to the name Sloperia in relation to the name Muschampia for those specialists who held on 

 taxonomic grounds that the taxa represented respectively by the nominal species that are the 

 type-species of those genera were congeneric with one another; for those generic names were 

 published on the same date in the same work. This question was settled in favour of Sloperia 

 by Warren, as First Reviser, when he gave preference (1926, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 74 (1) : 

 165) to that name over Muschampia.) 



SMERINA Hewitson, 1874, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 14 : 359. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Smerina vindonissa Hewitson, 1874, ibid. (4) 14 : 359. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Smerina vindonissa Hewitson is currently 

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

 established nominal species Atella manoro Ward, 1871, {Ent. mon. Mag. 8 : 121). 



SMITHIA Mabille, [1880], Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. (5) 9, Bull. : clxxiii. Type-species by mono- 

 typy : Smithia paradoxa Mabille, [1880], ibid. (5) 9, Bull. : clxxiii. 



The above names were put before the Entomological Society of France at a meeting held 

 on 24th December 1879 ; they were included in the volume for the year 1879, but publication 

 cannot have taken place before some date in 1880. 



The name Smithia Mabille is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of the name Smithia Milne 

 Edwards & Haime, 1851 {Arch. Mus. Hist. nat. Paris 5 : 171) (Coelenterata). It has been 

 replaced by name Admiratio Hemming, 1964. 



SMYRNA Hiibner, [1823], Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : pi. [65]. Type-species by monotypy : 



Papilio blomfildia Fabricius, 1781, Spec. Ins. 2 : 84. 



On the legend to Hiibner's plate [65], the specific name appeared in the spelling " blom- 



fildii " , this being either an Unjustified Emendation of, or an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling 



of the name blomfildia Fabricius. 

 SODALIA Evans, 1955, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 85, 104. Type-species by original 



designation : Pamphila sodalis Butler, 1877, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1877 : 150. 



SOLENITES Mabille, 1887, in Grandidier, Hist. phys. nat. pol. Madagascar 18, Lep. 1 : 82. 



Type-species by selection by Hemming (1935), Stylops 4:2: Acraea igati Boisduval, 1833, 



Nouv. Ann. Mus. Hist. nat. Paris 2 (2) : 177, pi. 4, fig. 3 ; pi. 5, fig. 3 [repaged offprint as 



Faun. ent. Madagascar, Lep. : 29, pi. 4, fig. 3, pi. 4, fig. 3]. 



The name Solenites Mabille, would have been invalid as a junior homonym of Solenites 



Gesner, 1758 {Tract. Petref. : 39), if it had not been for the fact that in 1954 {Opin. int. Comm. 



zool. Nom. 4 : 231-238) the Commission in its Opinion 230 had rejected Gesner's Tractatus 



for nomenclatorial purposes. 

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



Adolias kanda Moore, 1859, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. (2) 5 : 69, pi. 4, fig. 2 $. 



SOPHIST A Plotz, 1879, Stett. ent. Ztg 40 : 176, 179. Type-species by original designation : 

 Thracides aristoteles Westwood, [April 1852], in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 80, 

 fig. 2 [text (: 513) published in August 1852 as Goniloba sp.]. 



This name was republished as new by Plotz in 1882 {Berl. ent. Z. 26 : 264). 



There were two original spellings of this name in 1879, namely Sophista { : 176) and Sopleista 

 (: 179). When Plotz republished this name in 1882, he used the spelling, "Sophista " 

 which thus became the Correct Original Spelling, " Sopleista " becoming an Incorrect Original 

 Spelling through this First Reviser action of Plotz's. 



SOPLEISTA Plotz, 1879, Stett. ent. Ztg 40 : 179 (an Incorrect Original Spelling of Sophista 



Plotz, 1879).

designation : Taxilia burnii de Niceville, 1895, /. Bombay nat. Hist. Soc. 9 (3) : 266, pi. N, 



fig. 9 $• 



The name Sosibia Fruhstorfer is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Sosibia Stal, 1875 



{Recensio Orthopt. 3 : 87).
