Lamproptera curius yangtzeanus Hu & Cotton ssp. nov. ( Figure 4 , C–E) Description: ♁. Forewing length: 21–22 mm . Forewing upperside: basal half, costa, and termen black; median white band accompanied by transparent band with black veins running through; median black band slightly narrows towards tornus but never broken; distal half transparent with black veins running through. Hindwing upperside: black with white median band, cilia, and tail tip, tornal area scattered with white scales, scent scales cream white. Hindwing underside: similar to upperside, base densely peppered with greyish white scales; basal one third greyish white, followed by three transverse greyish white bands in tornal area; median white band and other markings as upperside. ♀ . Forewing length: 24–25 mm . Forewing broader, ground colour black with brownish hue; underside greyish markings in both wings larger and clearer than those in male. Differential diagnosis: Larger than ssp. walkeri in size, forewing length: ♂ 21–22 mm , ♀ 24–25 mm . Forewing median black band slightly narrows towards tornus, unlike hsinningae ssp. nov., but never broken as in ssp. walkeri ; median white band on both wings equal to that of ssp. hsinningae , but broader than that in ssp. walkeri . Type material: HOLOTYPE : ♂, Forest Park ( 1,460 m ), Dongchuan , Kunming , 26.1031°N , 103.2045°E , 2013-VIII-4 , X. Zhang leg. [ SJH ] . PARATYPES : 1♂, the same collecting data as the holotype; 5♂♂, 1♀ , the same locality as the holotype , 2013-IX-8 , S. J. Hu & X. Zhang leg.

Holotype currently housed in the Shao-Ji Hu collection. Distribution: Currently only found from the Yangtze watershed of N.E. Yunnan and Sichuan , China . It flies with L. paracurius Hu, Zhang & Cotton, 2014 at the type locality. Etymology: The subspecies name is named after the Yangtze River, which the stream near the type locality eventually runs into. The subspecies name is a masculine adjective. Discussion: Subspecies hsinningae and yangtzeanus are very similar in appearance but genetically distinct, forming separate clades within the species mtDNA ( cox1 barcodes) tree not directly related to each other.
