Remarks
Lectotype designated by Honey & Scoble (2001: 293). "Linnaean material examined LSL: 1[f] labelled "13. Agenor" [by Linnaeus], "Agenor 747" [by Smith] on a black sewing needle [typical of Osbeck specimens], here designated as LECTOTYPE [see Remarks]; 1[f] labelled "no label" [by Tams]; 1[f] labelled "Agenor" [by Linnaeus], "Achates Fab. 4.9" [by Smith]. MLU: 1[f] labelled "Agenor" [by Aurivillius] on a black-edged label, [drawer labelled] "Agenor, Mus. Gust. Adolph." [by Thunberg], "Papilio Agenor f. typica [f], sec. Auriv." [by Aurivillius] on a red-edged label, "Uppsala Univ. Zool. Mus., Linnésamlingen nr. 1881, Papilio agenor". Subsequent material examined LSL: 1[f] labelled "Marsham 1797" [by Smith]; 1[f] labelled "China, M. of Rock[ingha]m.". Remarks. In 1764 Linnaeus gave the additional locality "China" and in 1767 he only listed "China". The species was listed as having been obtained in the vicinity of Canton by Osbeck (1765). In the LSL there are two specimens labelled by Linnaeus. The one labelled "13. Agenor", which fits the original description in that it is without tails and has white in the discal cell of the hindwing, has been selected as lectotype. It was also considered by Corbet (1949: 194) to be the type and matches the upper specimen figured by Clerck." (Honey & Scoble 2001: 293)
