      =    ‡Zonaga Billberg, 1820

Enum. Ins. Mus. Billb.: 78. Type-species: Papilio biblis Fabricius, 1775, Syst. Entomol.: 505, no. 261 (= Papilio hyperia Cramer, 1780, Uitl. Kapellen 3(20): 74, pl. 236, figs. E, F; (24): 175 (index); homonym), by monotypy. A junior objective synonym of Biblis [Fabricius], 1807.

Uitl. Kapellen 3(20): 74, pl. 236, figs. E ♂ D, F ♂ V; (24): 175 (index).

Original Combination: Pap[ilio]. Nymph[alis]. Phaler[ata]. Hyperia

Type Locality: “Eiland St. Thomas in de Westindiën” “l’Isle de St. thomas, aux indes Occidentales” [United States Virgin Islands]

                   =    ‡biblis (Fabricius, 1775)

Syst. Entomol.: 505, no. 261.

Original Combination: P[apilio]. N[ymphalis]. P[halerata]. Biblis

Type Locality: “America”

Preoccupied by Papilio biblis Drury, 1773, Ill. Nat. Hist. 1: 9, pl. 4, fig. 2; 2: index.

                   =    ‡thadana Godart, [1819]

In: Enc. méth. 9(Ins.)(1): 326, no. 1.

Original Combination: Biblis Thadana

This name was proposed to replace Papilio biblis Fabricius, 1775, on the basis of tautonymy; a junior objective synonym. Grimshaw (1897), Trans. R. Soc. Edinburgh 39, part I(1): 5, recorded one ♀ “type” from the Dufresne collection in RSME; this cannot be a type since thadana is a replacement name.
