Splendid.
I think I prefer some other Parnassius in beauty (nomion koiwayai, charltonius...).

Have you seen augustus from Burma? Rose & Weiss mention it as smaller than nominate augustus and may be a new ssp, but I've never seen it. I have a large series of aungsani from N Kachin, but none of them look like augustus.

Here's a relatively poor quality snapshot of the series of P. imperator aungsani from N Kachin. (Seingk Valley, ~4000 m., northeast of Gawai, Prasobsuk Sukkit leg. July & August 1996 & 1998) taken with my mobile phone. It should be good enough to see the variation, females in the right column.  Adam. |

Oh, and none of them are types, since you asked.

Thanks, wollastoni!
Unfortunately, they are not mine, as you can guess.
I found them on some Japanese site (could not read a thing) time ago.
Still they are great, I agree...
