GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 405 



this genus, but did not designate a type-species, but this was of no consequence, as Scada, being 

 a replacement name, automatically takes as its type-species the species (Salacia phyllodoce) 

 which is the type-species of the genus {Salacia), the name of which it replaces. Kirby did 

 not realize that the type-species of Scada was automatically settled in this way and believed 

 himself free to select as type-species any of the other species which he had placed in this 

 genus in 1871. Acting on this erroneous assumption Kirby in 1873 (in Zool. Rec. 8 (year 

 1871) (Ins.) : 359) declared that the type-species of Scada was Oleria theaphia Bates, 1862 

 (Trans, linn. Soc. Lond. 23 : 529). 



SCALIDONEURA Butler, 1871, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1871 : 250. Type-species by original 

 designation : Scalidoneura hermina Butler, 1871, ibid. 1871 : 251, pi. 19, fig. 5. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Scalidoneura hermina Butler is currently 

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

 established nominal species Colias flaveola Blandchard, 1852 (in Gay, Hist. nat. fis. Chile, 

 Zool. 7 : 19, pi. 1, figs 6a, b). 



SCANTILLA Godman & Salvin, [1896], Biol, centr.-amer., Lcp. Rhop. 2 : 437. Type-species 

 by monotypy : Scantilla opites Godman & Salvin, [1896], ibid., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 437, pi. 90, 



figs 3. 4- 5 6*- 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Scantilla opites Godman & Salvin is currently 

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

 established nominal species Tagiades vinculo Plotz, 1886 (Stett. ent. Ztg 47 : 113). 



SCELOTHRIX Scudder, 1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 266 (an Incorrect 

 Subsequent Spelling of Scelotrix Rambur, 1858). 



SCELOTRIX Rambur, 1858, Cat. syst. Lip. Andal. : 63. Type-species by selection by 

 Watson (1893, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1893 : 64) : Papilio carthami Hiibner, [1808-1813], 

 Samml. europ. Sclimett. : pi. Pap. 143, figs 726 [recte 720] <$, 723 ^ [nee figs 721-722]. 



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

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

 shed nominal species Papilio /rilillarins Poda, 1761 (Ins. Mits. graec. : 79 [as defined by the 

 specimen figured as fig. 7 on pi.] 10 by Roesel (1746) cited by Denis & Schiffermuller in an 

 explanatory footnote when publishing the replacement name Papilio fritillum (Ankiindung 

 [sic] eines syst. Werkes Schmett. Wiener Gegend : 159) in 1775). 



SCHATZIA Kirby, 1896, in Allen's Nat. Libr., Lep. 2 : 162. Type-species through Section (i) 

 (replacement names) of Article 67 : Eucheira socialis Westwood, 1834, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 

 1 (1) : 44, pi. 6. 



Kirby introduced the name Schatzia as a replacement of the name Eucheira Westwood in the 

 belief that that name was invalid under the Law of Homonymy as a junior homonym of the 

 name Eucheirus Dejean, 1833. This idea of his was misconceived, as is now clearly laid down 

 in the " One-Letter-Difference " Rule now embodied in Article 56(a). 



In these circumstances the name Eucheira Westwood is an available name and its replace- 

 ment Schatzia Kirby is invalid as a junior objective synonym of that name. 



SCHAUSANA Bell, 1938, Amer. Mus. Novit. No. 1013 : 7. Type-species by original desig- 

 nation : Hesperia (?) altama Schaus, 1902, Proc. U.S. nat. Mus. 24 : 455. 



SCHOENBERGIA Pagenstecher, 1893, JahrB. nassau. Naturk. 1893 : 35. Type-species by 

 montypy : Schoenbergia schoenbergi Pagenstecher, 1893, ibid. 1893 : 35. 



The name of the type-species of this genus was dealt with by Pagenstecher in a very un- 

 satisfactory way. On page 35 Pagenstecher dealt with a taxon to which he applied the name 

 Schoenbergia schoenbergi, supplying for this taxon also the alternative name Schoenbergia 

 paradisea, attributing both these names to himself. On page 39 Pagenstecher stated that the 

 taxon referred to above was the same as that for which Staudinger had published the name 

 Ornithoptera paradisea (June 1893, Ent. Nachr. 193 : 178). He went on to say that Staudinger 

 had never seen a specimen of this species at the time when he published the above name as his 

 own in the Ent. Nachr., the description there given having been based only a description
