Godart described P. protodamas from a female, adding the description of a 

 male Papilio, which, he says, might perhaps be the male of that female. As these 

 two sjiecimeus belong to different species, there can be no doubt whatever that the 

 name protodamas has to be applied to the species to which that female belongs. 

 Following the lead of Hiibner, who erroneously restricted the name protodamas to 

 the male of Godart and renamed the other species hyperion, all authors have 

 treated the present insect as beiug the true protodamas of Godart. The species 

 is geographically variable in the size of the markings on the upperside of the wings. 

 Butler, iu 1874, separated the small-spotted form as a distinct species, calling 

 it polystictus, from the large-spotted form, which he considered to be typical 

 protodamas. Though Butler was wrong in creating a new " species," his name 

 ]wl>jsticti(s is nevertheless valid for the species, being the first name originally 

 given to individuals of the present species only. The so-called protodamas, namely 

 the large-spotted form, requires a new name, having remained without a valid name 

 of its own.
