The common moniker Queen Flasher comes from its scientific name “regina”, a Latin word meaning “queen.” Panacea regina is the largest member of the genus. It was discovered by the legendary explorer and naturalist Henry Walter Bates in 1864 , and named in honour of Queen Victoria - the great-great grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II.
