Papilio Polytes Javanus - Common Mormon

This is an unusual classification for this butterfly in my opinion, classed as a sub-species of polytes which has long tails. Although you can see the presence of very stunted tails, I believe it is closer in appearance to memnon, the great Mormon. However, with the significant form and color differences, I believe it should have had its own species name.

Location is Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. Alongside a stream and paddy fields.
