1920's Scientific Names Needed

[Kenelm Philip]

	Charles Ellenbrook inquired about some older scientific names for
butterflies. I suspect that some of these also got misspelled somewhere
along the way. Here are my suggestions for current names:

1.  Pyrameis atalanta		= Vanessa atalanta (Red Admiral)
2.  Pyrameis coidui    		= Vanessa cardui (Painted Lady)
3.  Sycaena honno		= Hemiargus ceraunus (Ceraunus Blue) *
4.  Gropta interogationis	= Polygonia interrogationis (Question Mark)
5.  Hesperia tessellata		= Pyrgus communis (Common Checkered-Skipper)
6.  Popilio osterias or asterias= Papilio polyxenes asterias (Black Swallow-
                                       tail)

* This is a bit confused. 'Sycionia' is a misspelling by Huebner (1826)
of 'Sicyonia' (Huebner 1816)--and refers to the genus Heliconius. On the
other hand, there was a reference in the Dyar List (1902) to Hemiargus
hanno,
now known as Hemiargus ceraunus (Ceraunus Blue). My guess is that 'Sycaena'
is a misspelling for Lycaena, rather than being a variant of 'Sicyonia',
and then 'honno' is another misspelling for 'hanno'.
