Genus PHASIS Hiibner 



Phasis Hiibner, 1826, Verz. bekannt. Schmett : 73. Type-species : Papilio salmoneus Cramer, 



1 781 (Papilio thcro Linnaeus, 1764) designated by Scudder, 1875. 

 Phasis Hiibner (partim), Aurivillius, 1898 : 337 ; 1924 : 424 ; Swanepoel, 1953 : 121. 

 Pseudocapys Murray, 1935 : 106. Type-species, by original designation, Papilio thero Linnaeus. 



Murray (1935 : 103) erroneously attempted to designate, as type-species of 

 Phasis, Papilio pierus Cramer, which was not one of the originally included species 

 (see Aloeides). Pseudocapys Murray is an objective junior synonym of Phasis 

 Hubner.
