To be frank, that would take up a book. The list of subspecies by regions in Dietz (2005) takes up 3 pages without including the distribution of each subspecies. In order to rearrange your specimens I recommend you take a look at Dietz (2005), Weiss (1999) and Rose & Weiss (2011). The latter publication is an updated version of the second, and contains a list of subspecies with type localities and synonyms covering 3 double column pages of the large format book.
If it is of any help Rose & Weiss (2011) divide mnemosyne into 10 regions, as follows:
Fenno-Scandinavia; Central Europe; Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Russia; The Balkans; Alps; Italy; France; Caucasus; Turkey-Iran; Central Asia.

Hello Adam,
Thank you for the info on the books,I've got P.mnemosyne from several parts of Italy and it's very confusing,hardly any info on the net.
I've got several books on Parnassius sp,I will look into the ones on in your response.
Thanks again.

Pleasure to help, as always. If I actually had a simple list of the type you asked for I would have posted it, but I haven't worked on the synonymy of P. mnemosyne yet.
Adam.
