GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 389 



ly, the name Charma Doherty is not a homonym of C/iarmus Karsch but is an available name. 

 The replacement name Putlia Moore is therefore itself invalid as a junior objective synonym 

 of Charma Doherty. 

 PUTSUIA Moore, [1898], Lep. ind. 3 (33) : 172 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of Patsuia 

 Moore, [1898]). 



The generic name here in question was spelled " Patsuia " when published in Part 32 of the 

 Lep. ind., but in the immediately following Part (Part 33) it was misspelled as " Putsuia ". 

 This misprint was corrected by Moore in the index of the same volume published in 1899 

 (loc. cit. 3 (36) : 253). 



PYCINA Doubleday, [Aug. 1849], Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 48, fig. 3. Type-species by mono- 

 typy : Pycina zamba (Boisduval MS.) Doubleday, [1849], ibid. (2) : pi. 48, fig. 3 [text [ibid. 



(2) : 305) by Westwood published in Nov. 1850]. 



PYCNOPHALLIUM Toxopeus, 1929, Tijdschr. Enl. 72 : 22S. Type-species by selection by 

 Hemming (1964, Annot. lep. (4) : 133) : Polyommatus roxus Godart, [1824], Ency. meth. 

 9 (Ins.) (2) : 659. 



This is one of a number of generic names published at the same time which Toxopeus 

 indicated might in the end be published first in the serial Treubia. Full particulars in regard 

 to this matter are given in the note on the name Discolampa Toxopeus. In fact, the con- 

 templated publication in Treubia did not take place, and the present name was first published 

 in the volume of the Tijdschr. Ent. cited above. 



PYRAMEIDES Hiibner, [1826], Verz. bekannt. Schmett., Anz. : 7 (an Incorrect Subsequent 

 Spelling of Pyrameis Hiibner, [1819]). 



PYRAMEIS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (3) : 33. Type-species by selection by 



Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 260) : Papilio atalanta Linneus, 1758, 



Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 478. 



The name Pyrameis Hiibner is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Vanessa 



Fabricius, 1807. 

 PYRDALUS Mabille, 1903, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 17 (A) : 44, 60. Type-species by mono- 



typy : Papilio corbulo Stoll, [1781], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (30) : 122, pi. 354, fig. A. 



PYRGUS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Stinnett. (7) : 109. Type-species by selection by 

 Westwood, 1841 (in Humphreys & Westwood, Brit. Halts Transformations (ed. 1) : 120) : 

 Papilio alveolus Hiibner, [1800-1803], Samml. europ. Schmett : pi. Pap. 92, figs 466, 467. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio alveolus Hiibner is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Papilio malvae Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 485. 



The name Pyrgus Hiibner has been placed by the Commission by its Opinion 278 (1954, 

 Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 6 : 135-178) on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology 

 as Name No. 706. 



PYRISITIA Butler, 1870, Cislula ent. 1 : 35, 44. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio proterpia Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 478. 



PYRONIA Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (4) : 59. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 261) : Pyronia tithone Hiibner, 

 [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (4) : 59 (as defined by the lectotype of Papilio tithonus 

 Linnaeus, 1771 (Mantissa Plant. : 537), which by selection by Hemming (1964, Annot. lep. 



(3) : 93) represents also the lectotype of the present nominal species). 



The nominal species Pyronia tithone was established by Hiibner upon the basis of biblio- 

 graphical references to three previously established nominal species. In order to provide the 

 concept represented by the nominal species Pyronia tithone Hiibner with a determinate content 

 and in order also to link that nominal species closely with Papilio tithonus Linnaeus, 1771 (the 

 first of the previously established nominal species upon which Pyronia tithone Hiibner is 

 based), I designated in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 93) the lectotype of Papilio tithonus Linnaeus
