VEHILIUS Godman, [1900], in Godman & Salvin, Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 570. 

 Type-species by original designation : Cobalus illudens Mabille, 1891, Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. 

 35, Bull. C.R. : lxxxiii. 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Cobalus illudens Mabille is currently treated 

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

 older-established nominal species Pamphila stictomenes Butler, 1877 {Trans, ent. Soc. Lond 

 1877 : 153). 



VELADYRIS Fox, 1945, Amer. Mus. Novit. No. 1295 : 9-10, fig. 9 (venation, 3 figs), fig. 10 

 (o* genit.). Type-species by original designation : Ithomia pardalis Salvin, 1869, Ann. 

 Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 4 : 165. 



VELAMYSTA Haensch, [1909], in Seitz, Grossschmelt. Erde 5 : 158. Type-species by selection 

 by Bryk (1937, Lep. Cat. 80 : 613) : Ithomia cruxifera [sic] Hewitson, 1877, Equat. Lepid. 

 Buckley : 84. 



VENADA Evans, 1952, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 2 : 41, 128. Type-species by original 

 designation : Telegonus advena Mabille, 1889, Le Naturaliste (2) 3 : 59. 



VENAS Evans, 1955, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 86, 113. Type-species by original 

 designation : Pamphila evansi (correction of evans) Butler, 1877, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond 

 1877 : 153. 



The unlatinized modern patronymic " evans " employed by Butler as the specific name of 

 the type-species is subject to automatic correction to the Latinized genitive " evansi " under 

 Article 31(a) of the Code and is here so corrected. 



VERTICA Evans, 1955, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 205, 217. Type-species by original 

 designation : Hesperia verticalis Plotz, 1883, Stett. ent. Ztg 44 : 50. 



VETTIUS Godman, [1901], in Godman & Salvin, Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 589. 

 Type-species by original designation : Papilio phyllus Cramer, [1777], Uitl. Kapellen 

 2 (15) : 122, pi. 176, figs B, C. 



VICTORINA Blanchard, 1840, Hist. nat. Ins. 3 : 447. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio stelenes Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 465. 



The specific name of the type-species of this genus is often misspelt steneles. 



VIDIUS Evans, 1955, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mus. 4 : 87, 121. Type-species by original 

 designation : Narga vidius Mabille, 1891, Ann. Soc. ent. Belg. 35, Bull. C.R. : Ixx. 



VILA Kirby, 1871, Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep. : 217. Type-species through Section (i) of Article 

 67 : Olina azeca Doubleday, [Nov. 1848], Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : pi. 31, fig. 3 [text by West- 

 wood (loc. cit. (2) : 408) published in July 1851]. 



The name Vila was introduced as a replacement for Olina Doubleday, [1848], which is 

 invalid under the Law of Homonymy. 



VINDULA Hemming, 1934, Entomologist 67 : 77. Type-species by original designation : 

 Papilio arsinoe Cramer, [1777], Uitl. Kapellen 2 (14) : 100, pi. 160, figs B, C. 



Up to the year 1934 this genus was without a name, owing to the fact that it had long 

 been known by the name Cynthia Fabricius, 1807, owing to the erroneous action by Scudder 

 in 1875 (Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 152) in seeking to set up Papilio arsinoe 

 Cramer as the type-species of that genus. The true type-species of Cynthia is, by selection 

 by Westwood, [1840], the very different species Papilio cardui Linnaeus, 1758. This species 

 is closely allied to Papilio atalanta Linnaeus, 1758, the type-species of Vanessa Fabricius, 1807. 



VINIUS Godman, [1900], in Godman & Salvin, [1900], Biol, centr. amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 580. 

 Type-species by selection by Lindsey (1925, Ann. ent. Soc. Amer. 18 : 105) : Vinius arignote 

 Godman, [1900], in Godman & Salvin, ibid., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 580 nota, pi. 101, figs 38-41 o*- 



The taxon represented by the nominal species Vinius arignote Godman is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Hesperia exilis Plotz, 1883, [Stett. ent. Ztg 44 : 333).
