Type Species:	Catargyria laura Hübner, 1823, Samml. exot. Schmett., Bd.2, pl.[64], figs.1-2 by monotypy -------------------- "... in volume 2 of the Samml. exot. Schmett. Hübner devoted three plates to species assigned by him to genus Catargyria. These are the plates now conventionally treated as bearing the plate numbers [62], [63] and [64]. The nominal species figured on these plates were : Catargyria seraphina, C. druryi, and C. Laura respectively. ... Plates [62] and [63] were published in 1825. Pl.[64], depicting Catargyria laura, was the only plate published in 1823, that species is the type-species by monotypy. The nominal species Catargyria laura Hübner is currently considered subjectively on taxonomic grounds as representing the same taxon as that represented by the older-established nominal species Papilio laure Drury, [1773] (Ill. nat. Hist. 2 : index et 31, pl. 17, figs 5, 6)." (Hemming, 1967, Bull. Brit. Mus. (Nat. Hist.), suppl.9, p.100)
