This week’s shipment contains three Prepona species: Prepona omphale (Blue Belly-Button), Archeoprepona demophoon (Hubner’s Prepona), and Archeoprepona demophon (One-spotted Prepona). The second two species are closely related and were named independently by two different people near the same time. Such near-copied names represent a taxonomic faux pas of a kind rarely seen.
