I was thinking about purchasing a pair of O. priamus ssp. from Salawati. I have seen this new subspecies offered for sale for some time now. My question, Is this indeed a new subspecies or an existing priamus subspecies that dealers are trying to make more appealing? If it is a new subspecies, does anyone know if this subspecies has been named? Thanks to everyone that replies. Norm M.  |

Greetings Norm,
It is my understanding that the population found on Salawati Island is considered the SAME as the mainland West Papua subspecies (Ornithoptera priamus poseidon), form locality Salawati.
Truly,

All the time there are people out there prepared to pay silly money for 'new' species and subspecies they will keep 'finding' them! Panzerman beware!  Dave |

"BTW I have Papilio machaon parisiensis PEQUIN 2011 for sale..."
Isn't this a synonym to P. machaon sarkozyensis?

Not at all, P. machaon sarkozyensis is a non-viable aberration ...

I have for sale the almost mythically rare aglais urticae yorkshireiensis ( yes it really DOES exist), many have looked but only I have found it, if interestd prices start at only £2500, dont confuse with common stuff like v tammeamea, this is much rarer, only found in the deepest, darkest corners of Barnsley, inhabited by cannibalistic, head hunting chavs where nobody hears you scream.
No timewasters or offers please, there is a limited supply of only 1000 pairs.

My favourite is ssp. carlabrunii anyway. Unfortunately I couldn't add it to my collection until now. Very hard to get.
Dunc: I think this would fit better in the cryptozoology thread.
