Notes
- ^ According to TOLweb, Lepidoptera and Some Other Life Forms (Savela), Wikispecies, and nymphalidae.net Archived 8 December 2010 at the Wayback Machine which all seem to be based on Lamas, G. (2004).
- ^ Markku Savela's Pierella page says this is invalid and the correct citation is Herrich-Schäffer, 1865, however no source is given for this conclusion and the LepIndex[1] (among other sources) consider Westwood, [1851] to be correct.
