Papilio agenor ♀ from Zhejiang

Post by Leonard187 »

I' ve got a female Papilio agenor from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Though its phenotype seems similar to that of the ssp. thunbergii from Japan, it should be ssp. agenor of course. So can it be named as f. thunbergii or just variation of f. agenor

This is an interesting variation of ssp. agenor, not thunbergii which comes from Japan. It does look superficially similar, but not the same.
