title: Table 1 in Morphological and genetic analyses verify the occurrence of the butterfly Graphium chironides (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) in Peninsular Malaysia and resolve the confusion on the validity of its subspecies malayanum Eliot, 1982

description: Table 1 (continued on next page). Descriptions of wing characters measured. Characters are illustrated with their numerical codes in Fig. 1.

§ Units for measurements: mm (linear), mm 2 (area), degrees (angle). * Hindwing underside orange spot in space 1b
omitted because the hindwing tends to fold near the dorsum, partially occluding the spot.
