Table 2 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

Table 2. Characters for the differentiation of G. c. malayanum Eliot, 1982 (M) and G. b. bathycloides (Honrath, [1884]) (B) as given by Eliot (1982), and as interpretated by Wilson et al. (2014) for the six specimens of Graphium Scopoli, 1777 they examined, shown alongside the correct interpretation for the same specimens.
