Notes:
Hemming (1967) stated:-
The specific name jayadeva first appeared in print in the combination Ismene jayadeva in 1857 (in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East India Coy (1) : 248) where it was cited as the name of a nominal species which it was proposed to establish in a then projected paper to be published in the Proc. zool. Soc. Lond. (i.e. in the paper in which it was first validly published nine years later). In 1857 Moore gave particulars regarding the locality in which his proposed type-material had been obtained but gave no other information.

NOTE: Originally appeared as "Capita" in the checklist, which seems to be a common miss-spelling in the region. (e.g. http://www.malaeng.com/blog/?p=7716)
