We provide an updated catalogue of the type material of the lepidopteran superfamily Papilionoidea deposited in the Zoological Museum of Hamburg (ZMH). We report 414 specimens labelled as “types” belonging to nine species (all of valid names), 74 subspecies (44 valid names and 30 synonyms), 59 invalid infrasubspecific names under the ICZN code, and 23 specimens of 16 “in litteris” (= unavailable) names. Out of the 414 specimens labelled as “types”, 171 specimens are primary types (8 holotypes/lectotypes and 163 syntypes) and 80 are secondary types; 120 specimens are infrasubspecific and hence invalid and are considered as “original specimens”; and 43 specimens are treated here as “Non-type” specimens (topotype). We present a full bibliography of the original descriptions and illustrations for all of these taxa, aiming to provide a comprehensive taxonomic guide to this collection.

Natural history collections are the main archives of biodiversity. They focus on collecting, maintaining and documenting natural specimens, a crucial task, especially in times of global biodiversity decline (
The last ZMH Lepidoptera catalogue was published by Herbert Weidner, a former curator of the collection, in 1974 (
All images were taken with a custom-made digital imaging system (DUN Inc.) with stacking capabilities. The images where either taken with a Canon EOS 5DSR with a 65 mm or 100 mm lens and stacked with Zerene Stacker (PMax algorithm) or with a Canon EOS 6D with a 55 mm or 65 mm lens and stacked with Helicon Focus 5.3.
All taxonomic changes were made after studying the relevant original descriptions of the type material. Synonyms that have already been proposed are listed only if discussed and the type material was examined. Classification used herein follows
Type localities are cited in their original spelling or with additional remarks (in square brackets), if required. All data was transcribed verbatim as appearing on the respective labels. For unreadable data a question mark (?) was used. Double slash (//) separates data on different labels, a single slash (/) separates lines within each label, and semi-colon (;) separates different specimens. Additional comments are placed in square brackets.
The ICZN (1999) terminologies (e.g., holotype, syntype, lectotype, neotype, paratype, paralectotype, allotype, cotype etc.) are available at the ICZN website (http://iczn.org/content/Glossary) and ICZN articles cited in the text can be found below:
Infrasubspecific taxon - a taxon at lower rank than that of subspecies. The names of such taxa are not regulated by the Code.
Article 45.6.1. - A name is infrasubspecific if its author expressly gave it infrasubspecific rank, or if the content of the work unambiguously reveals that the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity;
Article 45.6.2. - A name is deemed to be infrasubspecific if its author used one of the terms “aberration”, “ab.” or “morph”.
Article 45.6.3. - A name is deemed to be infrasubspecific if it was first published after 1960 and the author expressly used one of the terms “variety” or “form” (including use of the terms “var.”, “forma”, “v.” and “f.”);
Article 45.6.4. - A name is subspecific if first published before 1961 and its author expressly used one of the terms “variety” or “form” (including use of the terms “var.”, “forma”, “v.” and “f.”), unless its author also expressly gave it infrasubspecific rank, or the content of the work unambiguously reveals that the name was proposed for an infrasubspecific entity, in which case it is infrasubspecific.

Labelled as “Autotypes” 1♂1♀ (ZMH 824703–824704) (Fig.
Armenia: Daratshitshag.
The year on the specimen labels (1939) indicate specimens were collected four years after description (1935) from the same location (i.e., Armenia: Daratshitshag) the original holotype material was collected. As a result, the label of the specimens treated as “autotypus” by Warnecke is erroneous. Autotypes do not exist in taxonomy. The specimen collected from the same geographical location from which the type specimen was collected is called topotype. According to ICZN (1999), a topotype has no formal standing and is not regulated by the Code. Therefore, these two specimens are erroneously labelled as types, should be annotated as “Not a Type” and are treated here as “Non-type” specimens.

The year on the specimen labels (1937) indicate specimens were collected 24 years after description (1913) from the same location the original holotype material was collected. As a result, the black label of the specimens treated as “types” is erroneous. The specimen collected from the same geographical location from which the type specimen was collected is called topotype. According to ICZN (1999), a topotype has no formal standing and is not regulated by the Code. Therefore, these six specimens are erroneously labelled as types, should be annotated as “Not a Type” and are treated here as “Non-type” specimens.

Labelled as “Type” 1♂ (ZMH 827662) (Fig.
Italy: “Unteritalien (Kalabrien)”.
The year on the specimen label (1920) indicates specimen was collected two years after description (1918) from the same location (i.e., Italy, Kalabrien) the original holotype material was collected. As a result, the label of the specimen treated as “Type” is erroneous. The specimen collected from the same geographical location from which the type specimen was collected is called topotype. According to ICZN (1999), a topotype has no formal standing and is not regulated by the Code. Therefore, this specimen is erroneously labelled as type, should be annotated as “Not a Type” and is treated here as “Non-type” specimen.

With more than 2,000 type specimens of butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), the Zoological Museum of Hamburg (ZMH) is one of the most important natural history archives in Germany. In this catalogue, a total of 414 specimens labelled as “types” belonging to the superfamily Papilionoidea are listed and discussed. This includes 23 specimens of 16 “in litteris” (= unavailable) names, 43 topotypes (non-type specimens), 97 original specimens of invalid infrasubspecific entities under the ICZN code, and 251 type specimens (Fig.
The comparison of our updated catalogue to the type catalogue of
Five countries (Italy – 37, Germany – 25, China – 16, France – 13, and Afghanistan – 10) represent the majority of type localities for 60% (101 of 172 “names”) of the Papilionoidea type collection followed by Iran and Austria (each represented by 8 “type” localities), Russia, Greece, Peru and Algeria (each with 6 “type” localities) (Fig.
Type status among 414 “type” specimens of the lepidopteran superfamily Papilionoidea deposited in the Zoological Museum of Hamburg (ZMH).
Geographical distribution of “type” localities among 171 representative “type” specimens of the lepidopteran superfamily Papilionoidea deposited in the Zoological Museum of Hamburg (ZMH). Category A (six type localities) includes Algeria, Greece, Peru and Russia; category B (three type localities) includes Switzerland, Turkey and Spain; category C (two type localities) includes Armenia, Croatia and Yemen; category D (one type locality) includes Turkmenistan, Sweden, Romania, Macedonia. Lebanon, Japan, Estonia, Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Belgium.
