Bailey's Apollo, ''Parnassius baileyi'', is a high altitude butterfly which is found in S.W. China (Sichuan, northern Yunnan and eastern Tibet). It is a member of the snow Apollo genus ''Parnassius'' of the swallowtail family, Papilionidae. The taxonomic status of this butterfly is uncertain. ''Parnassius baileyi'' was originally described as a subspecies of ''Parnassius acco,'' later as a subspecies of ''P. rothschildianus'' Bryk, 1931 and also ''P. przewalskii''(Alpherakyi 1887), and now also treated as a separate species (Weiss 1992), (Chou, 1994). molecular studies suggest it is the sister species of ''Parnassius acco''. The butterfly was named for Frederick Marshman Bailey who collected the first specimens. ==Subspecies== *''Parnassius baileyi baileyi'' *''Parnassius baileyi bubo'' Bryk, 1938 *''Parnassius baileyi rothschildianus'' Bryk, 1931 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Parnassius baileyi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
