Re: Visit to Carnegie & Bandrow
After a 14 year (!!!) hiatus, Bob invited me to visit him at Carnegie Museum of Natural History. Now, what to bring? I don't like to visit anyone without some small gift. I'd mentioned a few beetles I had, but Bob is a Cerambycidologist, a specialist, and the kind reception was rather ho-hum. Now I...

Re: New Papilio paper
Now that Papilio hermeli has been reinstated as a separate species to Papilio chikae, I wonder how this impacts on CITES and the recent inclusion of hermeli as ssp of chikae and thus a butterfly protected under the Convention?

Re: Papilio krishna
D'Abrera (1982) illustrated 2 females. The GART/GloBIS project photographed a pair in the BMNH Type collection which are not the same specimens as those in D'Abrera's book (I have copies of these photos), but these are not available on the Papilio krishna page of the GloBIS website http://www.globi...

Re: Ornithoptera meridionalis
Not a perfect pair by a long way & small compared to my other birdwings. Particularly the male. Glad to have them nevertheless. Data is for Timika June 2006. Anyone else got better specimens? Three males on right hand side and second male on third row in from left from Aseki, Morobe Province, P...

Re: Papilio (machaon?) bairdii / brucei
Recent DNA analysis of genus Papilio , on which I am a co-author and has recently been submitted for publication, shows that Papilio bairdii is a separate species to the Palaearctic P. machaon . I wasn't going to mention details until after publication, and will inform Insectnet readers about other...

Papilio (machaon?) bairdii / brucei
Is there a form of bairdii that is yellow, referred to as brucei or do we have two different beasts?

Re: Rare Delias butterflies
Thanks for the info. Amazing. Glad to see there are still butterflies to be discovered. I just got back in phone range after a successful day chasing north americas largest undescribed Papilio. Getting there is half the battle; finding the right spot is the other half. So I understand I'm on the ed...

Has anyone recently again purchased specimens from Tony Reategui? Very good to deal with historically and has again popped up.
