Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- This generic name is a nomen nudum and accordingly possesses no status in zoological nomenclature. It is included here, only because references to it have occasionally been made in the literature. The history of this name is as set out below. The name Eurylais in the combination Eurylais daphnis was included in a list of names stated to have been attached to specimens taken by Lorquin in the Philippines and exhibited at a meeting of the Entomological Society of France held on 23rd October 1861 ; it was stated in this report that these names would be included in a forthcoming paper of Boisduval's in the Annals of the Society. This expectation was not realized and these names never acquired status in zoological nomenclature. In 1886 (Reis. Philipp. 5 (Schmett. Philipp.), Ins., Rhop. 1 : 7 nota 1) Semper discussed the question of the identity of the taxon which Boisduval had intended to name Eurylais daphnis, and concluded that it was that to which in 1861 (Wien. ent. Monats. 5 : 300) Felder (C.) had given the name Danais anapis, which later became the type-species of Aianthis Fruhstorfer, [1910]. It may reasonably be inferred that Boisduval realized that the taxon Danais anapis named by Felder in the same year as that in which he had exhibited Lorquin's collection from the Phillippines was the same as that which, at the time when he made that exhibit, he intended to call by the name Eurylais daphnis and that it was for this reason that he abandoned his plan to publish that binomen. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
