John,
One of my favourites! Any chance of seeing the other drawers?
How many ssp. have been described now?

There'll probably be three more subspecies described by the Japanese by the time he replies!

I think that there are 21 ssp., but most, or all were described by German, British entomologists. Seems, Japanese are more in Indonesian region. Germany, for one had colonial territories there, Deutsch Neu Guinea, Neu Pommern, Neu Hannover, hence its called Bismarck Archipelago. However, the ulysses ssp. are all clearly defined and distinct.
