Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Up till the year 1946 the name Radena Moore was invalid as being a junior objective synonym of Euploea Fabricius, 1807, of which also Papilio similis Linnaeus was the type-species. In that year the Commission used its Plenary Powers to set aside the designation (by Scudder, 1875) of the above species as the type-species of Euploea Fabricius, that species never having been used in that sense. By this Ruling, which was given in the Commission's Opinion 163 (Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 2 : 335-346), Radena Moore ceased to be a junior objective synonym of Euplosa Fabricius and became a nomenclatorially available name. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
