TAXONOMIC NOTES AND REMARKS
Although Byasa dasarada barata Rothschild was reported from Arunachal Pradesh by
Arora, Adam Cotton states that it is not known from India.
Papilio janaka Moore: Adam Cotton treats this as a synonym of Papilio bootes. Breeding
experiments with both P. janaka and P. bootes might confirm this.
Papilio protenor protenor Cramer, althoughmmentioned by Evans (1932), is not found in
India, but in China.
Papilio bianor ganesa Moore is only on E. Himalayan slopes.
Papilio bianor gladiator Fruhstorfer is known from the Khasi Hills (Meghalaya) and
Manipur.
Papilio prexaspes pitmani Elwes & de Niceville is not found in India.
