  • The true date for publishing of Papilio roboris seems to be in doubt. Bridges, 1994, gives [1789]; Tshikolovets, 2011, gives [1793].
  • Heppner, 1981, published on the dates he attributed to the various parts of Esper's rather confusing work.
  • The generally quoted date for Papilio evippus Hübner, is 1800.
  • Bridges, 1994: VIII.169, however, suggests with regard to Papilio evippus that "An earlier description could be 1793. Vögel & Schmett. pls 56-57". This indicates the possibility that the true date for evippus is [Hübner, 1793].
  • Koiwaya, 2007, gives priority to evippus over roboris, quoting author/date: "Hübner, 1793", but without any further explanation.

The dates for Esper's roboris (text and plates) given on the main species page concur with Heppner, 1981: 252, giving priority to the date of 1789 determined for the text on page 59.
