16. Pachliopta aristolochiae floresianus (Rothschild, 1908)

(Li 1991: 352; Lee 1995: 49)

The name in the original text is “ Pachliopta aristolochiae floresiana ”, which is an unjustified emendation of the subspecific name. This taxon is restricted to Flores Is. of Indonesia and belongs to Pachliopta adamas (Zincken, 1831) (Page & Treadaway, 1995), and cannot be found anywhere in Yunnan (listed from Kunming and Dali). The misidentification is caused by the wide range of morphological variation of P. aristolochiae .
