &

LEPTALIS Dalman, 1823, Analecta ent. : 40. Type-species by selection by Scudder (1875, 

 Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 204) : Papilio (Leptalis) astynome Dalman, 1823, 

 ibid. : 39. 



Scudder erroneously believed that Dalman himself had designated the above species to be 

 the type-species of Leptalis. Although Scudder 's premises were faulty, his own unqualified 

 acceptance of the above species as type-species ranks (Article 69(a) (iii)) as a selection by him 

 of the above species as type-species.

LEPTIDIA Scudder, 1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 204 (an Incorrect Sub- 

 sequent Spelling of Leplidea Billberg, 1820). 



Owing to the rarity of Billberg's book, combined with the great prestige of Scudder, the mis- 

 spelling Leptidia was formerly in wide use.

The name Leptocircus is invalid as it is a junior objective synonym of the name Lamproptera
