Taxonomy
The taxonomic position of P. a. antiphus is uncertain. It is regarded as conspecific with Pachliopta aristolochiae by Tsukada and Nishiyama (1982) and Fujioka et al. but recognized as a separate species by Page & Treadaway (1995).
Papilio aristolochiae subspecies poseidippus Fruhstorfer, 1911 and Papilio aristolochiae subspecies kameiros Fruhstorfer, 1911 are both treated as junior synonyms of Pachliopta antiphus antiphus (Fabricius, 1793) by Page & Treadaway (1995)
