Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Doubleday, who attributed this name to Boisduval in MS., first published this name in 1844 (List Spec. lep. Ins. Brit. Mus. 1 : 91), but he then gave no generic diagnosis and no included nominal species, save one cited with a note of interrogation. So published, this name was without an "indication" and was accordingly invalid. As shown above, it was however validly published by Doubleday in his Gen. diurn. Lep. in 1847. The genus Callianira Doubleday is totally distinct from Callianira Hübner, being a Eunicine Nymphalid and not a Limenitid. The name Callianira Doubleday is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, being a junior homonym of Callianira Hübner, [1819], discussed above, and, like that name a junior homonym of Callianira Peron & Lesueur, 1810. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
