LOSARIA Moore, [1902], Lep. ind. 5 (57) : 184. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio coon Fabricius, 1793, Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 10. 



The name Losaria Moore was published on the same date and in the same work as the 

 name Balignina Moore, and in consequence the relative precedence to be accorded to these 

 names depends on the choice made by the First Reviser. That choice was made by myself 

 in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 85) when I accorded precedence to the name Losaria Moore over the 

 name Balignina Moore. 



LOTOAGUS Sharp, [1887], in Zool. Rec. 23 (year 1886) (Ins.) : 246 (an Incorrect Subsequent 

 Spelling of Lotongus Distant, 1886). 



LOTONGUS Distant, 1886, Rhop. malay. : 369, 371. Type-species by original designation : 

 Eudamus calathus Hewitson, 1876, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 17 : 353. 



LOWEIA Tutt, [1906], Nat. Hist. Brit. Butts 1 : 314. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio dorilis Hiifnagel, 1766, Berlin. Mag. 2 : 68. 



This name was formerly considered (for example, by myself in 1929, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. 

 (10) 3 : 233) as invalid as being a junior homonym of the name Lowia Lichtenstein, 1886 

 (Mon. Pence. Penplier : 37), there being at that time no rules in the Code for determining 

 what constituted generic homonymy. This matter was finally cleared up by the decision of 

 Copenhagen Congress of 1953 — a decision now incorporated in the Code as Article 57(d) — 

 that, if any two generic names differed from one another in spelling by even a single letter, 

 they were not to be treated as being homonyms of one another. Under this provision the 

 name Loweia Tutt is not invalid under the Law of Homonymy and is on the contrary an 

 available name. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio dorilis Hiifnagel is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being either a subspecies of, or the same as, the taxon 

 represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio tityrus Poda, 1761 (Ins. Mus. 

 graec. : 77). 



LOXEREBIA Watkins, 1925, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (9) 16 : 237. Type species by original 

 designation : Callerebia pratorum Oberthur, 1886, Elud. ent. 11 : 25, pi. 4, fig. 26. 



LOXOLEXIS Karsch, 1895, Ent. Nachr. 21 : 320. Type-species by monotypy : Loxolexis 



percnoptera Karsch, 1895, ibid. 21 : 322. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Loxolexis percnoptera Karsch is currently 



treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the 



older-established nominal species Astictopterus johnstowi Butler, [1888], Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 



1887 (4) : 573- 

 LOXURA Horsfield, [1829], Descr. Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East India Coy (2) : 119. Type-species 



by original designation (: 120) : Papilio atymnus Stoll, [1780], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 



4 (28) : 82, pi. 331, figs D, E. 



LUCERONIA Sharp, [1896], in Zool. Rec. 32 (year 1895) (Ins.) : 269 (an Incorrect Subsequent 

 Spelling of Lenceronia Aurivillius, 1895). 



LUCIA Swainson, 1833, Zool. Illustr. (2) 3 (29) : pi. 135. Type-species by monotypy : Lucia 

 limbaria Swainson, [1833], ibid. (2) 3 (29) : 135 et explic. 



LUCID A Evans, 1955, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 5 : 86, 116. Type-species by original 

 designation : Carystus lucia Capronnier, 1874, Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. 17 : 35, pi. 1, fig. 9. 



LUCILLA Hewitson, 1870, Equatorial Lep. Buckley (4) : 55. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Lucilla camissa Hewitson, 1870, ibid. (4) : 55. 



The name Lucilla Hewitson is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, being a junior 

 homonym : (a) of Lucilla Gimmerthal, 1842 (Bull. Soc. imp. Nat. Moscou 15 (3) : 677), 

 (b) of Lucilla Lowe, 1854 (Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1854 : 177), and (c) of Lucilla Stal, 1867 

 (Ofvers. VetenskAkad. Fork. Stockh. 1867 : 555). It has been replaced by the name Lucillella 

 Strand, 1932.
