Lamproptera curius curius ( Fabricius, 1787 ) Recorded distribution: Yunnan and Sichuan (Wu 2001: 186) Note: Almost all available literature listed L. curius curius from S. Yunnan , Indo-China, Malay Peninsula, to Sumatra . However, such subspecies delimitation and range is facing an inevitable challenge now. Hu et al. (2014) discussed the identity of the type specimen of L. curius in BMNH, which is a female L. meges annamiticus (Fruhstorfer, 1909) with bleached median band. By analysing the diary of Koenig (1894) , Chanthaburi of Thailand was designated as the type locality of L. curius . This issue questions whether the nominotypical L. curius actually occurs in China . Further comparison between all Chinese populations and the Chanthaburi population using morphological and molecular characters is required, as well as resolution of the resultant nomenclatural problem.
