Localidade Tipo:	-------------------- "Hübner gave four figures on his plate [64], figs 1 and 2 depicting the male (upperside and underside) of Catargyria laura, figs 3 & 4 purporting to depict the corresponding surfaces of the female of that species. As pointed out by Kirby in 1871 (Syn. Cat. diurn. Lep. : 262), the specimens treated by Hübner as the male and female respectively of his nominal species Catargyria laura are not conspecific with one another, the specimen which Hübner treated as being the female of the above species being, in fact, referable to the nominal species Catargyria druryi, a nominal species established by Hübner in 1825 on pl. [63] of the same work. In order to provide the nominal species Catargyria laura Hübner with a fully determinate content, it is necessary that a formal lectotype-selection should be made for it. This I did in 1939 (Proc. R. ent. Soc. Lond . (B) 8 : 134). 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)
