GENERIC NAMES OF Bl'TTERFLIES 463 



did not explain but which were certainly unconnected with the earlier use of that name by 

 Meigen, of the existence of which he was unaware. Under the decision taken by the Com- 

 mission in 1963, described above, Zelima Meigen, 1800, was totally suppressed, while Zelima 

 Fabricius was suppressed for priority but not for homonymy. Accordingly, the name Ailus 

 Billberg remains available for use of the Papilionid genus concerned.

The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio allica Fabricius is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Papilio flegyas Cramer, [1780] [Uitl. Kapellen 3 (24) : 158, pi. 

 280, figs E, F).

The taxon represented by the nominal species Hesperia abdon Plotz is currently treated 

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

 established nominal species Hesperia meda Hewitson, 1877 {Ann. Mag. nat. Hist. (4) 19 : 83). 



ZENIS Godman, [1900], in Godman & Salvin, Biol, centr.-amer., Lep. Rhop. 2 : 588. Type- 

 species recommended to the Commission for designation under Article 70(a) (misidentified 

 type-species) : Hesperia jebus Plotz, 1882, Stett. cut. Zt^ 43 : 443. 



Godman designated Hesperia minos Latreille, [1824] (Ency. mith. 9 (Ins.) (2) : 756) to be 

 the type-species of this genus. He gave a description of this species ( : 589) and on plate 102, 

 four figures as follows : — figs 24 and 25, representing the uppersidc and underside respectively 

 of a male, fig. 26, showing the venation of the forewing of a male, and fig. 27, the male 

 genitalia. Evans (1955, Cat. amer. Hesp. Brit. Mits. 4 : 40c), 410), who was assisted by being 

 able to examine the type-specimen of Hesperia iui)ios Latreille, pointed out that Godmans 

 description and all four of the figures which he gave refer not to that species but to Hesperia 

 jebus Plotz, 1882. The genus Zeuis Godman is thus based upon a misidentified type-species. 

 In order to rectify the position, the Commission is being asked to designate Hesperia jebus 

 Plot/, under Article 70(a) to be the type-species of this genus. In accordance with the 

 provisions of Article 80, that species is here treated in the interests of continuity of usage as 

 being the type-species of the present genus. 



ZENONIA Evans, 1935, Trans. R. ent. Soc. Lond. 83 (3) : 405. Type-species by original 

 designation : Pamphila zeno Trimen, 1864, Trans, ent. Soc. Lond. (3) 2 : 179. 



By some inadvertence — or possibly a printers' error — the specific name of the type-species 

 appeared in Evans' paper as zenonia and not as zeno. Trimen never published a name 

 Pamphila zenonia but, as shown above, he did publish Pamphila zeno. That Evans's use of 

 the word " zenonia " for the type-species was accidental is shown by the facts (a) that he 

 attributed it to " Trimen, 1864 ", the year in which the name Pamphila zeno was published 

 by Trimen, and (b) that immediately after the description of the genus Zenonia, he cited as 

 the only included species what he called " Zenonia zeno Trimen ". Two years later (1937, 

 Cat. african Hesp. Brit. Mus. : 174) Evans corrected the foregoing slip, stating explicitly 

 that the type-species of this genus was Pamphila zeno Trimen, 1864.
