Remarks.

Fuchs (1954) proposed this name as a variety of P. archidamas Boisduval, 1836. According to article 45.6.4 ( ICZN 1999), it is subspecific if first published before 1961 and author expressly used the terms “variety” or “form”. Papilio archidamas Boisduval, 1836 is a junior subjective synonym of Battus polydamas (Linnaeus, 1758).
