Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Papilio alsus [Denis & Schiffermüller], 1775, is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the nominal species Papilio minimus Fuessly, 1775 (Verz. bekannt. schweizerisch. Ins. : 31). Until recently there existed no means by which to determine the relative precedence to be accorded to these two names, each published in 1775. This was settled in 1958 when by its Opinion 516 (Opin. int. Comm. zool. Nom. 19 : 1-44) the Commission ruled, inter alia, that Precedence was to be given to the Verzeichniss of Fuessly over the Ankündung of Denis & Schiffermüller. Zizera Moore, 1881, was designated as the new type-genus for the new tribe Zizerini within the Lycaenidae by Rubio & Perez de Castro, 1974, Archivos Inst. Aclim., Almeria 19 : 58. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
