apply to this genus but that on ascertaining that such a usage of the name Marshallia would 

 be invalid as a junior homonym of Marshallia Zittel, 1878 Abh. bayer. Akad. Wiss., math.- 

 phys. 13 (Abt. 1) : 59, he decided to introduce the name Indoxylides in its place. He went on 

 to say that he had communicated this decision to de Niceville in correspondence but that this 

 notification had arrived too late for that author to introduce the name Indoxylides in the paper 

 which (as Doherty had known) was then in preparation. In that paper de Niceville intro- 

 duced a new name — Eooxylides — of his own. It was this name which Doherty adopted and in 

 the synonymy of which he placed his own discarded manuscript name Marshallia. (It should 

 be noted here that Doherty must have relied for his knowledge of the name Eooxylides on a 

 letter or proof sent to him by Niceville ; for in fact de Niceville's paper containing this name was 

 not published until February 1890, whereas the paper containing this name was published on 

 30th December 1889. Thus, in the end it was Doherty and not de Niceville who published a 

 name for this genus, though this was due to delay in the printing of de Niceville's paper and 

 the name which he so published (Eooxylides) was a manuscript name of de Niceville's. 



The name Marshallia Doherty is invalid under Article 11(d) as being published in a syno- 

 nymy. Even if it were not invalid on this account, the name Marshallia Doherty would still 

 have been invalid, as a junior homonym (as noted above) of the older name Marshallia Zittel, 

 1878.

The name Mashuna van Son was published in July 1955 and accordingly has some five 

 months' priority over its objective synonym YpthinwrpJia Overlaet which (as shown in the note 

 given under that name) was not published until December of that year.

The name Masoura was introduced as a replacement for the name Gallienia Oberthur, 1916, 

 which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. 



MASSAGA Doherty, 30th December, 1889, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 58 (4) : 417, nota. Type- 

 species by original designation : Poritia pediada Hewitson, 1877, Ent. mon. Mag. 13 : 223. 



As noted above, Doherty established the nominal genus Massaga in a footnote on page 417 

 of his paper cited above with Poritia pediada Hewitson as designated type-species. Later, he 

 appears to have overlooked the action which he had already taken in this matter, for in a 

 paper published in 1891 (loc. cit., Pt II, 60 (1) : 35 (he introduced Massaga as a new genus, 

 describing it with several included species — one being Poritia pediada Hewitson — but with no 

 designated type-species. The name Massaga Doherty is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of 

 Massaga Walker, 1854 (List Spec. lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. 2 : 358), a name given to a genus of 

 moths.
