Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- It will be observed that in the text published six months after the plate (pl. 91) on which the new species Lasaia chama had been figured, Staudinger had changed his mind as to the generic affinities of that species and had decided to remove it from the genus Lasaia Bates, in which it had been placed when it was first figured, and to place it in a new genus. He explained that Dr. Hahnel, from whom he had received the type material, had suggested that this species should be removed from Lasaia Bates and placed in a new genus for which he had proposed the name Amphiselenis in manuscript. Staudinger, as shown above, thereupon published the name Amphiselenis, but he appears not to have been completely convinced as to its necessity. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America.
