Parnassius imperator ssp. regulus distribution?

[dertodesking]

Dear All,

Can anyone tell me where in China Parnassius imperator ssp. regulus (Bryk & Eisner, 1932) is found?

Many thanks

Simon

PS - I know type locality cited in original description is "Shekou, westl. Liangtsou (Kansu), Honanpa, Ost-Nanshan" but can't find out whether this is the area of the Nantou peninsula or the town in Fujian???

Wrong part of China. Here's a map from Dietz showing where regulus comes from:



As you can see this is in the mountains between Gansu and Qinghai, W China.
