GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 363 



At the time of the publication of the Verz., the species in question was without a name 

 properly applicable to it, and the name dracontis Hiibner is therefore its valid taxonomic 

 name. 



This is another of the considerable number of cases in which Hiibner appropriated to him- 

 self a name (in this case Pieris Schrank) previously published by another author in an entirely 

 different sense. The name Pieris Hiibner is invalid, as being a junior homonym of Pieris 

 Schrank, 1801. 



PIERITES Heer, [1850], N. Denks. Allg. schweiz. Ges. Naturw. 11 (year 1849) : 182 (offprint 

 as : InsektenfannaTertidr. Oeningen Radoboj 2 : 182). Type-species by monotypy : Pierites 

 freyeri Heer, [1850], ibid. 11 : 182. 



This monobasic genus and species were established by Heer for a fossil which he considered 

 to belong to the family Pieridae. 



PIERPHULIA Field, 1958, Proc. U.S. nat. Mus. 108 : 117, 106. Type-species by original 

 designation : Phulia nysiella Rober, [1909], in Seitz, Grossschmett. Erde 5 : 98, pi. 28, 

 fig. D.6. 



The specific name nysiella Rober was originally proposed in manuscript by Staudinger. 



PIGRITIA Ferreira d'Almeida, 1922, Milanges lip. 1 : 92. Type-Species by monotypy : 

 Rhadinoptera umbraticola Ferreira d'Almeida, i<)>>, ibid. 1 : 92. 



The name Pigritia Ferreira d'Almeida is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Pigritia 

 Clemens, i860 {Proc. Acad. nat. Sci. Philad. 1860 : 172). It has been replaced by the name 

 Pigritina Hedicke, 1923. 



PIGRITINA Hedicke, 1923, Berl. ent. Z. 1923 (1) : 72. Type-species through Section (i) 

 (replacement names) of Article 67 : Rhadinoptera umbraticola Ferreira d'Almeida, i<)22, 

 Milanges lip. 1 : 92. 



The name Pigritina was introduced by Hedicke as a replacement for Pigritia Ferreira 

 d'Almeida, 1922, which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. 



PILODEUDORIX Druce, 1891, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (6) 7 (40) : 366. Type-species by 

 original designation : Pilodeudorix barbatus Druce, 1891, ibid. (6) 7 (40) : 366. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Pilodeudorix barbatus Druce is currently 

 treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the 

 older-established nominal species Sithon camerona Plotz, 1880 (Stett. ent. Ztg 41 : 201). 



PINACOPTERYX Wallengrcn, 1857, 7\'. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl., Stockholm (n.f.) 2 

 (1) (No. 4) : 7. Type-species by selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., 

 Boston 10 : 250) : Pieris eriphia Godart, [1819], limy. mith. 9 (Ins.) (1) : 157. 



This generic name was published as a new name by Wallengren on two occasions, the 

 second being in 1858 ((')fvers. VetenskAkad. Fork., Stochh. 15 : 75). 



P1NDIS Felder (R.), 1869, Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien 19 : 475. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Pindis squamistriga Felder (R.), 1869, ibid. 19 : 475.
