Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Futuronerva and Futuronerva absurda, together with the associated family name Futuronervidae, represent one of the most extraordinary episodes in the nomenclature of the butterflies, for, as observed by Klots in 1933 (Ent. amer., Brooklyn (n.s.) 12 (3) : 153), the type-species of the nominal species Futuronervea absurda, the foundation on which the whole of this ridiculous systematic edifice rests, is no more than a teratological female specimen with deformed venation belonging to the common Palaearctic Pierid Papilio crataegi Linnaeus, 1758, the type-species of the genus Aporia Hübner, [1819]. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
