GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 309 



in the genus what he called " Neomaenas servilia n.sp.", for which he gave no particulars of 

 any kind. In i860 (loc. cit.) he again used this generic name, placing in this genus only 

 Neomaenas servilia for which he then for the first time gave a description. That species is 

 therefore the type-species of this genus by subsequent monotypy under Article 69(a) (ii) (2). 



NEOMANIOLA Hayward, 1949, Acta zool. lilloana 8 : 156. Type-species through Section (i) 

 (replacement names) of Article 67 : Pseudomaniola euripides Weymer, 1890, in Weymer & 

 Maassen, in Reiss & Stiibel, Reisen Sud.-Amer., Lep. : 108, pi. 3, fig. 10. 



The name Neomaniola was introduced as a replacement for Pseudomaniola Weymer, 1890, 

 in the belief that it was invalid, as a junior homonym of Pseudomaniola Rober, which he 

 erroneously believed was published in 1889. Actually, that name was not published by Rober 

 until 1892. Thus, it is Pseudomaniola Rober and not Pseudomaniola Weymer which is the 

 junior of these two homonyms. Thus, the replacement name Neomaniola Hayward is 

 invalid as a junior objective synonym of Pseudomaniola Weymer, 1890. 



NEOMINOIS Scudder, 1875, Bull. Buffalo Soc. nat. Sci. 2 : 235, 241. Type-species by 

 original designation : Satyrus ridingsii Edwards, 1865, Proc. ent. Soc. Philad. 4 : 201. 



NEOMYR1NA Distant, 1884, Rhop. malayana : 234, 248. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Myrina hiemalis Godman & Salvin, 1878, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1878 : 640, pi. 40, 

 figs 5, 6. 



NEONOMA Watson, 1893, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1893 : 42, 44. Type-species through Section 

 (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Conognathus platon Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1862, 

 IVien. ent. Monals. 6 : 181. 



The name Neonoma Watson was introduced as a replacement for the name Conognathus 

 Felder (C.) & Felder (R.) in the erroneous belief that that name was invalid under the Law of 

 Homonymy. In the circumstances the unwanted replacement name Neonoma is invalid as a 

 junior objective synonym of Conognathus Felder (C.) & Felder (R.). 



NEONYMPHA Hiibner, 1818, Zulr. z. Samml. 0x0 1. Schmett. 1 : 8. Type-species by selection 

 by Hemming (1937, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 6 : 150) : Papilio areolatus Smith, 1797, in 

 Abbot, Ins. Georgia 1 : 25, pi. 13. 



Prior to the establishment in 1937 °f the relative dates of publication of Hubner's works, 

 the general practice was to treat the Verz. bekannt. Schmett. as having been published in 1816 

 and therefore as having priority over the Zutrdge. It was on this basis that in 1868 [Cat. 

 diurn. Lep. Satyridae Brit. Mus. : 35) Butler selected Oreas helicta Hiibner, [1808] (Samml. 

 exot. Schmett. 1 : pi. [95]) to be the type-species of the genus Neonympha. When the dates of 

 Hubner's work were ascertained, it was found that, whereas (as has always been known) the 

 text of volume 1 of the Zutrdge was published in 1818, the portion (signature 5 : 65) of the 

 Verz. containing the name Neonympha was not published until 1819. It was seen therefore 

 that it was in the Zutrdge that the name Neonympha was first published. As noted by myself 

 in 1937 [l° c - c it- '■ I 5°) Oreas helicta Hiibner was not included in this genus Neonympha in the 

 Zutrdge. Its selection as type-species by Butler in 1868 was therefore invalid. Luckily in 

 the Zutrdge Hiibner included in Neonympha the closely allied Papilio areolatus Smith, 1797, 

 which I thereupon selected as type-species, thus avoiding any material change in the taxo- 

 nomic interpretation of this genus. 



NEOPE Moore, [1866], Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1865 (3) : 770. Type-species through Section (i) 

 (replacement names) of Article 67 : Lasiommata (?) bhadra Moore, 1857, in Horsfield & 

 Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East India Coy (1) : 227. 



The name Neope Moore, [1866], was introduced as a replacement for Enope Moore, 1857, 

 under the Law of Homonymy. Moore did not designate a type-species for his Enope in 1857, 

 nor did he do so when in 1866 he introduced the replacement name Neope here in question. 

 The above species was selected as the type-species of Enope Moore, 1857, and therefore 

 automatically also for its replacement Neope Moore, [1866] by Butler in 1868 (Ent. mon. 

 Mag. 4 : 195). The circumstances in which this type-selection was made by Butler were
