Abstract

A total of 12 species of the Oriental mimetic swallowtail genus, Chilasa, was studied. Comparative morphological analysis of the male and female genitalia supported monophyly of the genus Chilasa. It also became clear that the genus is made up of 5 monophyletic species-groups and one enigmatic group. This result was almost consistent with the phylogenetic hypothesis based on molecular analysis of genomic nucleotide sequences.
