Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio genutia Fabricius is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the nominal species Mancipium midea Hübner, [1809] (Samml. exot. Schmett. 1 : pl. [142], figs 1, 2 - male, 3, 4 - female), and, as the older name Papilio genutia Fabricius is invalid by reason of being a junior homonym of Papilio genutia Cramer, [1779] (Uitl. Kapellen 3 (18) : 24), it is by the specific name midea Hübner that this species is currently known. The generic name Midea Herrich-Schaeffer is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Midea Bruzelius, [1855] (Beskr. Hydrachn. : 35) and also of Midea Walker, (List Spec. Lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. 27 : 21). It has been replaced by the name Falcapica Klots, 1930. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
