408 FRANCIS HEMMING 



SEMALEA Holland, 1896, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1896 : 64. Type-species by original desig- 

 nation : Hesperia pulvina Plotz, 1879, Stett. ent. Ztg 40 : 353 [figured on Plotz's MS. 

 pi. 264]. 



SEMANGA Distant, 1884, Rhop. malayana : 233, 239. Type-species by original designation : 

 Ilerda (?) superba Druce, 1873, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1873 : 350, pi. 32, fig. 11. 



SEMELIA Doubleday, 1844, List Spec. lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. 1 : 64. Type-species by selection 

 by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 267) : Cethosia vibilia Godart, 

 [1819], Ency. me'th. 9 (Ins.) (1) : 245. 



Doubleday attributed this generic name to Boisduval, by whom, no doubt, it had been put 

 into irregular circulation as a manuscript name. 



SEMELIA Erichson, 1848, in Schomburgk, Reisen Britisch-Guiana 3 : 596. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Papilio lybia Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 460. 



Erichson was aware that the name Semelia had originally been proposed by Boisduval and 

 also that it had never been published by that author; he was not aware that it had been 

 published by Doubleday. From Erichson's point of view Semelia was an unpublished name. 



The name Semelia Erichson is invalid, as being a junior homonym of Semelia Doubleday, 

 1844. 



SEMELIA Boisduval, 1870, Consid. Lipid. Guatemala : 35. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Cethosia vibilia Godart, [1819], Ency. me'th. 9 (Ins.) (1) : 245. 



In the above work Boisduval at last validly published the generic name Semelia which, 

 as shown above, he had put into circulation as a manuscript name over a quarter of a century 

 earlier. As published by Boisduval in 1870, the name Semelia was invalid, both as a junior 

 homonym of, and as a junior objective synonym of, Semelia Doubleday, 1844. 



SEMICUDATI Koch, i860, Stett. ent. Ztg 21 : 231. Type-species by selection by Hem- 

 ming, (1935, Entomologist 68 : 41) : Papilio sarpedon Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 

 461. 



This name is invalid under Article 1 1 (f ) by reason of having been published in the nomina- 

 tive plural instead of in the nominative singular. 



Even if this generic name had not been invalid for the foregoing reason, it would neverthe- 

 less have been invalid because by the deliberate choice in 1935 of Papilio sarpedon Linnaeus 

 as type-species it became a junior objective synonym of Graphium Scopoli, 1777. 



SEMNOPSYCHE Scudder, 1875, Bull. Buffalo Soc. not. Sci. 2 : 238, 258. Type-species by 

 original designation : Papilio diana Cramer, [1777], Uitl. Kapellen 2 (9) : 4, 148, pi. 98, 

 figs D, E S- 



SEMOMESIA Westwood, [1851], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 455. Type-species by 

 selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 267) : Papilio croesus 

 Fabricius, 1777, Gen. Ins. : 259. 



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

 Lexias satrapes Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1861, Wien. ent. Monats. 5 : 302. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Lexia satrapes is currently treated subjective- 

 ly on taxonomic grounds as being congeneric with that represented by the nominal species 

 Cynthia damalis Erichson, 1834, the type-species of Camaraga Moore, [1897]. The names 

 Senadipa and Camaraga having been published on the same date and in the same work, the 

 relative precedence to be accorded to them depends on the choice of the First Reviser. This 

 choice was made by myself in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 79), when I gave precedence to the name 

 Camaraga Moore, sinking the name Senadipa Moore as a junior subjective synonym. 



SEOKIA Sibatani, 1943, Trans. Kansai ent. Soc. 13 (No. 2) : 12. Type-species by original 

 designation : Papilio aceris Esper, [1783], Die Schmett. 1 (Bd 2) Forts. Tagschmett. : 142, 

 pi. 81, figs 3 S, 4 ?• 



The name Seokia is invalid as it is a junior objective synonym of Neptis Fabricius, 1807.
