Additional information: "Nachforschungen des Verfassers über den Verbleib des Typenmaterials von Papilio apollinus Herbst, 1798 verliefen jedoch ergebnislos, so daß dieses als verschollen angesehen werden muß. Daher ist die Festlegung eines Neotypus für dieses Taxon erforderlich. Als solcher wird ein männliches Exemplar aus der Umgebung von Izmir gewählt.", "Patria des Neotypus: Izmir, Türkei, März 1969, leg. Rubyk, Frankfurt/Main, coll. de Freina." (de Freina, 1985: 125-126). "Typenmaterial verschollen, nicht im ZMHB. Neotypus ♂ von Izmir, III.1969 leg. Rubyk, design. de Freina (1985b: 126); deponiert in ZSSM (de Freina, briefl.

Remarks
Original description not seen / checked! The designation of a neotype deposited in a private collection by de Freina (1985:125-126) is in contradiction to the provision of article 75d of the ICZN and, hence, to be considered an invalid act.
