Urbanus p. proteus historical specimen, TL: America
This specimen in MGCL was designated Neotype by Steinhauser (1981), Bull. Allyn Mus. no. 62: 13 figs. 4, 5. However, per Pelham (2008): ""Lectotype in UZIU, designated by Aurivillius (1882), K. svenska. Vetensk. Akad. Handl. (4)19(5): 119-120. A subsequent ""lectotype"", in MWNH, was designated by Mielke (1989), Rev. bras. Zool. 6(3):450-451, figs. .. The lectotype designated by Aurivillius may not be this species. If not, it may be necessary to ask the I.C.Z.N. to establish a neotype that conforms with the consistent use of this name; see Honey and Scoble (2001), Zool. J. Linn. Soc. 132(3): 373-374"".
