Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- (as defined by the specimen figured as fig. C on plate 243 in Part 21 of volume 3 of Cramer's Uitl. Kapellen and named Papilio endymion on page 86 of the same volume, which by selection by Hemming in 1964, Annot. lep. (4) : 103) represents the lectotype both of Papilio endymion Cramer, [1779], and of Hexuropteris endymiaena Hübner, [1819]). The nominal species Hexuropteris endymiaena was established solely on the basis of bibliographical references, of which the first was to Papilio endymion Cramer. By the two lectotype selections described above, the nominal species Hexuropteris endymiaena Hübner and Papilio endymion Cramer became objectively identical with one another. The name Papilio endymion Cramer is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, that name having been published in 1779, that is, four years after the name Papilio endymion Fabricius, 1775 (Syst. Ent. : 519). The oldest available name for this taxon is Hexuropteris endymiaena Hübner, the type-species of the present genus. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
