( Lee 1995: 40)

This is a false combination of two taxa. The name ‘ gyas ’ applies to Meandrusa lachinus ( Fruhstorfer, 1902) , since Papilio gyas ( Westwood, 1841) is unavailable as a junior primary homonym of Papilio gyas Cramer, 1775 ( Riodininae ) ( Racheli & Cotton 2009). The name ‘ hercules ’ applies to Meandrusa sciron ( Leech, 1890) , but Papilio hercules Blanchard, 1871 is unavailable as a junior primary homonym of Papilio hercules Dalman, 1823 ( Morphinae ) ( Racheli & Cotton 2009). Additionally, the genus name Dabasa Moore, 1888 is a junior synonym of Meandrusa Moore, 1888 . The description and illustration under this name in Lee (1995) matches M. sciron .
