| Memo: | Hemming (1967) stated:- Westwood in 1851 (in Doubleday, Gen. diurn. Lep. (2) : 360) when discussing this genus, said that Papilio leda Linnaeus and Papilio bankia Fabricius may be considered as the types of the genus. Since these nominal species are, and have long been, commonly considered subjectively as representing the same taxon, many later authors, including myself in 1934 (Gen. Names hol. Butts 1 : 32), accepted Westwood's remark as amounting to the selection of Papilio leda as the type-species of Cyllo, but this view is incorrect, for it is necessary for an author when selecting a type-species for a genus, to specify one nominal species only as such. The first author to do this was Scudder in 1875 when he unequivocally stated that Papilio leda was the type-species of this genus. The name Cyllo Boisduval is invalid, as it is a junior objective synonym of Melanitis Fabricius, 1807. Cowan (1970:) stated:- "bankia to read banksia" and "360 to read 361". The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008). |
