Acraea violae is not the good name of this butterfly.

The good name is Acraea terpsicore Linné 1758, described as Papilio (Heliconius) terpsicore (the first description for the Acraea family). To get information on this mistake, see the article: "Acraea terpsicore (Linné), problèmes de nomenclature et données biologiques (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae)" in Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 102 (5): 405-412 by Bernaud & Pierre. First stages are described.

Thank you for bringing this to attention. Torben Larsen also seems to suggest this change based on the priority principle. Unfortunately none of the major reference lists have made the amendments. It would be ideal if the changes are reflected in LepIndex (NHM, UK, [1]) so that we could merely refer to it. We could of course make the changes soon if there is consensus here.
