Chainey, John E., 2005, The species of Papilionidae and Pieridae (Lepidoptera) described by Cramer and Stoll and their putative type material in the Natural History Museum in London, Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 145 (3), pp. 283-337 : 311-313

ULYSSES LINNAEUS OF CRAMER, 1777

Pap[ilio] Eq[ues] Troj[anus] ulysses, Cramer, 1777: 37 , 151 [indexed as ulisses, incorrect subsequent spelling], pl.121, figs A, B [original plate 100, figs A, A]. Moluccas (figured specimen from ‘Isle d’Amboine’ [= Indonesia, Ambon]).

Papilio Eques Achivus ulisses, Stoll, 1782b: 2 [No. 5] (incorrect subsequent spelling).

Material examined. 1 ♂, with van Lennep label ‘ No. 5. ULISSES. Cr. II. 121. A. B.’ is a good match for original plate 100, figs A, A. ( BMNH (E)#665048); it has been re-pinned. There is also a possible Cramer specimen in RNHL .

Identity. Papilio (Achillides) u. ulysses Linnaeus, 1758 .

VERTUMNUS CRAMER, 1779

( FIG. 23 )

Pap[ilio] Eq[ues] Troj[anus] vertumnus Cramer, 1779: 32 , 176, pl.211, figs A, B, C [original plate 180, figs A, A, B]. Surinam, ‘ou ils ne sont cependant pas fort communs’ [where, however, it is not very common] (figured from C.Stoll’s collection).

Papilio Eques Trojanus vertumnus, Stoll, 1782b: 2 [No. 36].

Material examined. Syntype ♂, with van Lennep label ‘ No. 36. VERTUMNUS Cr. III. 211. A. B. C. ’ and Felder label ‘ Surinam Coll. Lenep’ ( BMNH (E)#665197); it has been re-pinned and had a few repairs and touches of paint, but is a good match for original plate 180, figs A, A. There are 2 ♂ syntypes, each with Felder label ‘ Surinam Coll. Lenep’. One ( BMNH (E)#665016) is a good match for original plate 180, figs A, A; it has thoracic damage but may retain its original pin, it has also lost its abdomen and has received extensive repairs; the second ( BMNH (E)#665017) is much smaller; it has a stouter pin and has probably been re-pinned and has some repairs to the wings. There are also 2 ♂ [? syntypes, BMNH (E)#665015/8] and 1 ♀ ( BMNH (E)#665019) with Felder labels ‘ Surinam Coll. Eyndh [oven]’; the latter bears no resemblance to the figured ‘female’ on original plate 180, fig. B. One of the van Eyndhoven males has been re-pinned, but not the other .

Current status. Valid species in Parides ( Häuser et al., 2003) .
