Remarks
Lectotype designated by Honey & Scoble (2001: 358). "Remarks. In 1764 Linnaeus cited the type locality as "Indiis" instead of "Asia". The type locality is almost certainly Canton since the species was listed by Osbeck (1765) (see also Corbet, 1949: 197). The specimen selected as lectotype is a male of the sexually dimorphic species polytes Linnaeus. See polytes." (Honey & Scoble 2001: 358).
