Re: Papilio karna
Thanks for the superb photos, both of you.
This species diverged from the mainland Asian P. paris ancestor after that had diverged from the ancestral P. arjuna. That is the main reason it was necessary to confirm P. arjuna as a separate species to P. paris.
Basically you cannot have one species inside the tree of another.
