Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Hallelesis was first published by Condamin in 1960 (loc. cit. (A) 22 : 1256) but, as then published, this name was invalid, for, although a generic diagnosis was provided, no type-species was designated. This defect was remedied by Condamin when (as shown above) he republished this name with Mycalesis asochis Hewitson designated as type-species. (It may perhaps be useful to note that in the Insecta portion (: 274) of the volume (vol. 97) of the Zoological Record for 1960 the nominal species Papilio halyma Fabricius, 1793 (Ent. syst. 3 (1) : 243) was stated to the type-species in the entry relating to this genus as introduced in Condamin's paper of 1960. It is not clear whether the compiler of this entry was consciously making good the omission in Condamin's paper or whether the citation of this species as the type-species was due to some inadvertence. This matter is however of no consequence, for the portion of the Zoological Record concerned was not published until August 1962, by which time shown above) Condamin himself had designated Mycalesis asochis as the type-species). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
