Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- This name was introduced by Mabille when dealing with the generic name Ocybadistes Heron, 1894, in the synonymy of which he placed it as "Arrhenes Mabille, in litt." As shown below in the note on the name Arrhenes Evans, numerous attempts were later made to employ this generic name for Pamphila marnas, one of the species cited by Mabille in 1904 for Ocybadistes (=Arrhenes Mabille in litt.) in the ensuing period when it was still believed that a name published in a synonymy acquired the status of availability thereby. All these were seen to be invalid when a provision was inserted in the revised Code ruling that a name published in the foregoing manner (Article II (d)) was not thereby made available. Under this provision the name Arrhenes Mabille, 1904, possesses no status in zoological nomenclature. Cowan (1970: 24) stated:- The code 1961 - Article 11 (d), Names published in synonymy - A good example of the "before and after" 1963 situation can be seen in the treatment by Hemming of the two names Arrhenes Mabille, 1904 and Arrhenes Evans, 1934. Under the 1961 Code followed by Hemming the latter only was available; under the 1964 edition the former is. Cowan (1970: 29) stated:- ARRHENES Mabille, 1904 (in Wytsman), Gen. Ins. (17b) : 142. Type-species by selection by Evans, 1934 (Entomologist 67 : 206) : Pamphila marnas Felder, 1860, SitzB. Akad. Wiss. Wien. 40 : 462. Introduced by Mabille in the synonymy of Ocybadistes Heron, 1894. Treated as available and adopted as a generic name as of Mabille, 1904 by Evans, 1934, this name is fully available and valid. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
