Achillides polyctor simoni Sturm, 2006 ; Notes on Papilionidae , 4: 3, f. 1–6; TL: ‘ China , Sichuan , Mt. Quiong-Lai’ [Qionglai Shan, Sichuan , China ]. Distribution: mainly found in areas to the east of Ailao Shan in Yunnan ; also commonly found in C., S., and E. China , as well as N. Vietnam . Note: Cotton et al . (2021) placed the taxon Papilio bianor gladiator Fruhstorfer, 1902 as a synonym of nominate Papilio bianor . Fruhstorfer described ssp. gladiator based on a series of dark specimens which do not differ significantly from specimens from southern China . He treated occasional green-marked specimens as belonging to a separate species, Papilio polyctor Boisduval, 1836 , but these are the result of gene exchange between the two subspecies of Papilio bianor found in Yunnan . Intermediate specimens can be found through the area near the Red and Black River valleys.
