Although the habitat of the subspecies macalpinei is not far from the habitat of the subspecies euphorion, both the male (the forewing submarginal band is not wavy) and the female (the coloration is completely different) are very different between subspecies. This is a remarkable example of subspecific differentiation. (Yasui)
