Distribution:
commonly found in areas to the west of Ailao Shan in Yunnan; also found from N.E.
India
to
Kachin State
of
Myanmar
and parts of N. Indochina.
Note:
In the original description of
ssp.
triumphator
Fruhstorfer
included series of specimens from Sikkim and Assam, plus a single specimen from each of N.
Vietnam
and S.E.
Thailand
. He specifically stated that Sikkim and Assam specimens are different and was proposing
triumphator
for the other population to that named
Papilio ganesa
by
Doubleday (1842)
, the
type
of which he had not examined. Since the Sikkim population belongs to
ssp.
ganesa
the
type
locality of
ssp.
triumphator
is effectively Assam by implication (
Cotton
et al
. 2021
).
