Talk:List of butterflies of India (Papilionidae)

message: Have added redirect pages for Princeps - > Papilio . Need to check the latest in Papilionid taxonomy and decide what stands, also author names may be needed here. Shyamal 03:11, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Interesting material here
Suggests that Princeps group and the Main Papilio group are distinct enough ! Although the current following seems to be for a lumping of the genera into Papilio. Shyamal 17:32, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Ceylon Rose has been excised fron the list since it is NOT an Indian species. However if I find any material, I shall continue to maintain it. AshLin 12:12, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Realised P.paris and P.p.tamilana cannot be counted as two different taxon. Probably have to combine their wikis in the future (regretfully). My species count is down to 70 Papilioninae and 14 Parnassinae ie total 84 species of Papilionids only. Grrr AshLin 13:18, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ouch, down to 70 (84) species now

:2.a. sub terminal red lunules present - P.krishna
:2.b. sub terminal red lunules absent
::3.a. blue patch confined to costa - P.paris
::3.b. blue patch large and present on a large portion ofthe HW - P.p. tamilana
1.b. No green lines joining blue patch to tornal occellus
:2.a. green wavy line above the tornal occulus - P.arcturus(Blue)
:2.b. no green wavy line above the tornal occulus - P.polyctor(Common)
