GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 429 



T AM ERA Moore, 1888, Descr. new Ind. Lep. Coll. Atkinson (3) : 284. Type-species by- 

 original designation : Papilio castor Westwood, 1842, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. 9 : 37. 



TAMYRIS Swainson, [March 1821], Zool. Illustr. (1) 1 (6) : pi. 33. Type-species by mono- 

 typy : Hesperia zeleucus Fabricius, 1793, Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 346. 



Swainson published the name Tamyris a second time in August of the same year in Part II 

 on plate 61 of the same volume. 



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

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

 older-established nominal species Papilio phidias Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 485). 



TANAECIA Butler, [1869], Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1868 (3) : 610. Type-species by original 

 designation : Adolias pulasara Moore, 1857, in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East 

 India Coy (1) : 190. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Adolias pulsara Moore is currently treated sub- 

 jectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-established 

 nominal species Papilio pelea Fabricius, 1787 (Mantissa Ins. 2 : 53). 



TANAOPTERA Billberg, 1820, Enum. Ins. Mus. Billb. : 79. Type-species by selection by 

 Hemming (1933, Entolmogist 66 : 199) : Papilio europa Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 500. 



The name Tanaoptera Billberg is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Lethe 

 1 liibner, [1819]. 



TANNETH E I RA Sharp, j 1892!,/)) Zool. Rec. 28 (year 1891) (Ins.) : 205 (an Incorrect Subsequent 

 Spelling of Tanuetheira Druce, 1891). 



TANSIMA Moore, 1881, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. 1881 : 305. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Lethe satyrina Butler, 1871, Trans, ent. Soc. Loud. 1871 : 402. 



TANUETHEIRA Druce, 1891, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (6) 8 : 148. Type-species by original 

 designation : Papilio timon Fabricius, 1787, Mantissa Ins. 2 : 65. 



TANYPTERA Mabille, 1877, Bull. Soc. zool. Er. 2 : 230. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Hesperia laufella Hewitson, [1868J, ///. e.xot. litttts 4 : ] iioj, pi, 58, figs 28, 29, 30. 



The name Tanyptera Mabille is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Tanyptera Latreille, 

 1804 (Nouv. Diet. Hist. nat. 24 (Tab.) : 188) the name of a genus of Diptera. It has been 

 replaced by the name Pteroteinon Watson, 1893. 



TAPENA Moore, [1881], Lep. Ceylon 1 (4) : 181. Type-species by original designation : 

 Tapena thwaitesi Moore, [1881], ibid. 1 (4) : 181, pi. 67, figs. 2, 2a. 



TAPINA Billberg, 1820, Enum. Ins. Mus. Billberg. : 81. Type-species through Section (i) 

 (replacement names) of Article 57 : Hesperia ovidius Fabricius, 1793, Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 320. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Hesperia ovidius Fabricius is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Papilio cereus Linnaeus, 1767 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : Errata), a 

 nominal species established as a replacement of Papilio caeneus Linnaeus, 1767, ibid. 1 (2) : 

 796, a nominal species bearing a name which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy). 



The name Tapina Billberg was introduced quite unnecessarily as a replacement of the name 

 Emesis Fabricius, 1807, to which it falls as a junior objective synonym. 



TARACA Seitz, [1909], Grossschmett. Erde 1 : 323 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of Taraka 

 de Niceville, 1890). 



TARACTROCERA Butler, 1869, Cat. diurn. Lep. Fabricius Brit. Mus. : 2jq. Type-species by 

 monotypy : Hesperia maevius Fabricius, 1793, Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 352. 



TARAKA de Niceville, 1890, Butts India Burmah Ceylon 3 : 15, 57. Type-species by original
