| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Mesosemia philoclessa Hübner was introduced as a replacement for the name Papilio philocles Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 483). This action of Hübner's was quite uncalled-for ; the name philoclessa Hübner is objectively invalid, and the name philocles Linnaeus is the valid name for this species. MESOSEMIA was included within the subfamily LYCAENIDAE: RIODININAE by Ackery et al., in Kristensen (1999). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
