Oh I forgot, it is North vietnam.
Thanks Joachim

Hello, thanks Paul, it seems there is some variation in the females? pictures in books are different Joachim That's a great understatement! Females of form agenor are highly variable, both in fore and hind wings. I have put together a photo of some specimens to show the large variation of wild specimens. None of these are from my breeding experiments, which have produced extreme variations.  I should add that the tailed form, generally known as distantianus, also has a significant natural variation.

Females of P. rumanzovia are similarly variable.
