Description
Butterfly kinds in a tangled group are sorted by gene data by the authors in work dated 2024. The Aporia agathon group holds some of the biggest pierids of the Sino-Himalaya. Looks had blurred kind lines for years. Full mitochondrial genomes gave a sharper lens. Five names rose to full kind rank, and three sank to sub-kind of one wide kind.
Two fresh sub-kinds were named as well. Dark wash and yellow tinge, the old sorting traps, proved poor marks. Photos of both sexes' parts back the new scheme. Kind counts in the genus shift here.
