GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 303 



Linnaeus, 1758 (Sysl. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 487). The oldest available name for the present 

 taxon is currently considered subjectively to be Papilio barcastus Sepp, 1855 [Natural Hist, 

 surinaam. V Under s 3 : pi. 138). 



NABOKOVJA Hemming, i960, Annot. lep. (2) : 41. Type-species through Section (i) (re- 

 placement names) of Article 67 : Thecla faga Dognin, 1895, Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. 1895 : 105. 

 The name Nabokovia was introduced as a replacement for the name Pseudotliecla Nabokov, 

 1945, which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. 



NACADUBA Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (3 : 88). Type-species by original designation : 

 Lampides prominens Moore, 1877, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 20 : 341. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Lampides prominens Moore is currently 

 treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a subspei ies of the taxon represented by the 

 older-established nominal species Lycaena Intrava Moore, 1857 [in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lep. 

 Ins. Mus. East India Coy (1) : 22). 



NACAMSA Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1883 : 310. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Nacamsa simillima Moore, 1883, ibid. 1883 : 310. 



NADIRIA Moore, [1893], Lep. ind. 2 (14) : 57. Type-species by original designation : Ypthi- 



ma bolanica Marshall, [1883], Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1882 (4) : 759. 



Moore established this nominal genus for this and allied species and designated its type- 

 species. In the following Part (Part 15 : 85) he gave an extended generic diagnosis. 



NADISEPA Moore, 1882, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1882 : 249. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Papilio iarbas Fabricius, 1787, Mantissa Ins. 2 : 68. 



NAEVOLUS Hemming, 1939, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 8 : 39. Type-species through 

 Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Cydrus naevolus Godman, [1900], in Godman 

 & Salvin, Biol, centr .-amer . , Lep. Rhop. 2 : 513, pi. 96, figs 19, 20, 20a, 21 0*. 



The name Naevolus was introduced as a replacement for Cydrus Godman, which is invalid 

 under the Law of Homonymy. 



As has been explained in the note on Cydrus Godman, the type-species of this genus is 

 currently identified subjectively with the older-established nominal species Proteides orius 

 Mabille, 1883 {Bull. C. Li. Soc. ent. Belg. 27 : lix). 



NAHIDA Kirby, 1871, Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep. : 651. Type-species through Section (i) (replace- 

 ment names) of Article 67 : Threnodes coenoides Hewitson, 1870, Equatorial Lep. Buckley : 

 58. 



The name Nahida was introduced by Kirby as a replacement for Threnodes Hewitson, 

 1870, which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. 



NAIS Swainson, [1833], Zool. Illustr. (2) 3 (29) : pi. 136. Type-species by monotypy : Nais 

 splendens Swainson, [1833], ibid. (2) 3 (29) : pi. 136 et explic. 



The name Nais Swainson (1833) is invalid, being a junior homonym of Nais Miiller, 1771 

 (Wiirm. : 6). 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Nais splendens Swainson is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-estab- 

 lished nominal species Papilio thy she Linnaeus, 1764 (Mus. Lud. Ulr. : 330). 



NAJAS Hiibner, [1806], Tentamen : [1]. Type-species by monotyoy : Papilio populi Linnaeus, 

 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 476. 



The name Najas, as of the Tentamen, is invalid, because of the rejection by the Commission 

 in its Opinion 97 of the above leaflet for nomenclatorial purposes. 



The type-species of Najas is also the type-species of the genus Limenitis Fabricius, 1807, in 

 the synonymy of which the name Najas of the Tentamen therefore now falls.
