Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio marius Cramer is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as representing the same taxon as that represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio chiron Fabricius, 1775 (Syst. Ent. : 452). An entirely different species belonging to the family Lycaenidae was given the same name in 1775; this was Papilio chiron Rottemburg, 1775 (Der Naturforscher 6 : 27). The specific name chiron of Fabricius, which applies to a Nymphalid species takes precedence over Rottemburg's (Lycaenid) name chiron under the provisions of Opinion 556 (1958, Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 19 : 1-44) in which the Commission gave directions under its Plenary Powers as to the precedence to be accorded to names publidhed by various authors in the year 1775, one of the directions so given being that the Systema Entomologiae of Fabricius was to be accorded precedence over the paper published by Rottemburg in Der Naturforscher in the same year. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
