| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- There has been considerable discussion as to the identity of the taxon represented by the nominal species Prestonia clarki Schaus. Brown (1929, Amer. Mus. Novit. No. 368 : 13) and later Klots (1933, Ent. amer. (n.s.) 12 (3) : 152, 181) took the view that the type-specimen of this nominal species is an individual form of the taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio argante Fabricius, 1775 ; under this view the name Prestonia became a junior subjective synonym of Phoebis Hübner, [1819]. Later in 1933 however Brown published a further paper (Amer. Mus. Novit. No. 653 : 5), in which he stated that he had now been enabled to study the type-specimen of Prestonia clarki and had formed the conclusion that that nominal species represented a taxonomically distinct species and further that he was now of the opinion that Prestonia was a taxonomically valid genus. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America. | |
