Description

11. Graphium cloanthus kuge (Fruhstorfer, 1908)

(Chen 2001: 51)

This subspecies is confined to Taiwan and cannot be found anywhere in Yunnan (Racheli & Cotton 2009; Hsu 2013). The confusion must be caused by misidentification of the spring/dry season form, which has broader glassy green bands on both wings.
