Is there a specific way to separate identification of Graphium doson apart from Graphium euryplus? I continually get these two confused.
TIA

The above separation of evemon is only accurate for Sundaland. In mainland Asia evemon ssp. albociliatis DOES have a red spot at the base of the hindwing underside.
Apart from the general difference in appearance between evemon and eurypylus visible in the photos above and differences in the male hindwing anal fold scales, the easiest way to separate evemon and eurypylus is to look at the lowest submarginal spot on the forewing upperside. In evemon there is just a single spot in the space, whereas in eurypylus there is a pair. This difference applies in both sexes, but before checking it you must first separate out all the doson.
Adam.

Here's an example of evemon albociliatis from Lak Sao, Laos, note the single spot near the tornus of the forewing. This is only single on the upperside, by the way. Adam. PS. Sorry about picture quality. Attachments:
