Abstract
A new tailed female form of Papilio memnon caught in the Malay peninsula is reported. It is suggested that it arose as the result of a crossover within the supergene controlling female polymorphism in the species. This makes the seventh known example of such an event.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
