Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- It is not always easy to determine the authorship of new names in Griffith's Cuvier's Animal Kingdom. In the present case however the position is quite free of doubt for in the volume here in question (vol. 15) there is a statement that Gray was responsible for the notices of new genera and species introduced in it ; moreover the name xanthippe was attributed to Gray on the legend to plate 102. In the text the name Chorinea was not applied to this species, which appeared only as Erycina xanthippe. The taxon represented by the nominal species Erycina (Chorinea) xanthippe is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio licursis Fabricius, 1775 (Syst. Ent. : 532). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). See images at Butterflies of America.
