Description: | [Pennsylvania (by phenotype)] [USA] This specimen is from William Hunter's collection. The specimens were utilised by Fabricius describing new species. This example, although not labelled as such is *Papilio alope* and is a candidate for lectotype designation. From the appearance it was probably collected in Pennsylvania (Ron Gatrelle, pers. comm., July 2005). Original description erroneously refers to it as being from India but no butterfly there resembles this specimen.
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 |
