I suppose we have to wait for DNA analysis to be completed. However, do we know for sure that DNA is the be all and end all for species identification?Originally Posted by Psyche
They do look like good species to me, but I guess the male genitalia is identical in all three taxa.
This brings me to a burning question. How sure are they the forms of Papilio paradoxa (should be paradoxus -male gender) are not two different species.
After all, the males of Appias nero, paulina & albina have identical male genintalia but nobody in his right mind would consider them the same species.
