Notes:
Hemming (1967) stated:-
The name Ismene vasutana first appeared in print in 1857 (in Horsfield & Moore, Cat. lep. Ins. Mus. East. India Coy (1) : 247), but, as there published, it was a nomen nudum; it was accompanied however by particulars of the localities of capture of the specimens on which Moore already planned to establish in his projected paper in the Proc. zool. Soc. Lond., which however (as shown above) did not actually appear until the volume of that serial for the year 1865.
