| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Papilio egina as applied to the present species by Cramer in 1777 is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Papilio egina Cramer, [1775] (Uitl. Kapellen 1 (4) : 64, pl. 39, figs F, G), a name bestowed upon an Acraeid species. The oldest available name subjectively applicable to the present Ithomiid species appears to be Papilio ludovica Cramer, [1780] (loc. cit. 4 (25) : 17, pl. 297, fig. E). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
