Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Erchia extranea Walker together with its generic name Erchia Walker, was (as explained in the note on that generic name) completely overlooked until recently. This was due mainly to the fact that Walker, the author of these names, and Kirby, the author of the replacement name Pseuderchia, erroneously believed that the taxon Erchia extranea was a moth, whereas it is in fact a Riodinid butterfly. It is now subjectively identified with the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Limnas barca Hewitson, [1853]. The name Pseuderchia was introduced as a replacement for Erchia Walker, 1854, which is invalid under the Law of Homonymy. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
