Description

6. Graphium chiron (Wallace, 1865)

(Huang 1995: 43; Lee 1995: 40)

The original name Papilio chiron Wallace, 1865 is a junior primary homonym of Papilio chiron Fabricius, 1775 (Nymphalidae) and Papilio chiron Rottemburg, 1775 (Lycaenidae), and therefore is unavailable. The name was replaced by Papilio chiron var. chironides Honrath, 1884, which is now Graphium (Graphium) chironides (Honrath, 1884) (Racheli & Cotton, 2009).
