Line 22:
Race ''axion'', Felder (Malayan region and Himalayas) Can be distinguished from race ''jaso''n as follows:—The markings that compose the discal band very much broader; all the spots and markings of pale green and white conspicuously larger, especially in the spring broods. Underside of hind wing: crimson spots more conspicuous, a line of crimson along the posterior portion of the dorsal margin; in most specimens the short subbasal narrow band of white that runs from the costa to the subcostal vein does not coalesce with the white of the discal band where it crosses the cell.<ref name="bingham"/>
==Life
===Larva===
"Very like that of ''P. agamemnon'', but the second pair of spines is entirely wanting and the third pair, which in ''agamemnon'' is rather long, curved and sharp, is reduced in this species to mere knobs encircled with a black ring. The colour is generally black or smoky until the last moult and then dull green, inclining to rusty brown on the sides, but some of our specimens remained quite black to the end." (Davidson and Aitken quoted in Bingham, 1907)
