Haematera pyrame
Andrew V. Z. BrowerNomenclature
For many years, it was thought that the generic name of this taxon was Callidula H?bner [1819], but the type species, Papilio pyramus Fabricius 1781 (an invalid junior homonym of Papilio pyramus Cramer 1779, a hesperiid) was incorrectly identified as a butterfly, when it is in fact a day-flying moth from the Moluccas, for which the name is valid (Callidulidae).About This Page
