PAPUA Rober, [1892], in Staudinger & Schatz, Exot. Schmett. Bd 1, (Th. 2) (6) : 273. Type- 

 species by monotypy : Plebeius lucifer Rober, [1886], Corresp Bl. ent. Ver. Iris 1 (3) : 61, pi. 4, 



fig- 5- 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Plebeius lucifer Rober is currently treated as 

 a subspecies of the taxon represented by the nominal species Pithecops zalmora Butler, 1869 

 {Cat. diurn. Lep. Fabricius : 1). 



The name Papua Rober is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the name Papua Ragonot, 

 1889 (Bull. Soc. ent. Fr. 1889 : ccxxx).

PARADIADEMA Distant, [1880], Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1879 (4) : 704. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Paradiadema hora Distant, [1880], ibid. 1879 (4) : 704, pi. 54, fig. 1. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Paradiadema hora Distant has been identified 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds with that represented by the older-established nominal 

 species Harma hyarbita Hewitson, [1866] (///. exot. Butts 3 : [57], pi. [29], figs 5, 6). 



PARADOPAEA Godman, [1900], in Godman & Salvin, Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 3 : pi. 

 92, figs 23-29 (c? genit. of included species). Type-species by selection by Lindsey (1925, 

 Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 18 : 96) : Hesperia garita Reakirt, 1866, Proc. ent. Soc. Philad. 6: 150. 

 The name Paradopaea was dealt with quite differently in the text volume (vol. 2) and in 

 the plates volume (vol. 3). The treatment in the plates volume is the earlier of the two. 

 In this volume the name Paradopaea was applied (on pi. 92) to two nominal species, namely : 

 Paradopaea garita (Reakirt) [i.e. Hesperia garita Reakirt], figs 23, 24, 25 ; Paradopaea 

 calega Godman [then a new species], figs 26-29. In the text volume the name Paradopaea 

 was dropped altogether, the species which on plate 92 had been assigned to this genus being 

 there assigned to the genus Oarisma Scudder, 1872. At the same time each of the taxa 

 figured on that plate were treated as having been misidentified : the specimens figured as 

 Hesperia garita (figs 23-25) were treated ( : 469) as belonging to Hesperia powesheik Parker, 



1870, while those which had been figured under the new name Paradopaea calega (figs 26-29) 

 were treated (: 470) as belonging to Hesperia garita. [It may usefully be noted at this 

 point that the status of these nominal species was re-examined by Lindsey, Bell & Williams 

 in 1931 (/. Sci. Lab. Denison Univ. 26 : 72) who reached the following conclusions as to the 

 specimens figured by Godman on his plate 92 : (a) the specimens figured as figs 23 & 24 

 as belonging to Hesperia garita Reakirt were correctly so identified, their attribution in the 

 text to Hesperia powesheik Parker being erroneous ; (b) the male genitalia figured as fig. 25 

 and also attributed to Hesperia garita are, in fact, referable to Thymelicus edwardsii Barnes, 

 1897 (a nominal species not mentioned by Godman) ; (c) the specimens figured as figs 26-29 

 as representing the new species Paradopaea calega were misidentified by Godman when in the 

 text he identified them as belonging to Hesperia garita, the foregoing authors considering that 

 Godman's calega probably represented a distinct species. More recently however calega 

 Godman has been treated by Evans (1955, 4 : 306) as a subspecies of Hesperia garita Reakirt, 

 also placed by him in the genus Oarisma Scudder.] 



Godman explained the inconsistency of his treatment of the name Paradopaea in the text 

 and plate volumes respectively by the following note at the footnote at the bottom of page 

 469 : " Scudder's description of the genus Oarisma was not seen by us until after Tab. 

 XCII. was printed, and the specimens sent us by Strecker as Hesperia garita were wrongly
