Comment by [Bernard Rond].D treats it first as a sp, yet with some doubt. In the addenda and corrigenda of vol 1, published in vol 3of " butterflies of the neotropical region ", he says it is just a ssp of anchisiades.From the figure he gives, and from my personal data (I have specimens collected by me in Venezuelawhich are quite similar to that figure) it is just an individual form of a very variable species.

ALLEN M. YOUNG et al. in "NATURAL HISTORY AND ECOLOGICAL CHEMISTRYOF THE NEOTROPICAL BUTTERFLY PAPILlO ANCHISIADES" (1986) describe how the feeding of the closely related Papilio anchisiades throughout all instars was synchronous and nocturnal. In comparison I often witnessed Papilio erostratus larvae had solitary and diurnal feeding behavior.However I also witnessed they would feed together and also late in the evening.I do suppose they were also feeding at night since they had often changed roosting location in the mornings. |

Comment by [Bernard Rond].tasso is another very doubtful taxon. In 1910, S says that only a few old specimens are known,but without precising where they are kept. D says there not a single one remaining in any Museumnor collection known. Obviously no other specimen has been collected since Staudinger. This taxonlooks like a legend... Hybrid or aberration ?
Comment by [Bernard Rond].peleides is still more doubtful. S & D says that it is only known through Esper's drawing.Probably an aberration.

A comment by [Bernard Rond]. In 1981, D. publishes a photograph of the only specimen known, quite worn-out, with half an hindwing missing.He supposes this taxon could be a ssp. of cleotas, unknown from Mexico so far. I don't agree with him for tworeasons : 1) the pattern of this specimen is fairly different from all the other ssp of cleotas and it showsa tail on the hindwing that no other ssp possesses. 2) in all its range, cleotas is fairly common and I see noreason why a mexican ssp should be so rare as to be discovered in 1975 only. M. also figures a specimen,but of brand new aspect. Yet I don't know if it is a second (or more) specimen, collected after 1981,or if it is a rectified picture, since all the pictures in [BW8] are digital.He says nothing about the number of specimens known. Same as for judicael, he considers diazi as an hybrid,between P. victorinus morelius and P. garamas garamas this time.I don't have enough data about this taxon to make an opinion.
A comment by [Bernard Rond]. This sp. is tremendously interesting. S. in 1910, and still D. in 1981, say that the type from Oberthüris the only specimen known, and it was so far considered as a an aberration or an hybrid.But several specimens have been recently collected, fully similar to the type. I saw two of them.So judicael is indoubtedly a good species. I can't agree with E. Möhn who says (in[BW8]), quite arbitrarily, that judicael could be an hybrid of P. menatius eurotas (= aristeus bitias) and P. warscewiczi mercedes. In such a case the specimens recently collected should be quite somewhatdifferent from the type collected two centuries earlier.
