Taxonomic history

Originally described as Papilio Antiphates Cram. palawanicus Eimer, 1889
Treated as a synonym of Papilio antiphates decolor Staudinger, 1888 by Rothschild (1895: 413). Treated as a synonym of Papilio euphrates decolor Staudinger, 1888 by Bryk (1930: 258). Treated as a synonym of Graphium (Pathysa) antiphates decolor (Staudinger, 1888) by Bridges (1988: II.43).

Remarks

Objectively invalid as a junior objective synonym of Papilio antiphates decolor Staudinger, 1888, as the name has evidently been based by Eimer on a single syntype of that nominal taxon. Furthermore, permanently invalid as a junior primary homonym of Papilio helenus palawanicus Staudinger, 1888.
