6) Prothoe franck ssp. (Blue Begum). The ssp. is difficult to ascertain as KK is at the meeting point of the three known ssp. found in Thailand, and no records are available from that area as far as I can see. In due course, a specimen will need to be collected to confirm which ssp. it is! The strong white forewing stripe on the underside suggests it is more likely to be a southern record of P. franck angelica, but there is very little info on this ssp. (only one record from Tablan, Umphang in 2010.

Nelson, your photos 19, 20 & 21 (Post No. 34) are the same ssp. as found in Malaysia.

I also need to apologise to all about using the wrong English names of the Zebras (you all know that I do not usually use them!). Nelson, your No.13 in post 19 should be Graphium megarus megapenthes (Spotted Zebra). The Lesser Zebra, not yet posted on this thread, in KK, is Graphium macareus burmensis, a different subspecies from that found in Malaysia, which, during the trip I called the Common Zebra, WRONG!!!!.

I did a check on the Yutaka website, & this should be ssp. uniformis.
Ss. uniformis: longer tail; larger FW apical white spots : smaller dark brown area on the hindwing.
Ssp. uniformis.
