As far as I know, it's not been recorded from there yet.
Note there is only 1 s in kosii.
Adam.

Almost off the setting board and coming soon, photos of the holy grail of Graphiums from this part of the world - Graphium weiskei goodenovii!! Only known from the holotype collected almost 100 years ago!

I believe John T. from the BM went to New Hannover too maybe he would have some reports if weiskei is there or kossi depending on where one ends and the other begins.
I know Adam is having retinal problems so I will email John and Adam and see what if any news is available. Maybe John did take them but they will be held in secret til the paper is published for sure. Best ones Greg

Yes, I had a retinal detachment operation on 16th December, and am still having to keep my eye facing the floor (with a patch covering the left one), but I have put my monitor on the floor and can at least check Insectnet every so often. Hopefully the operation will be a success (85% success rate), and in a few weeks I'll be back to normal.
I nearly went blind in my eye within just 3 days, so if anyone ever gets symptoms of loss of vision like an eclipse moving across the eye you must get it checked immediately. By the time I was operated on (only 3 days after I noticed anything) there was just a sliver of vision left.
In the meantime things became even more chaotic here when my son was born 3 weeks early on 30 December and promptly went into the baby ICU with prenatal pneumonia. He eventually recovered and just came home for the first time yesterday. Happily he is fully recovered now, and hopefully my problems are nearly over, and I can concentrate on studying Papilionidae again soon.
Adam.

Adam,
Congratulations on the birth of your son (glad he's better now) and best wishes for a speedy recovery from your operation!
