GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 331 



as then published, it was invalid for, although Verity designated a type-species for the genus 

 he did not provide it with a generic diagnosis. For this reason, under the Budapest decision 

 of 1927, now embodied in Article 13(a) of the revised Code, the name Palaeochrysophanos 

 Verity as of 1934, having been published after 1930, is invalid, and possesses no status in 

 zoological nomenclature. As shown above, this name was first validly published in 1943. 



PALAEOLOWEIA Verity, 1934, lint. Rec. 46 (5), Suppl. : (13) nota. Type-species through 

 Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Papilio dorilis Hufnagel, 1766, Berlin. Ma». 

 2 : 68. 



The name Palaeoloweia was proposed by Verity as a replacement for the name Loweia Tutt, 

 [1906], then considered to be a junior homonym of Lowia (a name which should under the 

 Code be written as Loewia) Lichtenstein, 1886. However, under the provisions embodied in 

 the revised text of the Code (Article 57(d)) a difference in spelling of a single letter is sufficient 

 to prevent a situation of homonymy from arising as between any two generic names, with the 

 result that the names Loweia and Loewia are not homonyms of one another. The name 

 Loweia Tutt is an available name. The replacement name Palaeoloweia Verity is accordingly 

 invalid as a junior objective synonym of Loweia Tutt. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio dorilis Hufnagel is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Papilio tityrus Poda, 1701 (Ins. Mus. graec. : 77). Verity 

 accepted this synonymy and when establishing his replacement genus Palaeoloweia, cited 

 the names of both these nominal species under the heading " genotype ". Not realizing 

 that a replacement genus has automatically as its type-species the same nominal species as 

 that of the nominal genus then replaced, he incorrectly cited the older of these nominal 

 species (Papilio tityrus I'oda) first, adding the name of the later nominal species (Papilio 

 dorilis Hufnagel) in brackets. This slip on Verity's part does not alter the tact that (as 

 already explained) Papilio dorilis is automatically the type-species of this replacement genus

 Palaeontina oolitica Butler, 1873, ibid. (15) : 126. 



Butler introduced this name for a fossil species which he believed belonged to the family 

 Nymphalidae. Later, Scudder (1875, Proc. anier. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 235 ; 1875, 

 Mem. Arrter. Ass. Adv. Sci., Salem, Mass. Ft 1 (fossil butts) : 6, 80 95) expressed the view 

 that the specimen upon which the type-species (and therefore the genus) was founded was not 

 a butterfly at all.

Moore established this genus in a summary table, in which he designated a type-species 



but did not provide a generic diagnosis. He made good this deficiency in [1899] (loc. cit.
