Chainey, John E., 2005, The species of Papilionidae and Pieridae (Lepidoptera) described by Cramer and Stoll and their putative type material in the Natural History Museum in London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 145 (3), pp. 283-337 : 296-297

ANTIPHATES CRAMER, 1775

Pap[ilio] Eq[ues] Achiv[us] antiphates Cramer, 1775: 113 , 151, pl.72, figs A, B [original plate 72, figs D, D]. China.

Papilio Eques Achivus antiphates, Stoll, 1782b: 3 [No. 44].

Material examined. No potential Cramer specimens located.

Current status. Valid species in Graphium (Pathysa) ( Häuser et al., 2003) .

ARBATES STOLL, 1782

( FIG. 6 )

Pap[ilio] Eq[ues] Troj[anus] arbates Stoll, 1782a: 198 , 247, pl.386, figs C, D [original plate 349, figs B, B]. Surinam.

Papilio Eques Trojanus arbates, Stoll, 1782b: 2 [No. 41].

Material examined. Syntype ♀, van Lennep label ‘No. 41. ARBATES Cr. IV. 386. D. E. ’ and Felder label ‘ Surinam Coll. Lenep’ ( BMNH (E)#665200); it has been repinned and had a few repairs and touches of paint. The left side of this specimen is illustrated by Tyler et al. (1994; pl. 58 O) and is cited as a type specimen; it compares well with original plate 349, figs B, B . Syntype ♀ with Felder label ‘ Surinam Coll. Lenep’ ( BMNH (E)#665031) is also a good match for original plate 349, figs B, B; the thorax is damaged and might have been re-pinned. There are two other possible syntypes : 1 ♀ with Felder label ‘ Surinam Coll. Lenep’ and printed Felder label ‘ Arbates Cram. ’ ( BMNH (E)#665030), thorax damaged but no clear evidence that it has been re-pinned; and 1 ♀ with Felder label ‘ Surinam Coll. Eyndhoven’ ( BMNH (E)#665033; re-pinned). These two lack the pale grey spot shown on the forewing. All these specimens have been touched up with paint. There are another 3 ♀ from the Felder collection, but these are considered unlikely to be syntypes; one is labelled ‘ Arbates Surin’ and with Felder label ‘ Surinam Mus. Leiden’ ( BMNH (E)#665032), the other 2 with printed Felder label ‘ Surinam’ (( BMNH (E)#665034–5). All three have been re-pinned.

Current status. Junior subjective synonym of Parides lysander ( Cramer, 1775) [ Tyler et al., 1994, attrib. arbates to Cramer].
