Lepid. Ind. 4(48): 243-244. Type-species: Papilio pales [Schiffermüller], 1775, Ankündung eines syst. Werkes Schmett. Wiener Gegend: 177, no. 8, by original designation. The genus-level synonymy adopted herein is derived from Grey (1989), J. Lepid. Soc. 43(1): 2, Aubert et al. (1996), C. R. Acad. Sci. (Ser. 3) Sci. Vie 319(7): 647-651, and Simonsen (2005), Syst. Entomol. 30(4): 653-665.

            =    aphirape (Hübner, [1800])

Boloria eunomia caelestis (Hemming, 1933)

Entomol. 66(847): 275, no. 5.

Original Combination: Argynnis aphirape caelestis

Proposed to replace Brenthis aphirape alticola W. Barnes and McDunnough, 1913, preoccupied, with the same data (Code Article 60.3).

                         =    ‡alticola (W. Barnes & McDunnough, 1913)

Contr. Nat. Hist. Lepid. N. Am. 2(3): 97-98.

Original Combination: [Brenthis] aphirape alticola

Type Locality: “Hall Valley, Colo.” [Park County, Colorado]

Types: Syntypes in USNM.

Preoccupied by Argynnis alticola Sushkin & Tsetverikov, 1907, Horae Soc. Entomol. Ross. 38(1): 18. Currently this name is employed for a subspecies of Boloria (Clossiana) angarensis Ershov, 1870. Even if Proclossiana and Clossiana are considered separate genera from Boloria, this name is no longer valid, since a replacement name was proposed before 1961, and that name has generally been used (Code Article 59.3).
