Introduction

Relatively small-sized and subtly-colored amathusiines, ranging from China to the Philippines and Sulawesi.

Nomenclature

The type species of Clerome Westwood is Papilio arcesilaus Fabricius 1787, an invalid primary junior homonym of Papilio arcesilaus Sulzer 1776 (syn. Papilio chorinaeus Fabricius 1775 (Morphini)) (ICZN Art. 57.2), although still available as the name of the type species for the genus (ICZN Art. 67.1.2). The name Faunis canens Hübner 1826 is the oldest valid name for that taxon.
Papilio eumeus Drury 1773 is the type species of Faunis.

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
