PATOSA Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1883 : 259. Type-species by original designation : 

 Crastia funerea Butler, 1878, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1878 : 298. 



PATRICIA Fox, 1940, Trans, amer. ent. Soc. 66 : 177. Type-species by original designation :

PATSUIA Moore, [1898], Lep. ind. 3 (32) : 146. Type-species by original designation : 

 Limenitis sinensium Oberthur, 1876, Etud. ent. 2 : 25, pi. 4, fig. 8 q*. 



Patsuia was established by Moore in a preliminary list of genera, many others of which were 

 also new. He designated a type-species for this genus in this list but did not provide a 

 generic diagnosis for this or for the other new genera then established. In the immediately 

 following Part of the same volume [1898], loc. cit. 3 (33) : 172) this deficiency was however 

 made good. 



PAULOGRAMMA Dillon, 1948, Sci. Publ. Reading pitbl. Mus. 8 : 1. Type-species by 

 original designation : Nymphalis pyracmon Godart, [1824], Ency. mith. 9 (Ins.) (2) : 424. 



PAVERMIA Reakirt, [1865], Proc. ent. Soc. Philad. 3 : 503, 504. Invalid under Article 1 of 

 the Code because based on a hypothetical concept. 



The name Pavermia was introduced by Reakirt in a revision of the genus Papilio Linnaeus. 

 Reakirt recognised frankly that the concept represented by Pavermia was entirely hypo- 

 thetical, no species conforming to the diagnosis which he provided being known to him. 



For particulars as to the date here assigned to this generic name see the note given under 

 the name Atrophaneura Reakirt. 



PA VONIA Godart, [1824], Ency. mith. 9 (Ins.) (2) : 807. Type-species by selection by 

 Hemming (1943, Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond. (B) 12 : 26) : Papilio idomeneus Linnaeus, 1758, 

 Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 464. 



The nominal genus Pavonia was established by Godart for the species included in the 

 " deuxieme division " of the genus Morpho earlier in the Ency. me'th. (i.e. on pages 437-438 

 and 446-455). The seventh of these species and (species No. 27 of the genus Morpho as a 

 whole) was Papilio idomeneus Linnaeus, selected by myself in 1943 as the type-species of 

 this genus. 



The name Pavonia Godart is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, being a junior homonym : 

 (a) of Pavonia Lamarck, 1816 (Anim. sans Vertebr. 2 : 238), and (b) of Pavonia Hiibner, 

 [1819] (Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (10) : 157). 



Even if the name Pavonia Godart had not been invalid under the Law of Homonymy, it 

 would nevertheless have been invalid, for it is a junior objective synonym of Aerodes Billberg, 

 1820. 



PAZALA Moore, 1888, Descr. new Ind. Lep. Coll. Atkinson (3) : 283. Type-species by original 

 designation : Papilio glycerion Gray, 1831, Zool. Miscell. (Gray) (1) : 32. 



PEDALIODES Butler, 1867, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (3) 20 : 267. Type-species by original 

 designation : Pronophila poesia Hewitson, 1862, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. (3) 1 : 6, pi. 3,

PEDESTA Hemming, 1934, Entomologist 67 : 38. Type-species through Section (i) (replace- 

 ment names) of Article 67 : Isoteinon masuriensis Moore, 1878, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 

 1878 (3) : 693. 



The name Pedesta was introduced to replace the name Pedestes Watson, 1893, which is 

 invalid under the Law of Homonymy. 



PEDESTES Watson, 1893, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1893 : 71, 81. Type-species by original 

 designation : Isoteinon masuriensis Moore, 1878, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1878 (3) : 693. 



The name Pedestes Watson is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Pedestes Gray, 1842 

 (Syn. Cont. Brit. Mus. (ed. 44) : 126, 128). It has been replaced by the name Pedesta 

 Hemming.
