Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Lemonias, as of the Tentamen, is invalid, because by the Ruling given by the Commission in Opinion 97 (1926, Smithson. miscell. Coll. 73 (No. 4) 19-30 ; republished in 1958, Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 1 (B) : 355-366) the leaflet in which it was published was rejected as being unavailable for the purposes of zoological nomenclature. This generic name has been placed on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 79. If the Tentamen had been a nomenclatorially acceptable work, the name Lemonias, as published in that work, would have been a genus of the family Nymphalidae and, according to current subjective taxonomic ideas a subjective senior synonym of Euphydryas Scudder, 1872. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
