Yes these are 3 females and 1 male of Papilio bianor bianor (male upper right) summer form. From the dark hindwings I would say these specimens either come from eastern or northeastern Yunnan. By 'northeastern' I mean anywhere in the Yangtze river basin eastwards and north of the Red river valley (running diagonally across Yunnan and into northern Vietnam), as opposed to the Salween or Mekong valleys and the area south of the Red river valley. The bianor from these areas is generally much brighter in colour and belongs to ssp. gladiator.
Adam.
