Schmett. p. 16 (1816). 1 Hiibner's first species of Anosia (archippus, Cram. pl. 16. f. a, b) is congeneric with the species of his genus Callianira (Hiibn. Verz. p. 38); and his second species {misippus, Linn.) is referable to his genus Esoptria (Hiibn. p. 45), both of which species were placed in the genus Anosia by Hiibner, owing'to their resemblance to the others. The consequent exclusion of these two species from the genus thus necessarily limits it to the remainder; his third species (menippe) therefore becomes the type. Hiibner's o w n action, in subsequently using the generic name for a conspecific insect, fixes this third-cited species as the type. |
