• Papilio tulliolus Fabricius, J.C. 1793. Entomologia Systematica Emendata et Aucta. Secundum, Classes, Ordines, Genera, Species, adjectis synonimis [sic], locis, observationibus, descriptionibus. Hafniae : Christ. Gottl. Proft. Tom. 3(Pars 1) iv 487pp. [41] [figured in Jones, W. 1783. Icones. [unpublished original watercolour paintings with added notes].

  Type data:

   Holotype whereabouts unknown ♂ (Fabricius in the original description stated that it was described from Jones Icones and collection), QLD (type locality incorrectly given by Fabricius in 1793 as India; this species was almost certainly collected on Cook's first voyage at Cooktown and taken to England by someone in the crew, other than Banks)
