Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The name Oreina Westwood is invalid, as it is a junior homonym of Oreina Chevrolet, 1835 (in Dejean, Cat. Coléopt. (ed. 2) (5) : 402.) The name of the type-species of this genus (Papilio cassiope Fabricius) is invalid because it is a junior homonym of the older name Papilio cassiope Cramer, [1775] (Uitl. Kapellen 1 (5) : 88). The taxon represented by the foregoing nominal species is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the nominal species Papilio aetherius Esper, [1805] (Die Schmett., Suppl. 1-4 Theils : pl. 122, figs 3 - male, 4 - female, no text). This taxon is accordingly currently known by the species-group name aetherius Esper, it is considered to be a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio epiphron Knoch, 1783 (Beitr. Insektengesch. 3 : 131, pl. 6, fig. 7 - female). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
