The combination Castnia psittacus (Molina) designated by Philippi (1867) and later argued by Ureta (1955) is invalidated by deficiencies, inconsistencies, misrepresentations and misinterpretations of the description made by Molina. Castnia eudesmia Gray stat rev. is proposed as the valid combination, while the epithet psittacus is assigned to the only Papilionidae of Chile Battus polydamas.
