GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 343 



regarded as being congeneric with the type-species of the genus Parathymia. These seven 

 generic names were all published at the same time and in the same work as the name Parathymia. 

 Under the Code the relative precedence to be accorded to these seven names as between one 

 another and in relation to the name Parathymia depends on the choice made by the First 

 Reviser. As has already been explained in the note on the name Pantoporia Hiibner, the 

 large group of species here in question was usually — though entirely incorrectly — treated as 

 belonging to the genus Pantoporia, with which the numerous genera established by Moore 

 were accordingly identified. As the result of this treatment of these nominal taxa, no 

 occasion then arose for making First Reviser choices as to the relative precedence to be 

 accorded to the names here in question. When in 1934 {Gen. Names hoi. Butts 1 : 87) I 

 drew attention to the fact that the then current use of the name Pantoporia for the Limenitid 

 species centred around Papilio sulpitia Cramer was entirely incorrect, the type-species of 

 Pantoporia being the Neptid species Papilio hordonia Stoll, I adopted the name Parathymia 

 for Papilio sulpitia and the other species till then often incorrectly placed in the genus 

 Pantoporia. I did not however then refer to the other names published by Moore which (for 

 the reasons explained above) were possible rivals of the name Parathyma. The name 

 Parathyma came into general use, but the position of that name did not become assured until 

 in 1964 {Annot. lep. (3) : 80) I made a First Reviser choice according precedence to it over the 

 seven other names concerned. The names in question, all published by Moore in 1898 were 

 the following : Tatisia ; Kironga ; Zabana ; Condochates ; Sabania ; Balanga ; Zamboanga. 



PARATISIPHONE Watkins, 1928, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (10) 1:615. Type-species by 

 original designation : Lasiommata lyrnessa Hewitson, 1872, Ent. mon. Mag. 9 : 85.

PARATRYTONE Dyar, 1905, J.N. Y. ent. Soc. 13 : 136. Type-species by original designation : 

 Pamphila howardi Skinner, 1896, Canad. Ent. 28 : 187. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Pamphila howardi is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Pamphila aaroni Skinner, 1890 {Ent. News 1:6). 



The name Paratrytone Dyar is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Paratrytone Godman, 

 [1900]. 



PARCE Oberthur & Houlbert, 1922, C.R. Acad. Sci., Paris 174 : 192. Type-species by 

 original designation : Parce fergana Oberthur & Houlbert, 1922, ibid. 174 : 192 [a nominal 

 species established quite unnecessarily as a replacement for the nominal species Melanargia 

 parce Staudinger, 1882, Berl. ent. Z. 26 : 170]. 



In this paper Oberthur & Houlbert, when introducing a generic name consisting of the 

 same word as that of the specific name borne by the species designated by them as type- 

 species, adopted the peculiar — and entirely invalid — course of rejecting the specific name 

 concerned and of giving it a new name, in this case rejecting the specific name parce Staudinger, 

 1882, and replacing it with the name fergana. 



PARCELLA Stichel, 1910, Berl. ent. Z. 55 (1/2) : 59. Type-species by original designation : 

 Amblygonia amarynthina Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1865], Reise Fregatte " Novara " 

 Lep. Rhop. (2) : 309. 



The older name Amblygonia Felder & Felder is invalid under the Law of Homonymy.
