(incorrectly) in volume 5 (American Fauna) of the same work for the genus formed}' so known, 

 to which the name Manataria Kirby was properly applicable. 



TITHOREA Doubleday, [June 1847], Gen. dium. Lep. (1) : pi. 14, figs 1, 2. Type-species 

 by selection by Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 285) : Heliconia 

 megara Godart, [1819], Ency. meth. 9 (Ins.) (1) : 223. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Heliconia megara Godart is currently treated 

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

 older-established nominal species Papilio harmonia Cramer, [1777], Uitl. Kapellen 2 : 142, pi. 

 190, fig. D. 



Doubleday figured two nominal species as belonging to his genus Tithorea on his plate 14, 

 published in June 1847 ; these were Helicona [sic] bonplandii Guerin, [1844], shown as fig. 1, 

 and Heliconia megara Godart, [1819], shown as fig. 2. These were the only species eligible for 

 selection as type-species because the text (loc. cit. (1) : 99), in which he added four more species 

 belonging to this genus was not published until August 1847. In this particular case the 

 difference in the dates of publication of the plate and text concerned is of academic interest 

 only, for the species first selected as type-species was figured on the plate and listed also in 

 the subsequent text. 



The method by which Scudder selected the type-species of this genus was identical with that 

 by which, as already explained, he selected the type-species of Tisiphone Hiibner. Kirby in 

 1871 (Syn. Cat. dium. Lep. : 35) identified the nominal species Heliconia megara Godart, one 

 of Hiibner's originally included species, with the nominal species Papilio harmonia Cramer, a 

 species not cited by Hiibner as belonging to the present genus. Scudder in 1875 followed the 

 same procedure and indicated that, in his view, Papilio harmonia was the type-species. 

 Under Article 69 (a) (iv) Scudder's action ranks as a valid selection of Heliconia megara as the 

 type-species of this genus, while under Section (a) (iii) of the same Article the fact that Scudder 

 erroneously believed that the above species was already the type-species through the action 

 of Bates in 1862 does not detract from the fact that on this occasion a type-selection for this 

 genus was validly made by Scudder. 



TMETOCERUS Poujade, 1895, Ann. Soc. ent. Fr. 64, Bull, xx : cxliv (type-species by 



monotypy : Eudamus asander Hewitson, 1867, Descr. One Hundred new Spec. Hesp. (1) : 9). 



The name Tmetocerus Poujade is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Tmetocerns Hartert, 



1891 (Kat. Vogelsamml. Mus. Senckenberg : 141), an Emendation of Tmetoceros Cabanis, 1847 



(Class Aves). 



TMETOGLENE Felder (C.) & Felder (R.), 1862, Wien. ent. Monats. 6 : 235. Type-species 

 through Section (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Brachyglenis esthema Felder (C.) 

 & Felder (R.), March 1862, ibid. 6 : 73. 



The name Tmetoglene was published in July 1862 as a replacement of the name Brachyglenis 

 published in the same serial in March of that year. This substitution was made because the 

 two Felders erroneously believed that the name Brachyglenis was invalid under the Law of 

 Homonymy. The older name those authors had in mind was Brachyglene Herrich-Schaeffer, 

 [1856] (Samml. aussereurop. Schmett. Het. : 19, 20), the name of a genus of moths. Under the 

 present revised Code (Article 56(a)) these names are not homonyms of one another. Accord- 

 ingly, the name Brachyglenis of March 1862 is an available name and its replacement Tmeto- 

 glene of July 1862 is invalid as a junior objective synonym. 



TMOLUS Hiibner, [1819], Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (5) : 76. Type-species by selection by 

 Scudder (1875, Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 285) : Papilio echion Linnaeus, 

 1767, Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 788. 



TOMARES Hiibner, 1840, Faune ent. Andal. 2 : 261. Type-species by monotypy : Papilio 

 ballus Fabricius, 1787, Mantissa Ins. 2 : 80. 



The genus here in question was formerly incorrectly known by the name Thestor Hiibner, 

 [1819] as the result of an invalid type-selection made for that genus.
