Description: | [Charleston, South Carolina (in lectotype desgination)] [USA] This specimen is from William Hunter's collection. The specimens were utilised by Fabricius describing new species. This example is the paralectype of *P. pegala* after the lectotype was designated by Brown (1965). He suggested, erroneously, that this specimen had been collected by John Hunter in Georgia. J. Hunter did not cross the Atlantic while serving as a surgeon with the British Army.
The collection contains types from other contemporary entomologists such as Olivier and Drury. | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | LEPIDOPTERA : ARTHINSECT : NYMPHALIDAE : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
