Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Following an erroneous type-selection by Scudder in 1875 (Proc. amer. Acad. Arts Sci., Boston 10 : 262), Papilio cerialis Stoll was treated by many authors as being the type-species of the genus Pythomides Hübner, [1819], until in 1925 Lindsey pointed out that the true type-species of Pythonides was Papilio jovianus Stoll by selection by Butler in 1870. This correction of the type-species of Pythonides left Papilio cerialis Stoll without a generic name and it was to make good this deficiency that Linddsey introduced the name Quadrus. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America where it is treated in the Pyrrginae: Achlyodini.
