Very similar to Papilio (Druryia) chrapkowskii, but pale mottling and submarginal spots below not so well developed. Cilia of forewing black, not white, as in Papilio (Druryia) chrapkowskii. A somewhat unstable race with frequent transitions to the two previous races: Papilio bromius and Papilio (Druryia) chrapkowskii.
