TAGATSIA Moore, [1898], Lep. ind. 3 (32) : 146. Type-species by original designation : 

 Athyma dama Moore, 1858, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1858 : 19, pi. 51, fig. 5. 



When he established this genus, Moore designated a type-species but did not provide a 

 generic diagnosis. He made good this deficiency in the following year ([1899], ibid. 4 (38) : 



28). 



TAGIADES Hubner, Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 108. Type-species by selection by Butler 

 (1870, Ent. mon. Mag. 7 : 99) : Papilio japetus Stoll, [1781], in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 

 4 (31) : 145, pi. 365, figs E, F. 



TAJURIA Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (3) : 108. Type-species by original designation : 

 Hesperia longinus Fabricius, 1798, Suppl. Ent. syst. : 430. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Hesperia longinus Fabricius is currently 

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

 the nominal species Hesperia cippus Fabricius, 1798, (loc. cit. : 429). As the specific names 

 longinus Fabricius and cippus Fabricius were published on the same date in the same work, the 

 relative precedence to be accorded to them depends on the choice made by the First Reviser. 

 This appears in the present case to have been Swinhoe when in 191 1 (in Moore, Lep. ind. 9 (101) : 

 104-105) he gave precedence to the specific name cippus Fabricius, sinking longinus Fabricius 

 as a junior subjective synonym. 



TALBOTIA Bernardi, 1958, Rev. franc. Ent. 25 : 125. Type-species by original designation : 

 Mancipium nabanum Moore, 1884, /. asiat. Soc. Bengal., Pt II, 53 : 45. 



TALICADA Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (3) : 96. Type-species by original designation : 

 Polyommatus nyseus Guerin-Meneville, 1843, in Delessert, Souvenirs Voy. Inde : 78, pi. 22, 

 figs 1, ia. 



TALIDES Hubner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 106. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. ArtsSci., Boston 10 : 275) : Talides sinois Hubner, [1819], 

 loc. cit. (7) : 106 [a nominal species established as a replacement for the nominal species 

 Papilio sinon Stoll, [1781] (in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (29) : 101, pi. 342, figs D, E), the 

 name of which is invalid as a junior homonym of Papilio sinon Poda, 1761 (Ins. Mus. graec. : 

 62)]. 



The first effort to provide this genus with a type-species was made by Butler in 1870 (Ent. 

 mon. Mag. 7 : 93), but this attempt was unsuccessful, for the nominal species then selected, 

 Talides athenion Hubner was then (as published in the Verzeichniss) only a nomen nudum, 

 and was not an available name until published in [1825] (Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : pi. [148]). 

 When Scudder (1825) selected Talides sinois Hubner, he followed the practice adopted 

 throughout his paper of associating with the species cited by Hubner the name, where different, 

 used for that species by Kirby in 1871. The species so associated by Kirby (: 591) namely 

 Papilio segestus Cramer, [1775], is not currently identified with Talides sinois, but this does not 

 in any way affect the validity of Scudder's type-selection. 



The replacement specific name sinois Hubner, the name of the type-species of Talides, is the 

 oldest available name applicable to that species. 



TALITES Capronnier, 1874, Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. 17 : 20. Type-species by selection by Hem- 

 ming (1935, Stylops 4:2): Papilio meris Stoll, [1781], Uitl. Kapellen 4 (31) : 146, pi. 366, 

 figs B, C. 



The name Talites Capronnier is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Lasaia Bates, 



TAMELA Swinhoe, [1913], in Moore, Lep. ind. 10 (117) : 207. Type-species by original 

 designation : Nisoniades diocles Moore, [1866], Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1865 (3) : 787. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Nisoniades diocles Moore is currently treated 

 subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older- 

 established nominal species Hesperia nigrita Latreille, [1824] (Ency. me"th. 9 (Ins.) (2) : 788 

 [note at end of descr. of Hesperia philenor]).
