Name

Eucereon archias (Stoll, [1790]): 66 [1], pl.14 fig.6,7A,8B,9C,10D [2]

Type locality: Suriname

Type material: Female per illustration in Stoll (1790)) probably lost. 2 males RMNH considered as non type specimens (one has a modern type label). Pinheiro, 2016 concludes that neotype of Travassos (1959) is invalid, and original description plus original illustration mean no neotype is required (ICZN 1999: article 75.3).
