(From: A Catalogue of the Butterflies of the United States and Canada, Jonathan P. Pelham)

Genus Limenitis [Fabricius], 1807

In: Illiger, Mag. f. Insektenk. 6: 281, no. 10. Type-species: Papilio populi Linnaeus, 1758, Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1: 476, no. 111, by designation of Dalman (1816), K. svenska VetenskAkad. Handl. 37(1): 55. I.C.Z.N. Opinion 278 placed this name on the Official List of Generic Names in Zoology as name no. 701. R. Chermock (1950), Am. Midl. Nat. 43(3): 513-569, united many genus-level taxa under Limenitis, some of which have since been elevated. The use of Basilarchia for Nearctic species is not warranted until a thorough analysis of all related taxa has been conducted.

Gunder (1934), Can. Entomol. 66(2): 45, determined that this is a hybrid between L. weidemeyerii and L. lorquini; also see Boyd et al. (2000), Holarct. Lepid. 6(2): 37-74.

Limenitis lorquini burrisonii Maynard, 1891

Manual N. Am. Butts.: 102, no. 143a.

Original Combination: Limenitis lorquini burrisonii

Type Locality: “British Columbia...Landsdowne, westward to Vancouvers Island”; defined as “Landsdowne Creek near Fairmont Hot Springs” by Layberry et al. (1998), Butts. Can: 210-211.

Types: Location of type(s) not known, possibly in MCZ.

Layberry et al. (1998), Butts. Can.: 210-211, and C. Guppy and J. Shepard (2001), Butts. B. C.: 317-319, considered the name burrisonii unavailable because they thought that it represents a hybrid between L. lorquini and L. arthemis rubrofasciata. If it is demonstrated that the type is a hybrid, the name burrisonii is still available (Code Articles 17.2 and 23.8).
