Very similar to Papilio cyproeofila but lacking white marginal spots on the hindwings. Also close to Papilio nobicea but differs slightly in its cream bands, which are also of a different shape (Larsen, 2005)."Tail-less black with a very broad white median band; in the male the median band initially invades the discoidal cell of the forewing.
