| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Limnas Boisduval is invalid as a junior homonym of Limnas Hübner, [1806] (of the samml. exot. Schmett.), a name which, though suppressed by the Commission under the Plenary Powers for the purposes of the Law of Priority, was (as explained in the note given above on that name) kept alive for the purposes of the Law of Homonymy. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
