A number of mislabelled butterfly specimens in the Suffert collection purporting to be from Lindi in southeast Tanzania belong to taxa restricted to the Usambara Mountains in northeast Tanzania thus suggesting patria falsa. The history of Suffert's collection and the possible reasons behind this mislabelling event are discussed in more detail. One of the mislabelled specimens, the holotype of Papilio illyris hamatus Joicey Talbot, 1918 described from Tanzania, is the senior name for Graphium illyris girardeaui Guilbot Plantrou, 1978, the latter name formally synonymised herein with the former. A brief biography of the little-known Ernst Suffert is presented.
一些在 Suffert 收藏中被错误标记的蝴蝶标本,声称来自坦桑尼亚东南部的林迪,实际上属于仅分布在坦桑尼亚东北部的乌桑巴拉山脉的特有种,因此表明这些标本产地有误。本文更详细地讨论了 Suffert 收藏的历史以及这种错误标记事件背后的可能原因。其中一个被错误标记的标本,即来自坦桑尼亚的 Papilio illyris hamatus Joicey Talbot, 1918 的模式标本,是 Graphium illyris girardeaui Guilbot Plantrou, 1978 的高级名称,后者在此正式被同义于前者。本文还介绍了鲜为人知的 Ernst Suffert 的简要传记。
