Thetidia Boisduval, 1840
Thetidia chlorophyllaria
(Hedemann, 1879)
Thetidia pekingensis
(Chu, 1981) ("comb. nov.", followed by "syn. nov.")
Notes
The name
Thetidia pekingensis
(Chu, 1981) was first published in
Han and Xue (2011a)
; it was not designated a new combination, but since
Euchloris
Huebner
, [1823] was already known to be a synonym of
Thetidia
(Parsons et al. 1999),
Han and Xue (2011a)
were presumably transferring
Euchloris pekingensis
Chu, 1981 to
Thetidia.
This was confirmed by
Han et al. (2012)
, who subsequently synonymised
T. pekingensis
with
T. chlorophyllaria
.
