Hemming (1967) stated:-
The taxon represented by the nominal species Thecla smilacis is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as a form of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Lycus gryness Hübner, [1819] (Verz. bekannt. Schmett. (5) : 74), a taxon bearing a name introduced as a replacement for Papilio damon Stoll, [1782] (in Cramer, Uitl. Kapellen 4 (33) : 208, pl. 390, figs C, D), a name invalid as a junior homonym of Papilio damon [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775 (Ankündung [sic] eines syst. Werkes Schmett. Wiener Gegend : 182).
On the page of Scudder's paper cited above (: 52) this name appeared in the spelling "Mitouri", but on the last page of the paper this was corrected to "Mitoura" in an "Errata" slip prepared by F. W. Putnam, who at that time was Director of the Peabody Academy. In this note Putnam explained that Scudder had been unable to correct the proofs of his paper and that it was for this reason that in the main text the misspelling "Mitouri" had been overlooked.
Cowan (1970: 16) stated:-
Papers are now in press (J. Soc. Biblphy. nat. Hist.) on the two well-known European works, the Icones hist. Lep. by Boisduval and the Collection des Chenilles by Boisduval, Rambur, D. M., and Graslin. Although the collations were approximately known, the exact details have been worked out. All citations by Hemming are correctly dated.
However, the other serial work, Boisduval & Le Conte, 1829-37, Hist. gen. Iconogr. Lép. Amér. sept., was ill-documented. A study has been made of all the contemporary periodicals and records to establish satisfactory data, and the results appear in J. Soc. Biblphy. nat. Hist. 5 (2) : 125-134.
Corrigenda; "Leconte" should read Le Conte in all cases.
Where a date is given, this also applies. Names in brackets are ones where the citation occurs in the discussion; only four generic names themselves are affected.
AGANISTHOS [1835], (CELTIPHAGA) [1837], AGRAULIS [1835], (EPIDEMIA) [l835], (ASTEROCAMPA) [1835], (EUPSYCHE) [1835], (ATRYTONE) [1837], (HEDONE) [1837], CALLIDRYAS, (MEGATHYMUS) [1835], (MITOURA) [1835], (NYMPHIDIA) [1835], (RHABDOIDES) , RHODOCERA, XANTHIDA [1830]".
[Therefore the type-species year was changed from [1833] (in Hemming, 1967, p.295) to [1835]].
The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
