Chimastrum Godman & Salvin, 1886 View in CoL is a junior subjective synonym of Mesene Doubleday, 1847
Chimastrum Godman & Salvin, 1886 (type species Mesene argentea Bates, 1866 ) (Fig. 18 red) originates within Mesene Doubleday, 1847 (type species Papilio phareus Cramer, 1777 ) (Fig. 18 olive), thus rendering it paraphyletic. To restore the monophyly, instead of breaking Mesene (that is currently already assembled from close relatives) into several genus-group taxa, we treat Chimastrum as a junior subjective synonym of Mesene .
