THAN A US Kirby, 1897, in Allen's Nat. Libr., Lepid. 3: 12 (an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of 

 Thanaos Boisduval, [1834]). 



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

 Athyma jina Moore, 1857, in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East India Coy (1) : 172, 



pl- 5- n g- 3- 



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

 a generic diagnosis. Later in the same year, in the immediately following Part (Part 33), he 

 made good this deficiency (: 180). 



THARGELLA Godman, [1900], in Godman & Salvin, Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 564. 

 Type-species by monotypy : Thargella fuliginosa Godman, [1900], in Godman & Salvin, 

 ibid., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 565, pl. 100, figs 24, 25 q*- 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Thargella fuliginosa Godman is currently 

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

 established nominal species Hesperia caura Plotz, 1882 (Stett. ent. Ztg 43 : 315). 



THAROPS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (7) : 109. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 279) : Papilio menander Stoll, [1780], 

 in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (28) : 86, pl. 334, figs C, D. 



The name Tharops Hiibner is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Tharops Rafinesque, 1815 

 {Analyse Nature : 119). It has been replaced by the name Menander Hemming, 1939. 



THARSALEA Scudder, 1876, Bull. Buffalo Soc. nat. Sci. 3 : 125. Type-species by original 

 designation : Polyommatus arota Boisduval, 1852, Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. (2) 10 : 293. 



THAUMAINA Bethune-Baker, 1908, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1908 (1) : 116. Type-species by 

 original designation : Thaumaina uranothauma Bethune-Baker, 1908, ibid. 1908 (1) : 116, 

 pl. 9, figs 8, 9. 



THAUMANTIAS Kirby, 1894, in Allen's Nat. Libr., Lepid. 1 : 197 (an Incorrect Subsequent 

 Spelling of Thaumantis Hiibner, [1826]). 



THAUMANTIS Hiibner, [1826], Samml. exot. Schmett. 2 : pl. [61]. Type-species by mono- 

 typy : Thaumantis oda Hiibner, [1826], ibid. 2 : pl. [61]. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Thaumantis oda Hiibner is currently treated 

 subjectively as being the same as that represented by the slightly older-established nominal 

 species Morpho odana Godart, [1826] (Ency. mith. 9 (Ins.) (2) : 445). It seems difficult to 

 believe that two authors within a period of two years could have devised two such similar 

 names for the same taxonomic unit. There is unfortunately no text to this portion of Hiibner's 

 Sammlung and it is necessary therefore to treat oda Hiibner as a new name in its own right. 

 The likelihood is however that, if such a text existed, it would show that oda Hiibner is no 

 more than an emendation of the earlier odana Godart. 



THAURIA Moore, [1894], Lep. ind. 2 (19) : 173. Type-species by subsequent designation by 

 Moore ([1895], loc. cit. 2 (20) : 186 : Thaumantis aliris Westwood, [1858], Trans, ent. Soc. 

 Lond. (2) 4 (6) : 176. 



This genus was established in a generic key with a brief diagnosis but with no cited included 

 species. It was not until the following year (loc. cit. 2 (20) : 185-186) that Moore provided a 

 detailed description and designated a type-species. 



THEAGENES Godman & Salvin, [1896], Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 428. Type-species 

 through Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Antigonus aegides Herrich-Schaeffer 

 1869, CorrespBl. zool.-min. Ver. Regensburg 23 : 135 [repaged offprint as Prodromus . . 3 : 49]. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Antigonus aegides Herrich-Schaeffer is 

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

 by the older-established nominal species Helias albiplaga Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), [1867], 

 (Reise Fregatte " Novara ", Lep. Rhop. (3) : 531, pl. 73, figs 18, 19). 



The name Theagenes was introduced by Godman & Salvin as a replacement for the name
