lie regarded that name as not having been provided with an adequate diagnosis, a con- 

 sideration which is not permissible under the Code in the case of names published before 1931. 

 The name Leucidia Herrich-Schaeffer is of course invalid as being a junior homonym of 

 Lencidia Doubleday.

 designation : Papilio philemon Cramer, [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (2) : 35, pi. 22, figs G, H. 

 Stichel published this generic name as new twice in 1909 ; first (as shown above) in volume

 Akad. Handl., Stockholm (n.f.) 2 (Pt 1) (No. 4) : 52. 



Wallengren introduced the name Leucochitonea as new both in his paper of 1857 and in 

 that of 1858. In the first of these papers, he included in this genus Leucochitonea levubu 

 (then a new species) and one other species ; he did not designate a type-species ; in 1858 

 however he designated Leucochitonea levubu. Butler, overlooking this type-selection, him- 

 self selected this species to be type-species in 1870 [Ent. num. Mag. 7 : 94).

The name Leucochloe Rober is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Pontia Fabricius 

 1807. When first published, this generic name bore a diacritic mark over the final letter, ,^ 

 " Leucochloe " .

The name Leucolepis Karsch is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Leucolepis Reichenbach 

 1850 (Avium Syst. nat. : pi. 57).

The name Leuconea Donzel is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Aporia Hiibner, 

 [I9I9]-

LEUCOTRICHA Rothschild & Jordan, 1903, Novit. zocl. 10 : 538. Type-species through 

 Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Papilio meleagris Cramer, [1775], Uitl. 

 Kapellen 1 (6) : 102, pi. 66, figs A, B. 



The nominal genus Leucotricha was established in a confused and rather confusing manner; 

 the name was stated to be a replacement for the generic names Hamanumida Hiibner, [1819] 

 (a genus of which the type-species was stated to be Papilio veronica Cramer [recte Stoll]) and 

 Canopus Felder, 1861 (of which the type-species was given as Papilio daedahts Fabricius). 

 These two specific names are considered subjectively on taxonomic grounds to apply to the 

 same taxon ; accordingly, in the view of Rothschild & Jordan, the names Hamanumida
