|
N Borneo female ssp albolineatus |
Common and widespread from N India and Nepal to S China
(ssp chaon and rileyi) south through Thailand
(ssp. ducenarius), Laos, Vietnam and the Malay peninsula (ssp. annulus
and sunatus), Sumatra and Borneo (ssp. albolineatus), Java
(the nominate race), and islands west of Sumatra: (ssp uranus, tellonus,
siporanus)
. P. nubilus is felt to be a rare natural
hybrid with
P polytes from Sumatra and
N Borneo, but this is not clear. P chaon
may be a ssp. or form of nephelus.
