Description
2. Lamproptera curius curius (Fabricius, 1787)
Recorded distribution: Yunnan and Sichuan (Wu 2001: 186)
Note: Almost all available literature listed L. curius curius from S. Yunnan, Indo-China, Malay Peninsula, to Sumatra. However, such subspecies delimitation and range is facing an inevitable challenge now.
Hu et al. (2014) discussed the identity of the type specimen of L. curius in BMNH, which is a female L. meges annamiticus (Fruhstorfer, 1909) with bleached median band. By analysing the diary of Koenig (1894), Chanthaburi of Thailand was designated as the type locality of L. curius. This issue questions whether the nominotypical L. curius actually occurs in China. Further comparison between all Chinese populations and the Chanthaburi population using morphological and molecular characters is required, as well as resolution of the resultant nomenclatural problem.
