Species
Parides anchises (Linnaeus, 1758)
anchises Linnaeus, 1758
Original Description
Papilio (Eques) anchises Linnaeus, 1758
Type specimen(s)
Status: Lectotype
Specimen data: LT (♀)
Additional information: "MLU: 1 ♀ without abdomen, on a pin without head (apparently lost) and without groove, labelled "Anchises" [by Aurivillius] on a black-edged label, [drawer labelled] "Anchises, Mus. Gust. Adolph." [by Thunberg], "Papilio Anchises ♀, sec. Auriv.", [by Aurivillius], on a red-edged label "Uppsala Univ. Zool. Mus., Linnésamlingen nr. 1877, Papilio anchises", here designated as LECTOTYPE." (Honey & Scoble, 2001: 296). "The present author examined a photo of the lectotype of Papilio anchises and found that it is conspecific with the nominal taxon currently known as Papilio lysander Cramer, 1775. We retain the present usage of both names for the moment, while making an application to ICZN." (Racheli, 2006: 42).

Remarks
Lectotype designated by Honey & Scoble (2001: 296). "Linnaean material examined. LSL: 1[f] labelled "Anchises 746" [by Smith]; 1[f] unlabelled. MLU: 1[f], without abdomen, on a pin without head (apparently lost) and without groove, labelled "Anchises" [by Aurivillius] on a black-edged label, [drawer labelled] "Anchises, Mus. Gust. Adolph." [by Thunberg], "Papilio Anchises [f], sec. Auriv.", [by Aurivillius], on a red-edged label "Uppsala Univ. Zool. Mus., Linnésamlingen nr. 1877, Papilio anchises", here designated as LECTOTYPE. Remarks. Listed by Linnaeus (1758) as an MLU species and figured by Clerck. The MLU specimen shows no trace of the red colouration shown in the Clerck figure, but this is probably due to fading. However, as in the figure, it lacks antennae suggesting that the specimen was the one illustrated by Clerck. We have, therefore, selected it as lectotype. None of the figures cited by Linnaeus in the original description are of anchises (Aurivillius, 1882: 16). Linnaeus probably based the type locality on Merian's illustration of a species from Surinam. Although this was a misidentification by Linnaeus, Surinam is the most likely type locality for the nominate subspecies of this polytypic species." (Honey & Scoble 2001: 296)
