GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 395 



REVERD1NUS Ragusa, 1919, Nat. sicil. 23 (7/12) : 172. Type-species by selection by 

 Lindsey, 1925 (Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 18 : 100) : Papilio altheae Hiibner, [1800-1803], 

 Samml. europ. Schmett. : pi. Pap. go, figs 452, 453. 



The name Papilio altheae Hiibner is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Papilio altheae 

 Esper, [1783] (Die Schmett. 1 (Rd 1) Forts. Tagschmett. : 149). It has been renamed 

 Carcharodus imperator Hemming, 1934 (Stylops 3 : 99). The taxon bearing the above names 

 is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented 

 by the older-established nominal species Hesperia floccifera Zeller, 1847, I sis 1847 : 286 — at 

 the species-level, though not at the subspecies-level.

RHADINOP1 ERA Ferreira d'Almeida, 1022, Milanges lep. 1 : 71. Type spe< ies by selection 

 by Riley (1924, Entomologist 57 : 68) : Ithomia nephele Bates, [862, Trans, linn. Soc. Lond. 

 23(3) =548. 



The taxon represented by Ithomia nephele Bates is currently treated subjectively mi taxo- 

 nornic grounds as being a subspecies of the taxon represented by the elder-established nominal 

 species Ithomia cdessa Ilewitson, [1854], ///. exot. Butts 1 : [33], pi. [17], fig. 42 



The name Rhadinoptera Ferreira d'Almeida is invalid, as it is ,1 junior objective synonym of 

 Heterosais Godman & Salvin, [1880]. 



RHAPHICERA Butler, 1867, Ann. Wag. nut. Hist. (3) 19 : [64. Type-species by selection 

 by Butler (Feb. 1868, Ent. mon. Mag. 4 : 196) : Lasiommata satricus Doubleday, [1849],

RHETUS Swainson, [1829], Zool. lllustr. (2) 1 (7) : pi. 33. Type-species through Section (d) 

 (tautonvmv) of Article 68 : Papilio rhetus Cramer, [1775], Uitl. Kapellen 1 (6) : 98, pi. 63, 

 fig. C. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio rhelns Cramer is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Papilio mciiis Linnaeus, 1763 (Amoen. acad. 6 : 409). 



RHINELEPHAS Toxopeus, 1927, Tijdschr. Ent. 70 : 259. Type-species by original designa- 

 tion : Lycaena cyanicornis Snellen, 1892, he. cit. 34 : 146. 



The name Rhinelephas was described by Toxopeus as new on two occasions, the first being 

 that cited above, the second in 1928 (Tijdschr. Ent. 71 : 257). 



RHINOPALPA Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), Dec. i860, Wien. ent. Monats. 4 : 399. Type-species 

 by monotypy : Rhinopalpa fulva Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1860, ibid. 4 : 399. 



The name Rhinopalpa was published again as new in 1861 (Nova Acta Leop. Carol. 82 

 (NO. 3) : 49), this time by Felder (C). This must have been due to some inadvertence, for 

 Felder gave a reference to the paper in which in the previous year he had published this name 

 jointly with Felder (R.). 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Rhinopalpa fulva Felder (C.) & Felder (R.) 

 is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented 

 by the older-established nominal species Vanessa eudoxia Guerin-Meneville, 1840 (Rev. Zool. 

 (Soc. Cuv.) 3 : 44). In its turn the taxon represented by the nominal species Vanessa
