Notes:
Hemming (1967) stated:-

The name Losaria Moore was published on the same date and in the same work as the name Balignina Moore, and in consequence the relative precedence to be accorded to these names depends on the choice made by the First Reviser. That choice was made by myself in 1964 (Annot. lep. (3) : 85) when I accorded precedence to the name Losaria Moore over the name Balignina Moore.

The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
