‡Celaena E. Doubleday, 1849

In: Gen. diurn. Lepid. (1)(26): 214. Type-species: Papilio fatima Fabricius, 1793, Entomol. Syst. 3(1): 81, no. 252, by designation of Hemming (1941), J. Soc. Bibl. Nat. Hist. 1(11): 425-426. Proposed in synonymy; a nomen nudum.

Anartia fatima (Fabricius, 1793)

Anartia fatima fatima (Fabricius, 1793)

Entomol. Syst. 3(1): 81, no. 252; cited Jones’ Icones 5: pl. 12, fig. 1; figured by Donovan (1800), Epit. Ins. India: pl. [30], fig. 2 (a copy from Jones’ Icones).

Original Combination: P[apilio]. N[ymphales] Fatima

Type Locality: “Indiis”

Types: Type(s) probably lost.

As originally proposed, this name is preoccupied by Papilio fatima Cramer, 1780, Uitl. Kapellen 3(23): 141, pl. 271, fig. A; (24): 174 (index). I.C.Z.N. Opinion 1339 exempted fatima Fabricius, 1793, from application of the Principle of Homonymy (Code Articles 52, 81.2). Some have considered this taxon to be a subspecies of A. amathea Linnaeus (1758), Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1: 478, no. 118. However, Davies et al. (1997), Proc. R. Soc. Lond. (B) Biol. Sci. 264(1383): 845-851, Dasmahapatra et al. (2002), Evolution 56(4): 741-753, and Blum et al. (2003), Mol. Phylogen. Evol. 26(1): 46-55, determined that A. fatima and A. amathea are both species-level taxa.
