SEVANDA Moore, 1880, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1880 : 174. Type-species by original desig- 

 nation : Satyrus duponcheli Guerin-Meneville, [1838], Voy. autonr Monde " Coquille ", 

 Zool. 2, No. 2 : 316, pi. Ins. 17, fig. 3. 



SHANIA Evans, 1912, /. Bombay nat. Hist. Soc. 21 (2) : 564. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Ypthima megalia de Niceville, 1897, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal, Pt II, 66 : 546, pi. 1, fig. 5. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Ypthima megalia de Niceville is currently 

 treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being a subspecies of the taxon represented by 

 the older-established nominal species Ypthima megalomma Butler, 1874 (Cistula ent. 1 : 236). 



SHEFFIELDIA Druce, 1912, Ent. mon. Mag. 48 : 128. Type-species by original designation : 

 Sherfieldia neavei Druce, 1912, ibid. 48 : 128, pi. 9, fig. 7 o*. 



SHIJIMIA Matsumura, 1919, Thous. Ins. Japan, Addit. 3 : 656. Type-species by original 

 designation : Lycaena moorei Leech, 1889, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1889 : 109, pi. 7, fig. 3 



[nee 4]. 



SHIJIMIAEOIDES Beuret, 1958, Mitt. ent. Ges. Basel (n.f.) 8 (6) : 100. Type-species by 

 original designation : Lycaena barine Leech, [Jan. 1893], Butts China Japan Corea (2) 

 (text-pt 3) : 304 ; id., [Oct. 1983], ibid. (2) (pl.-pt 3/4) : pi. 31, fig. 14 $. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Lycaena barine Leech was long misunder- 

 stood, specimens being very rare in collections. However in 1931 (Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (10) 

 8 : 578) I gave grounds in support of the treatment of this taxon as a subspecies of that repre- 

 sented by the older-established nominal species Lycaena divina Fixsen, 1887 (in Romanoff, 

 M6m. Lipid. 3 : 286-288, pi. 13, figs 5a $ (ups.), 5b $ (unds.). 



SHIROZUA Sibatai & Ito, 1942, Tenthredo, Kyote 3 (4) : 322. Type-species by original 

 designation : Thecla jonasi Janson, 1877, Cistula ent. 2 : 157. 



SICCA Verity, 1953, Le Farfalle diurn. d' Italia 5 : 83. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio dorus Esper, [1782], Die Schmett. 1 (Bd 2) Forts. Tagschmett. : 130, pi. 78, fig. 1 <$. 



SICYONIA Hiibner, 18 16, Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (1) : 13. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 268) : Papilio rhea Cramer, [1775], 

 Uitl. Kapellen 1 (5) : 85, pi. 54, figs C, D. 



Hiibner cited the name Papilio rhea Cramer in the synonymy of the nominal species Nereis 

 thamar Hiibner, [1806] (Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : pi. [16]). Under Article 69(a) (i) a nominal 

 species, the name of which is cited in synonymy in the foregoing manner at the time of the 

 establishment of a nominal genus ranks as an originally included nominal species. Thus, 

 Scudder 's selection of Papilio rhea as type-species was perfectly valid. 



The name Papilio rhea Cramer is invalid, because it is a junior homonym of the name 

 Papilio rhea Poda, 1761 (Ins. Mits. graec. : 66). It is considered subjectively on taxonomic 

 grounds that the oldest available name subjectively applicable to the taxon named Papilio 

 rhea Cramer is Nereis thamar Hiibner, [1806], with which as, already noted, Papilio rhea 

 Cramer was synonymized by Hiibner. 



The taxon represented by Nereis thamar Hiibner is currently treated subjectively as being a 

 subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio sara 

 Fabricius, 1793 (Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 167). 



The name Sicyonia Hiibner is of no practical value to lepidopterists as according to current 

 taxonomic ideas it is no more than a junior subjective synonym of the name Heliconius Kluk, 

 1802. On the other hand, there is a later name consisting of the same word — Sicyonia Milne 

 Edwards (H.), 1830 — which applies to a well-known genus of Penaeid prawns. In order to 

 validate this name in the Decapoda, the Commission in its Opinion 382 (1956, Opin. int. 

 Comm. zool. Nom. 12 : 43-58) used its Plenary Powers to suppress the generic name 

 Sicyonia Hiibner for the purposes, both of the Law of Priority and of the Law of Homonymy, 

 at the same time placing that name on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic 

 Names in Zoology as Name No. 380.
