Publishedpapers and open data sources regarding the taxonomic status of Papilio appalachiensis (Pavulaan &Wright, 2002) (Papilionidae) 

–a request for information

Input is kindly requested regarding publications notincluded in the list below, and/or any database or other information availablein the public domain, relevant to making an assessment of the taxonomic statusof Papilio appalachiensis (Pavulaan& Wright, 2002). This information is desired by the North American ButterflyAssociation Scientific Names Committee prior to adding this taxon as a distinctspecies, or not as the case may be, to the NABA checklist (https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.naba.org_pubs_enames2-5F3.html&d=CwIFaQ&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=tVAKMFPe3UCcsMWUFXo0FeX0xe1JUAj77B74DAI3DKI&m=X7aUPHKQiYVMawt9bilDxfNSxMQdGV8flLZuUsBhYI8&s=SMSYVD3K4Y87odCx5F0qjucHM_Ldn66nMERDXfE8pnI&e= ).

Any such action by NABA carries no special weight orsignificance for other groups, individuals, checklists, scientific institutionsor purposes. However, the information presented in each case is typically extensive,and the full results and argumentation are made openly available. The procedureof the committee, with an example of a recent report covering several decisions,can be seen by accessing and freely downloading the following two papers fromthe NABA website:
