GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 329 



OXYTOX1A Mabille, 1904, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 17 (B) : 90, 93. Type-species by selection 

 by Lindsey (1925, Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 25 : 9) : Telesto doubledayi Felder (C), 1862, 

 Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien. 12 : 491. 



Felder cited three nominal species as belonging to this genus ; of these, the above species 

 only was mentioned by Sharp when recording this generic name in the Zoological Record for 

 the year 1904 (41 (Ins.) : 252). Lindsey (1925) misread Sharp's entry regarding this name, 

 treating it as having constituted a selection of the above species as the type-species of this 

 genus. Actually, it was Lindsey himself in the above paper who first definitely selected a 

 type-species for this genus. 



PACHAMA Moore, 1880, Trans, ent. Soc. Loud. 1880 (4) : 165. Type-species by monotypv : 

 Mycalesis mestra Hewitson, [1862], III. exot. Butts 3 : [79], pi. [40], figs 2, 3. 



PACHES Godman & Salvin, [1895], Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 398. Type-species by 

 original designation : Pythonides loxus Westwood, [April 1852], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. 

 Lep. (2) : pi. 80, fig. 4 [as Phareas loxus in the text (: 516) published in August 1852]. 



PACHLIOPTA Reakirt, [1865], Proc. ent. Soc. Philad. 3 : 503. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1873, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 235) : Papilio diphilus Esper, 

 [1793], Ausl. Schmett. (10) : 156, pi. 40, fig. 2. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio diphilus Kspcr is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a form of the taxon represented by the older-established 

 nominal species Papilio aristolochiae Fabricius, 1775 {Syst. lint. : 443). 



The name Pachliopta was published on the same date and 111 the same paper as the name 

 Atrophaneura, and in consequence the relative precedence to be accorded to these names 

 depends on the choice made by the First Reviser. The name Atrophaneura Reakirt was brought 

 into use in 1943 (Entomologist 76 : 206) by Corbet when it was realized that the name Polydoi U • 

 Swainson, [1833], was invalid under the Law of I lomonymy and therefore not available for 

 this genus. Corbet did not however make a definite First Reviser choice in favour of 

 Atrophaneura as against the name Pachliopta and the position of these names remained un- 

 settled until in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 84) I gave precedence, as First Reviser, to Atrophaneura 

 Reakirt over the name Pachliopta Reakirt. 



PACHLIOPTERA Scudder, 1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 235 (an Incorrect 

 Subsequent Spelling of Pachliopta Reakirt, [1865]). 



PACHYNEURIA Mabille, 1888, Le Naturaliste (2) 2 : 275. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Pachyneuria obscura Mabille, 1888, ibid. (2) 2 : 275, fig. 1. 



PACHYRHOPALA YVallengren, 1858, Ofvers. VetenskAkad. Fork., Stochh. 15 : 81. Type- 

 species by original designation : Papilio phidias Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 485. 



PACHYTHONE Bates, [1868], /. linn. Soc. Lond., Zool. 9 : 389. Type-species by selection 

 by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 235) : Pachythone erebia Bates, 

 [1868], ibid. 9 : 390. 



PADEMMA Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1883 : 305. Type-species by original desig- 

 nation : Euploea klugii Moore, 1857, in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East India 

 Coy (1) : 130. 



PADRAONA Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (4) : 170. Type-species by original designation : 

 Pamphila maesa Moore, 1865, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1865 (2) : 509, pi. 30, fig. 9. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Pamphila maesa Moore is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Hesperia dara Kollar, [1844] (in Hiigel's Kashmir 4 (2) : 455). 



The name Padraona was formerly very well-known as the name for over twenty species 

 occurring in the Indo-Oriental Region, some of which are very common and widely distributed.
