| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- As published by Stichel, this name had the appearance of having been introduced as the name for a subgenus of Amathusia Fabricius, 1807 ; Stichel had, however, the peculiar habit of applying to groups of species within a given genus Latin words in the nominative plural. It is possible therefore that Ategana, despite its appearance of being a Latinized word in the nominative singular - and therefore a subgeneric name - may have been intended by Stichel to be a group-term in the neuter nominative plural not a genus-group name at all. Ategana Stichel - if it is a genus-group name - is a junior objective synonym of Amathusia Fabricius, of which also Papilio phidippus Linnaeus is the type-species. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
