Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- An Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of Jasia Swainson, 1832). Westwood cited what he called "Iasius Swainson" in the synonymy of what he called Nymphalis Latreille, a genus which, as recognized by Westwood, contained inter aria, the nominal species Papilio jason Linnaeus, a taxon bearing an invalid name and later renamed Papilio jasius by Linnaeus. This latter nominal species is the type-species of Jasia Swainson. In these circumstances there can be no doubt that the word "Iasius" written by Westwood is an accidental misspelling of the name Jasia and therefore that Iasius Westwood, [1850], should be regarded as an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of Jasia Swainson, 1832. Cowan (1970: 27) stated:- "IASIUS" Westwood, [18S0] : 306. Not available. Introduced as "Iasius Swainson" in synonymy under Nymphalis but, as both Westwood himself and Hemming, 1967 : 228-229 make clear, an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of Jasia Swainson, 1832. Has never since been treated as available as of Westwood, 1850. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
