| Memo: | Cowan (1970: 54) stated:- PRECIS - has precedence over Alcioneis but after Junonia (q.v.). Cowan (1970: 41) stated:- ALCYONEIS and Junonia Hübner, [1819] : 35 and 34, are generally regarded as congeneric. Precedence was accorded to Junonia by Doubleday, 1849 (Gen. diurn. Lep. 1 : 206), acting as First Reviser. Cowan (1970, Annot.. Rhop.: 49) stated:- JUNONIA - The name Papilio lavinia Cramer, 1775 is invalid as a junior primary homonym of P. lavinia Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Ent. : 450, a name currently placed in the genus Victorina. The oldest valid name subjectively applicable to the present restricted species appears to be P. evarete Cramer, [1779], Uitl. Kap. 3 : 18, pl. 203, figs. C, D. However, the wider view was put by Corbet, 1948 (Entomologist 81 : 54-56), that lavinia, evarete and others are subspecies of the pan-tropical Papilio orithya Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 473. As has been noted under Alcyoneis above, and Precis below, Junonia has precedence over both. Precis Hübner, was brought out of synonymy by Tilden, 1973, Journal Res. Lepid. 12 (4) : 216. [Treated as a valid genus by Hemming, 1967]. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
