Three subspecies in my collection.
Picture one. Papilio karna karna pair. Java.

Picture three. Male Papilio karna irauana. Palawan.
I don't have a female of subspecies iruana.

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.
