Please Note:
In email correspondence with John Chainey (BMNH) he suggested that this specimen from the collection of Cornelius van Lennep labelled
"No. 96 ANDROMEDA Cr.1
96.A."
also has a label by P. Ackery suggesting that this specimen more closely resembles Cramer's figure of thamyra and could be a syntype of that species. He suggested that it is quite possible than the 'van lennep' label has been associated with the wrong specimen. This was the conclusion also drawn by Lee Miller and Jackie Miller.
