Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- This name has been somewhat overlooked through having been confused with the name Celaena in which spelling it was published by Doubleday in 1849 in the synonymy of Anartia Hübner, [1819]. That usage - full particulars of which have been given above in the discussion on Celaena Doubleday - is invalid under Article II (d) of the Code which provides that names published in synonymies do not thereby acquire the status of availability. Doubleday's action has moreover a special relevance to the present case since he stated that the name Celaena, as there published by himself, was a manuscript name proposed by Boisduval. Boisduval was an author who habitually distributed - on labels, in correspondence or otherwise - names which he had coined but had not published. Usually Boisduval published these manuscript names of his at some later date but often not for many years after he had first given them an irregular currency in manuscript. When he did ultimately publish such names, he invariably - perhaps naturally from his point of view - published them as new names of his own, irrespective of whether they had in the meantime been published by some other author. This is what he did on the present occasion. It will be noted that in publishing this name, Boisduval used the spelling "Celoena" and not the spelling "Celaena" used by Doubleday, as the result probably of a misreading by that author of Boisduval's handwriting. At the time when Boisduval did ultimately publish this name in 1870, the word Celoena had not been used for a generic name by any author, and in consequence Celoena Boisduval, 1870, is a nomenclatorially available name. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
