PHORCAS CRAMER, 1775

Pap[ilio] Eq[ues] Achiv[us] phorcas Cramer, 1775: 4 , 154, pl.2, figs B, C [original plate 3, figs B, B]. Sierra Leone.

Papilio Eques Achivus phorcas, Stoll, 1782b: 3 [No. 24].

Material examined. No potential Cramer specimens located.

Current status. Valid species in Papilio (Princeps) ( Häuser et al., 2003) . [ Ackery et al. (1995) propose that an application to ICZN be made to conserve this wellknown name over Papilio doreus Fabricius, 1775 , which would have priority if ICZN Opinion 516 was strictly applied.]
