There's quite a tradition to name butterflies hierarchically: Monarch, Emperor, Admiral, Yeoman, Baron, Duke, Coster...Commodore? Policeman? Handmaiden? Are all African moths named in similar vein?!? (And named by the Victorian Colonials or more recently? ... Or translations ... can see these changing at some point lol!!)
