The type-species of this genus was given the name Hesperia mystic twice in the same year, 

 once (as shown above) by Edwards, who was its original author in manuscript, and once by 

 Scudder (April 1863, Proc. Essex Inst. 3 : 172). This name as published by Scudder has a 

 few months' priority over its counterpart as published by Edwards. 



PYRRHOSTICTA Butler, 1872, Cistula ent. 1 : 86. Type-species by monotypy : Papilio 

 laetitia Butler, 1872, ibid. 1 : 84. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio laetitia Butler is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Papilio archytas Hopffer, 1866 [Steit. ent. Ztg 27 : 28). In its 

 turn, the taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio archytas Hopffer is currently 

 treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being a subspecies of the taxon represented 

 by the older-established nominal species Papilio cleotas Gray, 1832, in Griffith's Cuvier's 

 Anim. Kingd. 15 : 673, pi. 86 5". 



PYTHONIDES Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 111. Type-species by selection 

 by Butler (1870, Ent. mon. Mag. 7 : 97) : Papilio jovianus Stoll, [1782], in Cramer, Uitl.

Q UADR US Lindsey, 1925, Ann. ent. Soc. Amev. 18 : 99. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio cerialis Stoll, [1782], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (33) : 213, pi. 392, figs N, O. 



Following an erroneous type-selection by Scudder in 1875 [Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., 

 Boston 10 : 262), Papilio cerialis Stoll was treated by many authors as being the type-species 

 of the genus Pythomides Hiibner, [1819], until in 1925 Lindsey pointed out that the true 

 type-species of Pythonides was Papilio jovianus Stoll by selection by Butler in 1870. This 

 correction of the type-species of Pythonides left Papilio cerialis Stoll without a generic name 

 and it was to make good this deficiency that Lindsey introduced the name Ouadrus. 



QUEDARA Swinhoe, 1919, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (9) 3 : 316. Type-species by original desig- 

 nation : Quedara comoplea Swinhoe, 1919, ibid. (9) 3 : 317. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Quedara comoplea Swinhoe is currently 

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

 established nominal species Plesioneura monteithi Wood-Mason & de Niceville, 1886 (/. 

 asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 55 : 391, pi. 18, figs 3, 3a $). 



QUERCUSIA Verity, 1943, Le Farfalle diurn. d' Italia 2 : 343. Type-species by original 

 designation : Papilio quercus Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 482. 



QUINT A Evans, 1955, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 265, 274. Type-species by original 

 designation : Cobalus cannae Herrich-Schaeffer, 1869, CorrespBl. zool.-min. Ver. Regens- 

 burg 23 : 203. 



RACHELIA Hemming, 1964, Annot. lep. (4) : 143. Type-species through Section (i) (replace- 

 ment names) of Article 67 : Eudamus extrusus Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1867], Reise 

 Fregatte " Novara ", Lep. Rhop. (3) : 510, pi. 72, figs 13, 14. 



Rachelia was introduced as a replacement for Protogenes Mabille & Boullet, 191 2, which is 

 invalid under the Law of Homonymy. In 1925 Lindsey published the replacement name 

 Vlasta, but that name also is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. [The name Rachelia is 

 based upon the Christian name of my elder daughter.]
