3. Lamproptera meges virescens ( Butler, 1870)
Recorded distribution: S.W. and S. Yunnan ( Lee 1995: 45).
Note: There are two commonly seen morphologically separable subspecies of L. meges in Yunnan, one being L. meges pallidus ( Fruhstorfer, 1909) in the Red River (Yuanjiang River) and Pearl River (Nanpan River) watersheds, and the other being L. meges indistincta ( Tytler, 1912) occupying the Irrawaddy (Dulongjiang River), Salween (Nujiang River), and Mekong (Lancang River) watersheds. Many specimens previously identified as virescens were later proven to be indistincta . Whether true virescens really exists in Yunnan still needs further investigation.
