Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Hemerocharis Boisduval was published in the synonymy of Leptalis Dalman as a manuscript name which he (Boisduval) had formerly proposed for Dalman's genus. At a time when there were no provisions regulating the status of names published in synonymies I selected (in 1934) Papilio (Leptalis) astynome Dalman as the type-species, thus making Hemerocharis Boisduval a junior objective synonym of Leptalis Dalman. The problem here in question has been dealt with expressly in the revised Code of 1961 which provides (Article II (d)) that a name published in a synonymy acquires no status in zoological nomenclature thereby. Cowan (1970: 29) stated:- HEMEROCHARIS Boisduval, 1836 (in Roret, Suite à Buffon) Hist. nat. Ins., Spec. gén. Lép. 1 : 412. Not available. Introduced by Boisduval in the synonymy of Leptalis Dalman, as a rejected ms. name of his own, this has never been raised out of synonymy. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
