* We use Pammon as the proper name for this butterfly in preference to that of Pohjtes — both names 

 appearing on the same page in Syst. Nat. Pammon applies to both se.res of the normal fur in of the species, 

 and Puhjtes to that of one of the subsequently-developed mimetic forms of the female.
