There are 3 apparently valid subspecies of Meandrusa sciron:
sciron (Leech, 1890) (type locality Western China ... Huang-mu-chang)
hajiangensis Funahashi, 2003 (type locality Hajiang alt. 1200m, N. Vietnam)
splendens (Huang, 1995) (type locality Dazhulan, Jianyang, Fujian Prov. of China, 1000 m.)
There is also a synonym of the nominate subspecies
abaensis Sugiyama, 1994 (type locality N.-Mt Signian, Sichuan, China)
Your specimen from GonggaShan is the nominate subspecies, sciron.
Adam.
