Note: Previously treated as Cyclosia papilionaris autralinda for the south Indian population. However, as mentioned by Yen at al.2003, and further confirmed by the different larva for C. papilionaris and C. latipennis, on this website, Cyclosia latipennis needs to be treated as a separate species (Updated on 17 October 2020).
