----------------------------
"Linnaeus introduced the name Papilio jasius in the unnumbered "Errata" sheet as a nom. nov. for Papilio jason Linnaeus, 1767 (loc. cit. (ed. 12) 1 (2) : 749), which is invalid as a junior homonym of Papilio jason Linnaeus, 1758 (Syst. Nat. (ed. 10) 1 : 485). The replacement nominal species so established by Linnaeus represents a well-known member of a highly characteristic group of African Nymphalids and is the type-species of the later-established nominal genus Charaxes Ochsenheimer, 1816.

The name Paphia Fabricius is invalid under the Law of Homonymy, being a junior homonym (a) of Paphia [Röding], 1798 (Mus. Bolten. (2) : 175), and (b) of Paphia Lamarck 1799 (Mém. Soc. Hist. nat. Paris 1799 : 85).

This generic name was placed, in the Commission's Opinion 577 (1959, Bull. zool. Nom. 17 : 140-142), on the Official Index of Rejected and Invalid Generic Names in Zoology as Name No. 1305."
