Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Hesperia ovidius Fabricius is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being the same as that represented by the nominal species Papilio cereus Linnaeus, 1767 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : Errata), a replacement nominal species established in the stead of Papilio caeneus Linnaeus, 1767 (ibidem. 1 (2) : 796), a nominal species, the name of which is invalid (through Linnaeus's own First Reviser choice in 1767 in the "Errata" cited above) as a junior homonym of Papilio caeneus Linnaeus, 1767 (loc. cit. 1 (2) : 766), a name applied to a species of the family Pieridae. Up till the publication in 1954 of the Commission's Opinion 232 the well-known name Emesis Fabricius, 1807, was invalid as a junior homonym of the slightly older name Emesis [Illiger], 1807. As shown in the discussion on that name the Commission in the above Opinion suppressed the name Emesis [Illiger] for all purposes, thereby validating the name Emesis Fabricius. Consequent upon the action described above, the Commission in the same Opinion placed the name Emesis Fabricius, 1807, on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 660. EMESIS was included within the subfamily LYCAENIDAE: RIODININAE by Ackery et al., in Kristensen (1999). The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
