No it's not aureus, and the subspecies name is herteri not heteri - the latest addition to the plethora of Papilionid names. ;-)

Indeed the wingshape of John's male is more like aureus than imperialis. But here you can see a male herteri(both recto and verso) from the same locality with John's paratype specimen in C.Vietnam,which is clearly imperialis morphologically: www.bidders.co.jp/item/169209306 |

a natural hybrid in an area where both species occur. How many specimens were in the type series for T i herteri ? I suspect the similarity to aureus is because the specimen was photographed at an angle, the wing markings seem to be imperialis rather than a hybrid. For example, if it was a hybrid the yellow hindwing patch would be much broader. There are some known natural hybrids of aureus and imperialis. Uehara & Masui 2002 ( Trans. lepid. Soc. Japan, 53(2): 110-112) illustrated a hybrid from Sam Neua, NE Laos, which is absolutely intermediate. Adam. |
