Papilio xuthus f. unimaculata Warnecke, 1924.

Current status.

Infrasubspecific and hence unavailable name.

Original material.

Labelled as “Type” 1? ( ZMH 61623 ) (Fig. 41 ). “Japan” // “Type” / / Sammlung / Fritz Diehl / Eing. Nr. 35, 1950" // " P. xuthus L. / n.f. // unimaculata / Warn." // " ZMH 61623 " .

Original locality.

Original publication without location records; label states Japan; according to hand written type catalogue of Warnecke: Ussuri ex Coll. Dörries (67), holotype destroyed in fires in Zool. Mus. Hamburg 1943, 1 specimen with location label Japan labelled as type by Warnecke in Coll. Warnecke, now in ZMH.

Remarks.

Warnecke (1924) proposed this name as a form of P. xuthus Linnaeus, 1776. According to article 45.6.1 ( ICZN 1999), it is infrasubspecific if the content of the work unambiguously reveals that the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity, and is hence unavailable. The text of Warnecke (1942) paper unambiguously reveals that he describes an individual form and not a (geographic) subspecies.
