GENERIC NAMES OF BUTTERFLIES 453 



UNUNCULA van Eecke, 1915, Zool. Meded., Leiden 1 : 29. Type-species by selection by 

 Hemming (1929, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (10) 3 : 243) : Papilio argiades Pallas, 1771, Reise 

 verschied. Prov. Russisch. Reicks 1 : 472. 



UPOLAMPES Bcthune-Baker, 1908, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1908 : 118. Type-species by 

 original designation : Upolampes striata Bethune-Baker, 1908, ibid. 1908 : 118, pi. 9, 



fig- L5- 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Upolampes striata Bethune-Baker is currently 

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

 established nominal species Lycaena evena Hewitson, [1876] (///. exot. Butts 5 : [87], pi. [46], 

 figs 2, 3). 



URANEIS Bates, [1868], /. linn. Soc. Lond., Zool. 9 : 411. Type-species by monotypy : 

 Tharops hyalina Butler, 1867, ibid., Zool. 9 : 225, pi. 6, fig. 26. 



URANIA Fabricius, 1807, Mag. f. Insektenk. (Illiger) 6 : 279. Type-species by selection by 

 l.atreille (1810, Consid. gin. Anim. Crust. Arachn. Ins. : 440, 356) : Papilio leilus Linnaeus, 

 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 462. 



Linnaeus, when establishing the nominal species Papilio leilus, believed that he was dealing 

 \\ ith a butterfly but in this he was mistaken, for, as is now well understood, the species is in 

 fact a moth. Fabricius, when establishing the genus Urania was under a similar miscon- 

 ception. In 1954 this generic name was placed by the Commission (in its Opinion 232) on 

 the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology as Name No, 633. 



URANOBOTHRIA Toxopeus, 1027, Tijdschr. Ent. 70 : 261. Type-species by original 

 designation : Lycaenopsis celebica Fruhstorfer, 1917, Arch. Naturgesch. 82 (A.i) : 40. 



URANOPS Hemming, 1929, Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (10) 3 : 243. Type-species by original 

 designation : Papilio coridon Poda, 1761, Ins. Mus. graec. : 77. 



The name Uranops Hemming is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Uranops Fitzinger, 

 1843 [Syst. Rept. : 25). It has been replaced by the name Lysandra Hemming, 1933. 



URANOTES Scudder, 1876, Bull. Buffalo Soc. nat. Sci. 3 : 107. Type-species through Section 

 (i) (replacement names) of Article 67 : Strymon melinus Hiibner, 1818, Zutr. z. Samml. exot. 

 Schmett. 1 : 22, pi. [21], figs 121, 122. 



Scudder introduced the name Uranotes as a replacement for the name Callipareus Scudder, 

 1872, which he erroneously believed to be invalid under the Law of Homonymy. The name 

 Uranotes Scudder is therefore invalid as a junior objective synonym of Callipareus Scudder. 

 Further, Callipareus Scudder is itself a junior objective synonym of Strymon Hiibner, 1818. 

 Accordingly, Uranotes is a junior objective synonym of both of the above names. 



URANOTHAUMA Butler, 1895, Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. 1895 : 631. Type-species by original 

 designation : Uranothauma crawshayi Butler, 1895, ibid. 1895 : 631, pi. 35, figs 6 q", 7 ?• 



URBANUS Hiibner, [1806], Tentamen : [1]. Type-species by monotypy : Papilio malvae 

 Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 485. 



The name Urbanus Hiibner, as of the Tentamen, is invalid, owing to the rejection by the 

 Commission in its Opinion 97 of the above leaflet for nomenclatorial purposes. In 1954 the 

 Commission in its Opinion 278 placed the above name on the Official Index of Rejected and 

 Invalid Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 86. 



If the name Urbanus Hiibner of the Tentamen had been an available name, it would — 

 according to current taxonomic ideas — have been a senior subjective synonym of, and would 

 therefore have replaced, the well-known name Pyrgus Hiibner, [1819]. 



URBANUS Hiibner, [1807], Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : pis [150], [151], [155], [159]- Type- 

 species by selection by Hemming (1933, Entomologist 66 : 200) : Papilio proteus Linnaeus, 

 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 484, figured by Hiibner on his pi. [155].
