A NEW NAME FOR PAPILIO ZETES WESTWOOD, 1847, NEC LINNAEUS, 1758 (PAPILIONIDAE)
Eugene Munroe
Entomology Research Institute, Canada Department of Agriculture, Ottawa
J. O. Westwood (1847, p. 36, pi. 3, figs. 1, 1*) described Papilio zetes from St. Domingo. This was recognized as a valid species of Papilio by subsequent authors, e.g., Rothschild and Jordan (1906, p. 515), but was transferred by Munroe (1961, pp. 47, 51) to Battus Scopoli. D' Almeida (1966, p. 116) followed this placement.
Unfortunately Papilio zetes Westwood is a junior primary homonym of Papilio zetes Linnaeus (1758, p. 487), now placed in Acraea Fabricius, and it has no junior synonyms. Therefore, under Article 60(b) of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, the former name requires replacement. I propose Papilio zetides, nom. nov., to replace Papilio zetes Westwood. Papilio zetides should be transferred to Battus, becom-in Battus zetides (Munroe), comb. nov.
