Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- Hübner established the nominal species Cathaemia anthyparete, in order to provide a nomenclatorially available name for the taxon of which a male was figured on the upperside and underside as figs A and B on pl. 210 in vol. 3 of Cramer's Uitl. kapellen, and a female also on the upperside and underside as figs E and F on pl. 339 in volume 4 of the same work. (In the text relating to these plates (loc. cit. 3 : 30-31 ; 4 : 95-96) the foregoing taxon was erroneously cited as Papilio hyparete Linnaeus, 1758, a name which applies to an entirely different species). The taxon represented by the nominal species Cathaemia anthyparete Hübner - which according to modern taxonomic ideas is referable to the genus Delias Hübner, [1819] - is currently treated subjectively as representing the same taxon as that represented by the nominal species Papilio ceneus Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 487). This species is commonly called by the emended version of its name, that is caeneus. This however is incorrect for this emendation is an Unjustified Emendation, having been made long after the appearance (in 1758) of the spelling ceneus. It should be noted that the name Cathaemia Hübner has been misused by a number of authors who have treated it as though its type-species were Papilio hirlanda Stoll, [1790], which was also one of Hübner's originally included species. In consequence the authors in question have incorrectly sunk the name Cunizza Grote, 1900, as a junior synonym of Cathaemia. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
