eudoxia is currently treated subjectively as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older- 

 established nominal species Papilio polynice Cramer, [1779] [Uitl. Kapellen 3 (17) : 4, pi. 195, 

 figs D, E). 



RHINTHON Godman, [1900], in Godman & Salvin, Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 530. 

 Type-species by original designation : Proteides chiriquensis Mabille, 1889, Le Natur- 

 aliste (2) 3 : 127, fig. 1 o*- 



The taxon represented by Proteides chiriquensis Mabille is currently treated subjectively on 

 taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-established nominal 

 species Hesperia osca Plotz, 1883 (Stett. ent. Ztg 44 : 48), which in turn is considered to 

 represent a subspecies of the taxon represented by the nominal species Goniloba cubana 

 Herrich-Schaeffer, 1865 (CorrespBl. zool.-min. Ver. Regensburg 19 : 55). 



RHIPHEUS Swainson, [1833], Zool. Illnst. (2) 3 (28) : pi. 131. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Rhipheus dasycephalus Swainson, [1833], ibid. (2) 3 (28) : pi. 131. 



The nominal species Rhipheus dasycephalus Swainson (a replacement for the nominal 

 species Papilio rhipheus Drury, [1773], ///. nat. Hist. 2 : index et 40) is based upon the figure 

 of a moth with the antennae of a butterfly. Swainson himself believed that the figure 

 represented a true species belonging — as he explained in a note to plate 125 — to the family 

 Papilionidae. 



RHODOCERA Boisduval & Leconte, [1830], Hist. nat. icon. Lip. Chenilles Amir. sept. (8) : 70. 

 Type-species by selection by Blanchard (1840, Hist. nat. Ins. 3 : 431) : Papilio rhamni 

 Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 470. 



The name Rhodocera Boisduval & Leconte is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of 

 Gonepteryx [Leach], [18 15]. 



Through a mistaken belief that Butler in 1870 (Cistula ent. 1 : 35) was the first author to 

 select a type-species for this genus, the nominal species Mancipium menippe Hiibner, [1818], 

 has been treated by some authors as the type-species. Since the clearing-up of this mis- 

 conception the above species has been made the type-species of a new genus, Klotsius Hemming, 

 1964. 



RHODUSSA Ferreira d' Almeida, 1939, Rev. Ent., R. de J. 10 (2) : 278. Type-species by 

 original designation : Ceratinia pamina Haensch, 1905, Berl. ent. Z. 50 : 150. 



RHOPALOCAMPTA Wallengren, 1857, K. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl., Stockholm (n.f.) 2 (1) 

 (No. 4) : 47. Type-species by selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amir. Acad. Arts Sci., 

 Boston 10 : 263) : Papilio for estan Stoll, [1782], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (33) : 210, pi. 

 391, figs E, F. 



The name Rhopalocampta Wallengren is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of 

 Coeliades Hiibner, 1818. 



RIDENS Evans, 1952, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 2 : 40, 80. Type-species by original 

 designation : Eudamus ridens Hewitson, 1876, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 18 : 349. 



RINDAHARA Kirby, [1882], in Zool. Rec. 18 (year 1881) (Ins.) : 165 (an Incorrect Subsequent 

 Spelling of Bindahara Moore, [1881]). 



RIODINA Westwood, [1851], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 430. Type-species through 

 Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Papilio lysippus Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. 

 Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 484. 



The name Riodina was introduced by Westwood as a replacement for the name Erycina 

 Fabricius, 1807, which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. 



RIPHEUS Swainson, [1833], Zool. Illustr. (2) 3 (28) : pi. 125 (an Incorrect Original Spelling of 

 Rhipheus Swainson, [1833]). 



As already explained in the note on Rhipheus Swainson, the type-species of that genus is 

 not a butterfly.
