Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Cogia crameri”, the useful work is to connect “species of butterfly” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q119779685. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1777 and 1960.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
