| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Moore's type-selection for this genus was overlooked until attention was drawn to it by Higgins in 1955 (Trans. R. ent. Soc. Lond. 106 : 4). Up till then it had been assumed that through the selection by Barnes & McDunnough in 1916 (Contrib. nat. Hist. Lepid. N. Amer. 3 (2) : 83) the type-species was Papilio cinxia Linnaeus, 1758 ; the name Mellicta Billberg was in consequence erroneously treated during that period as a junior objective synonym of Melitaea Fabricius, 1807. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
