Diagnosis. Distinguished from other Emesis by thicker, more robust bodies, larger hindwings comparatively to forewings and characteristic rustic color of the wings lacking pale bands ( Fig. 2b ). In DNA, a combination of the following base pairs is diagnostic: nuclear genome: cne3461.1.14:T2709C, cne 1411.6.4:A2699C, cne 1086.2.2: A384G, cne123.6.3:T427C, cne3461.1.14:T2338C; COI barcode region: A46T, T55A, T190A, T421C, T592A, and A637T.

Derivation of the name. The name is a feminine noun in the nominative singular. It is formed from the type species name.

Species included: Papilio mandana Cramer , [1780], Emesis furor Butler & Druce, 1872 , and Emesis russula Stichel, 1910 .

Parent taxon: Genus Emesis Fabricius, 1807 .
