Graphium weiskei goodenovii is one of the rarest Papilionidae from the Southern Hemisphere, described from a single male specimen collected before 1916! The top two specimens (both males) are of Graphium kosii gigantor, New Britain. The bottom two specimens (both males) are of Graphium weiskei goodenovii. Photos of females reserved until a scientific paper is published later in the year  |

wonderful specimens Laurie. The forewings of both species are extremely similar. I see the main difference is in the HW.
Congratulations.

Laurie
Beautiful specimens of very rare Papilionidae. They look A1 and bred butterflies. You do get to some pretty remote places. I look forward to reading your paper. I know one dealer has the nominate G. kosii for sale and for A1- males they want a lot of money for them.
Peter.

Really should put the female fulleri boulleti in a separate thread so it will show up on web and site searches.
