274 FRANCIS HEMMING 



Limacodid name Mambara which has the narrow margin of eight days' priority. It has been 

 replaced by the name Pistoria Hemming 1964.

 Spelling of Mcclungia Fox, 1940).

MANARINA Mabille, 1904, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 17 (B) : 95-96. Type-species by selection 

 by Lindsey (1925, Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 18 : 96) : Trapezites fastuosus Mabille, 1884, Ann. 

 Soc. ent. Belg. 28 Bull. C.R. : clxxxvi. 



The name Manavina Mabille was published in the same work and on the same date as the 

 name Malaza Mabille. These names are currently treated on taxonomic grounds as subjective 

 synonyms of one another. The relative precedence to be accorded to them depends therefore, 

 on the choice of the First Reviser. This was Evans who in 1937 {Cat. Afric. Hesp. Brit. Miis. : 

 132) chose the name Malaza Mabille to take precedence over the name Manarina Mabille. 



MAN AT ARIA Kirby, [1904], in Wytsman's facsimile ed. of Hiibner, Samml. exot. Schmett. 3 

 (Additional notes) : 57. Type-species by monotypy : Tisiphone hercyna Hiibner, [1821], 

 Samml. exot. Schmettl 2 : pi. [86]. 



The volume of the Wytsman edition containing Kirby 's " Additional Notes " bears the 

 inadequate date " 1904-1908 ", but the portion (: 67) containing the name Manataria, must 

 have been published at latest in 1902, for there is a note of this name in the volume of the 

 Zoological Record published in that year. 



MANCIPIUM Hiibner [1806], Tentamen : [1]. Type-species by monotypy : Papilio brassicae 

 Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 467. 



This name is invalid by reason of the rejection for nomenclatorial purposes of the Tentamen 

 in which it appeared by the Ruling given by the Commission in its Opinion 97 (1926), Smithson. 

 miscell. Coll. 73 (No. 4) : 19-30; republished in facsimile in 1958 {Opin. int. Comm. zool. 

 Nom. 1 (B) : 355-366). By a Ruling given by the Commission in its Opinion 278 (1954), 

 loc. cit. 6 : 135-178 the name Mancipium Hiibner, as published in the Tentamen, was placed 

 on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 84. 



If the name Mancipium Hiibner of the Tentamen had been a nomenclatorially available 

 name, it would nevertheless have been invalid as a junior objective synonvm oiPieris Schrank, 

 1801. 



M A NCIPIUM Hiibner, [1807], Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : pi. [141]. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio hellica Linnaeus, 1767, Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 760. 



The name Papilio hellica as applied to the type-species of this genus by Linnaeus in 1767 is 

 an Unjustified Emendation of the name Papilio helice which he had given to this species in 

 1764, Mus. Lud. Ulr. : 243. 



When it was realized that the name Mancipium Fliibner ranked for priority from 1807 with 

 the above species as type-species, it was also realized that it came into collision with the name 

 Pontia Fabricius, also published in 1807, the genus so named having as its type-species Papilio 

 daplidice Linnaeus, 1758, which it is agreed by all specialists is congeneric with Papilio helice 

 Linnaeus. Thus, the names Mancipium Hiibner and Pontia, both published in 1807, were 

 found to be subjective synonyms of one another. This created a most unsatisfactory situation 

 since, as the exact dates in 1807 on which these names were published were not known it was 

 not possible to determine which of them should be treated as having priority over the other. 

 From the standpoint of conserving nomenclatorial usage, however, there was every reason why 

 the well-known and widely accepted name Pontia Fabricius should be given an assured position 

 as against the name Mancipium Hiibner, which since the time of Hiibner had never been used 

 as the equivalent of Pontia, those authors who had employed it having done so in the Tentamen 

 sense, that is, for the genus properly known by the older name Pieris Schrank, 1801. Accord- 

 ingly, in order to forestall any attempt to substitute the name Mancipium Hiibner for the
