Libythea TERENA Godart, in Latreille & Godart, 1819

Encyclopédie Méthodique Histoire Naturelle [Zoologie] 9. Entomologie i–328 [170]. Current accepted combination: Libytheana terena (Godart, in Latreille & Godart, 1819) (see Lamas, 2004).

Syntype, male, pinned (abdomen missing): Specimen data: “Lybithea terena” [Handwritten Dufresne cabinet label]. No Dufresne collection label. “ TYPE ” [Handwritten on oval pink label]. “Dufresne | 1936-50 | 58” on verso “ Libythea terena | Godart | TYPE ” [Handwritten (by Grimshaw) on mauve paper]. Remarks: The handwritten cabinet label on the pin of this specimen is in the same handwriting as the Dufresne collection catalogue, thus confirming Grimshaw’s supposition that it was of Dufresne origin (Grimshaw (1897). It is thus a syntype. Type locality is given as “Antilles” [The Antilles].
