peculiar, for he did so in a paper in which he was dealing with the name Neope Butler, 1867, 

 established by himself in 1867 as a replacement for the name Enope Moore, 1857, at a time 

 when he was unaware that in the previous year (1866) the same name had been published in 

 the same sense by Moore. 



NEOPE Butler, 1867, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (3) 19 : 166. Type-species through Section (i) 

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

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



The name Neope Butler was introduced as a new name to serve as a replacement for the 

 invalid name Enope Moore, 1857, Butler being clearly unaware that the same name had been 

 introduced by Moore in the previous year (1866). Butler did not designate a type-species for 

 Neope Butler, and Enope Moore, 1857, was at that time also still without a type-species. 

 This deficiency was made good by Butler himself in 1868 (Ent. mon. Mag. 4 : 195) when he 

 selected Lasiommata (?) bhadra Moore, 1857, to be the type-species. 



The name Neope Butler, 1867, is invalid, as being both a junior homonym of, and a junior 

 objective synonym of, Neope Moore, [1866]. 



NEOPHASIA Behr, 1869, Trans, amer. ent. Soc. 2 : 303. Type-species by selection by Kirby 

 ([1870], in Zool. Rec. 6 (year 1869) : 357) : Pieris menapia Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1869, 

 Wien. ent. Monats. 3 : 271. 



NEO PITH ECO PS Distant, 1884, Rhop. malayana : 197, 209. Type-species by original 

 designation : Pithecops dharma Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (2) : 72, pi. 34, fig. 4. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Pithecops dharma Moore is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Pithecops zalmora Butler, 1869 (Cat. diarn. Lep. Fabricius : 161) 



NEOPYRAMEIS Scudder, 1889, Butts eastern U.S. Canada (1) (3) : 434. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Papilio cardui Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 475. 



The name Neopyrameis Scudder is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Cynthia 

 Fabricius, 1807 (Mag. f. Insektenk. (Illiger) 6 : 281). 



NEORINA Westwood, [Dec. 1850], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 65, fig. 2. Type- 

 species by monotypy : Neorina hilda Westwood, [Dec. 1850], in Doubleday, ibid. (2) : 

 pi. 65, fig. 2 [text (: 370) published in April 1851]. 



NEORINOPSIS Butler, 1873, Lep. exot. (15) : 127. Type-species by monotypy : Cyllo 

 sepulta Boisduval, 1841, Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. 9 (3) : 373 [err. pro 273]. 



Butler established the nominal genus Neorinopsis for the foregoing fossil species which he 

 placed in the Satyridae (a taxon which he treated as a subfamily of the Nymphalidae.) 



NEOSATYRUS Wallengren, 1858, Ofvers. VetenskAkad. Fork., Stockh. 15 : 79. Type-species 

 by subsequent monotypy : Neosatyrus ambiorix Wallengren, i860, Wien. ent. Monats. 

 4 : 3 6. 



When Wallengren established this genus in 1858, he gave a generic diagnosis and included 

 in the genus only what he called " Neosatyrus ambiorix n.sp.", for which he gave no particu- 

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

 Neosatyrus ambiorix, for which for the first time he then gave a description. This species is 

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