I agree with you Simon. the only problem with charaxes, polyura, agrias are their strong wing muscles, so takes longer to relax them, also longer drying time. Once they are set and properly dried, they stay perfect. As for papilionidae, the most horrible group too mount are the "lamproptera" or swallowtails from Hell, also the "ulgyiest" Too bad they cannot be kicked out of the papilionidae!

Some experts lump them under "acco" others treat acco-baileyi-przewalskii as full sp. Clearly all three are very distinct. Same as in papilio zagreus, where Brown, Tyler lumped neyi-ascolius-zagreus-bachus as one sp. zagreus, and decided ssp. like (bachus) belsazar (zagreus) motilones were "forms"

You are right, thanks for adding pergamus to list of ssp. Next time, I will take the time to look up the facts, rather then going by memory.
