As I posted above, if stichopthalma devyatkini appears they won't be cheap, well they have appeared, males starting bid around $80 and females $225, still as it was only discovered last year it's not surprising. I'll be waiting a while for a few pairs of these at a more affordable price, for these prices there are Papilio species I'd rather get for my main collection, I have noticed a few stichopthalma fruhstorferi on eBay recently but only 3.

Yes I've seen those, there was a couple of A1 that went buy it now for $225, almost straight away, those are A1-/A-, still very nice. To me they look very similar to the stichopthalma Mathilda specimens coming out of vietnam with white markings on the hindwing, the Laos specimens are lighter brown in the hind wings. Looking at the Mathilda from Thailand, Laos and Vietnam they are extremely variable or different species / sub species, being smaller in the north of the range getting larger and darker further south, I'll get some eventually to examine and post photos on here for comparison.
