Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- The taxon represented by the nominal species Leptosia chlorographa is currently treated subjectively on taxonomic grounds as being a subspecies of the taxon represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio nina Fabricius, 1793 (Ent. syst. 3 (3) : 194). The name Leptosia was included by Hübner both in the Zuträge and in the Verzeichniss and was formerly treated as having been first published in the Verzeichniss ; this was unfortunate because of the significant difference in the species included in this genus in these two works. In the early and middle parts of the XIXth century the name Leptosia was widely used for Papilio sinapsis Linnaeus, a usage which was consistent with the usage in the Verzeichniss (in which Hübner included a nominal species Papilio lathyri Hübner - which is subjectively identified with Papilio sinapis but was quite inconsistent with the usage in the earlier Zuträge. Cowan (1968: 13) stated:- LEPTOSIA Hübner / insert date 253 line 11; "sinapsis" should read; sinapis 254 line 1; "sinapsis" should read; sinapis Cowan (1970: 50) stated:- LEPTOSIA - It may be helpful to add that Butler, 1870 (Cistula ent. 1 (3) : 54) designated L. lathery Hübner, which was not an originally included species; and that the Inter-national Commission ruled on this and allied names in Opinion 584 (1960, Bull. zool. Nomencl. 17(9/11) : 290). A proposal was made by Cowan 1984, (Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature 41 (4) : 259) to the Commission of Zoological Nomenclature for the correction to Official list of type-species author for Leptosia Hübner, [1818] from Butler 1870 to Scudder 1875. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
