PAPILIO NEOSAHARAE

[michel]

For over 20 years, in my books and articles, I avoid showing pinned ("nailed"), specimens but alive and in natura.
The types are in the National History Museum of Paris and can be viewed by all entomologists.
Holotype. 1 ♂, Adrar Akdal, Maroc, au sud-ouest de Tafraoute, Anti-Atlas sud-occidental, 1 300-1 400 m, 13-III-2015, M. TARRieR leg. Déposé au Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris.

Michel,

Do you have photos of the holotype you can send me privately by e-mail? It's not possible for me to go to Paris to examine the specimen. If not, would it be possible for you to ask your contact at the Paris Museum to take photos and send them to you for me and anyone else who would like to see them?

Thank you,
Adam.

PS. Welcome to the forum, we are very happy to have such a well known Lepidopterist here.
