Name

Eucereon archias (Stoll, [1790]): 66 [1], pl.14 fig.6,7A,8B,9C,10D [2]

Type locality: Suriname

Type material: Physical original type specimen (female as per illustration in Stoll (1790)) not traced, probably lost. 2 males in RMNH considered as non type specimens (even though one of the specimens has a modern type label). Pinheiro, 2016 concludes that neotype designated by Travassos (1959) is invalid , and original description plus original illustration mean that no neotype designation is required (ICZN 1999: article 75.3).
