Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Ethelida was published by Westwood in the synonymy of Zeonia Swainson, where it was said to be a manuscript name of Boisduval's. Under Article II (d) of the present revised Code names published in synonymies do not acquire the status of availability through being so published. The name Ethelida Westwood is therefore invalid. At a time when the Code contained no provision relating to the status of a name published in the foregoing fashion it appeared to me to be desirable to dispose of the name Ethelida by selecting as its type-species the nominal species Zeonia heliconides Swainson, 1833, the type-species of the genus Zeonia Swainson, and this I did in 1941. Thus, even if the name Ethelida Westwood had not been published in a synonymy, it would have been invalid as being a junior objective synonym of Zeonia Westwood, 1833. Cowan (1970: 46) stated:- "last line - Westwood to read - Swainson". Cowan (1970: 27) stated:- "ETHELIDA" Westwood, [1851] : 431. Not available. Introduced as "Boisd. ms." in the synonymy of Zeonia Swainson, with four included species. No further mention. Never subsequently raised from synonymy. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
