Description
3. Lamproptera meges virescens (Butler, 1870)
Recorded distribution: S.W. and S. Yunnan (Lee 1995: 45).
Note: There are two commonly seen morphologically separable subspecies of L. meges in Yunnan, one being L. meges pallidus (Fruhstorfer, 1909) in the Red River (Yuanjiang River) and Pearl River (Nanpan River) watersheds, and the other being L. meges indistincta (Tytler, 1912) occupying the Irrawaddy (Dulongjiang River), Salween (Nujiang River), and Mekong (Lancang River) watersheds. Many specimens previously identified as virescens were later proven to be indistincta. Whether true virescens really exists in Yunnan still needs further investigation.
