GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 393 



RADENA Moore, [1880], Lep. Ceylon 1 (1) : 3. Type-species by original designation : Papilio 

 similis Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 479. 



Up till the year 1946 the name Radena Moore was invalid as being a junior objective 

 synonym of Euploea Fabricius, 1807, of which also Papilio similis Linnaeus was the type- 

 species. In that year the Commission used its Plenary Powers to set aside the designation 

 (by Scudder, 1875) of the above species as the type-species of Euploea Fabricius, that species 

 never having been used in that sense. By this Ruling, which was given in the Commission's 

 Opinion 163 (Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 2 : 335-346), Radena Moore ceased to be a junior 

 objective synonym of Euploea Fabricius and became a nomenclatorially available name. 



RAGADIA Wist wood, 1851], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 376. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Euptychia crisia (ieyer, [1832], in Hiibner, Zutr. z. Satnml. e.xot. Schmett. 4 : 



21, pi. [117], figs 675, 676. 



RAHINDA Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (2) : 56. Type-species by original designation : 



Papilio hordonia Stoll, [1790], Aanhangs. Werk. Uitl. Kapellen Pieter Cramer : 149, pi. 33, 



figs 4, 4 1). 



The name Rahinda Moore is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Pantoperia 



Hiibner, [1819]. 

 RAM ASA Hulstaert, 1931, in Wytsman's Gen. Ins. 193 : 137 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling 



of Pramasa Moore, 1883). 



RAMBURIA Warren, C926, Trans, ent. Soc. Lund. 74 : 15. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Pyrgus antonia Speyer, 1879, Stett. ent. Ztg 40 : 342. 



The name Ramburia Warren is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Ratnburia Kobineau- 

 Desvoidy, 1851 (Ann. Soc. ent. Ft. (2) 9 : 189). 



RANGASA Moore, [1897], Lep. ind. 3 (27) : 49, 65. Type-species by original designation : 

 Adolias dunya Doubleday, [1848], Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 44, fig. 3 [text [ibid. (2) : 291) by 

 Westwood published in October 1850]. 



RANGBIA Moore, [1892], Lep. ind. 1 (10) : 232. Type-species by original designation ; 



Debis scanda Moore, 1857, in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lip. his. Mits. East India Coy (1) : 



218. 

 RAPALA Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (3) : 105. Type-species by original designation : 



Thecla varuna Horsfield, [1829], Descr. Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East India Coy (2) : 91. 



RAPHICERA Rober, [1889], in Schatz, in Staudinger & Schatz, Exot. Schmett. Bd 1 (Th. 2) 

 (5) : 202 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of Rhaphicera Butler, 1867). 



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

 Athyma gracilis Kirsch, 1885, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1885 : 276, pi. 19, fig. 4. 



When establishing this genus, Moore designated a type-species but gave no generic diagno- 

 sis. This deficiency he made good in the following year ([1899], loc. cit. 4 (39) : 44). 



RASUMA Moore, 1883, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1883 : 282. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Calliploea violetta Butler, 1876, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 18 : 242. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Calliploea violetta Butler is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older- 

 established nominal species Euploea guerini Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1865], (Reise Fregatte 

 " Novara " (2) : 332). 



RATHINDA Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (3) : 99. Type-species by original designation :

 Papilio lathonia Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 481. 



The name Rathora Moore is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Issoria Hiibner, 

 [1819]. Moore erroneously supposed that the type-species of Issoria was the quite different 

 species (Papilio egista Cramer), then selected by himself — invalidly because Papilio lathonia
