Aglias and Homonomy

[Eric or Pat Metzler]

Chris,

You must have mispoken, and I suggest your message creates some
comfusion.  

As Doug pointed out homonomy of genera does apply across orders in the
"amimal kingdom" and homonomy of species applies within each genus. 
Homonomy of species means you cannot have two species with the same
epithet in the same genus.  Homonomy of species is not an issue related
to families.

Cheers to all,
