Catarman, Samar, Philippines; 2/81 |
Common and widespread from N India through S China, Burma,
Thailand, Vietnam and Loas, south through the Malay peninsula to much of
Indonesia and the Philippines. The Philippine race, alphenor, has
been regarded as a distinct species, as have walkeri (S India) and
sakontala
(N India). The last two are rather rare. Female is polymorphic and mimetic,
quite distinct from the male (shown).
