PANOSMIA Wood-Mason & de Niceville, 1886, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 55 (4) : 374. 

 Type-species by selection by Hemming (1935, Stylops 4:2): Papilio dasarada Moore, 

 1857, in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East India Coy (1) : 96 (as denned by the 

 specimen figured as fig. 5 on plate 40 in Westwood's Cabinet orient. Ent. as " Papilio philoxenus 

 var." selected by Hemming (1964, Annot. lep. (3) : 106) to represent the lectotype. 



The nominal species Papilio dasarada was based by Moore solely upon bibliographical 

 references to previously published papers. The first of these references was to the figure 

 cited above in Westwood's work " A Cabinet of Oriental Entomology ", which has been 

 selected by myself to represent the lectotype of the present species. 



PANOSMIOPSIS Wood-Mason & de Niceville, 1886, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 55 (4) : 374. 

 Type-species by monotypy : Papilio rhetenor Westwood, 1841, Arcana ent. (4) : 59, pi. 16, 

 figs 1, ia, c?- 



The name of the type-species, Papilio rhetenor Westwood is invalid, as it is a junior homo- 

 nym of Papilio rhetenor Cramer, [1775] (Uit. Kapellen 1 (2) : 22, pi. 15, figs A, B). There is 

 a name Papilio icarius Westwood, 1847 (Cabinet orient. Ent. : 5, pi. 2) which is currently 

 treated on taxonomic grounds as being a junior subjective synonym of Papilio rhetenor 

 Westwood, but this name is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Papilio icarius Esper, 

 [1793] (Die Schmett., Suppl. Band, 1 Abschn. Tagschmett. : 35, pi. 99, fig. 4 $). The oldest 

 objectively available name subjectively applicable to the type-species of this genus on 

 taxonomic grounds is Papilio alcmenor Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1864] (Reise Fregatte 

 " Novara " , Lep. Rhop. (1) : 129, pi. 20, fig. d). Subjectively, therefore the correct specific 

 name for this species is alcmenor Felder (C.) & Felder (R.). 



PANSYDIA Scudder, 1872, 4/A Ann. Rep. Peabody Acad. Sci. 1871 : 81. Type-species by 

 original designation : Hesperia mesogramma Latreille, [1824] (Ency. mith. 9 (Ins.) (2) : 

 7°5- 



PANTHIADES Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (5) : 79. Type-species by selection 

 by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 237) : Papilio pelion Cramer, 

 [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (1) : 10, pi. 6, figs E, F. 



Hiibner placed in this genus two nominal species, of which Papilio pelion Cramer was the 

 second. Scudder took the view that these nominal species represented no more than the 

 female and male respectively of the same taxon and accordingly considered that this genus 

 was monotypical, in which view however he was in error. Scudder went on to say that the 

 type-species was Papilio pelion. Although Scudder thought that he was merely noting an 

 existing fact, his action constitutes (under Article 69(a) (hi)) a valid selection of the above species 

 to be the type-species. 



PANTOPORIA Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (3) : 44. Type-species by selection 

 by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 238) : Papilio hordonia Stoll, 

 [1790], Aanhangs. Werk Uitl. Kapellen Pieter Cramer : 149, pi. 33, figs 4, 4D. 



For some inexplicable reasons some authors formerly rejected or overlooked Scudder's 

 selection of Papilio hordonia Stoll as the type-species of this genus and treated it as though 

 its type-species was Papilio sulpitia Cramer, [1799]. The result was very unfortunate, the 

 true Pantoporia (with Papilio hordonia as type-species) is aNeptid, while the false Pantoporia 

 (with its pseudotype Papilio sulpitia) is a Limenitid. The oldest available generic name for 

 the false Pantoporia is, as pointed out by myself in 1934 (Gen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 87), 

 Parathyma Moore, [1898]. 



PAPHIA Fabricius, 1807, Mag. f. Insektenk. (Illiger) 6 : 282. Type-species by selection by 

 Crotch (1872, Cistula ent. 1 : 66) : Papilio jasius Linnaeus, 1767, Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 

 Errata. 



Linnaeus introduced the name Papilio jasius in the unnumbered " Errata " sheet as a 

 nom. nov. for Papilio jason Linnaeus, 1767 (loc. cit. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 749), which is invalid as a 

 junior homonym of Papilio jason Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 485). The replace-
