Graphium (Pazala) tamerlanus subsp. tamerlanus tamerlanus (Oberthur 1876
Description
Graphium (Pazala) tamerlanus tamerlanus (Oberthür, 1876) (Figure 9, A–C)
Papilio Tamerlanus Oberthür, 1876; Ét. Ent., 2: 13, pl. II, f. 1; TL: ‘Moupin’ [Baoxing, Sichuan, China].
Pazala tamerlana Chou, 1994; Monographia Rhopalocerorum Sinensium: 55, 174. [unjustified emendation, attributed to Oberthür]
Diagnostic characters: Forewing length: male 37.5–43.5 mm (mean = 40.4 ± 1.4 mm, n = 52), female 45.5 mm. Both wings rather broad, the 9 th black band of forewing mostly reaches vein 1A in males while reduced to vein CuA 2 in females, the subterminal double black bands more separated from each other.
Distribution: The northeastern margin of the Hengduan Mountains in W. China, mainly in the medium-high altitude areas west of the Sichuan Basin.
Phenology: Specimen records indicate the flight period lasts from April to July, with those collected in June and July distinctly larger. Whether this species is univoltine or bivoltine requires further investigation.
Host plant: Unknown. Probably a plant belonging to the family Lauraceae.
