Genus Parnassius

Dear colleagues, I am sending you an article by our French comrades. In my opinion, the article is an example of how to work with literature. I don't completely agree with permutations (internally-in the soul, so to speak), but the article is super. I hope for your comments and thoughts

camchadalus + swallowtail gives fertile offspring

This is literature data. There is a link in the Red Data Book of the Kamchatka Territory. I personally caught camchadalus, suckled the caterpillars, and hatched them from their pupae. In the same biotope, both tailed swallowtails and short-tailed swallowtails fly, and they have the same food plant (hogweed). All collected caterpillars from the first to the last molt are the same, pupae too. Both tailed and short-tailed butterflies emerge from the pupae. I've been trapping imagos for two natural generations. The same picture. In any case, since such a conversation has already begun, the difference between these "species" should be in the genetalia. For the sake of interest, I will reveal both. I'll unsubscribe the result.

By the way, the question has been tormenting me for a long time - if by Ace
ssp. moscovitus Bryk & Eisner, 1938 - the C. European part (from Moscow, Tula, Vladimir, Ivanovo, Nizhniy Novgorod up to Volgograd);
ssp. democratus Krulikowsky, 1906 - the NE. European part (Kirov, Perm, Izhevsk, Vjatka, Elabuga, Yoshkar-Ola);
in the Nizhny Novgorod region, Moscovitus, and in Tatarstan - democratus - what is the subspecies in Chuvashia??? In theory, there should be a democratus (Yoshkar-Ola is 70 km away, Nino is 250 km away)
What is the subspecies on the border of Chuvashia and the Nizhny Novgorod region??? If you take administrative-territorial borders (which is stupid)- to the Sura River-moscovitus, and beyond it-democratus??? If the subspecies border follows the Volga River watershed (Nizhny Novgorod up to Volgograd - - - - - - - - Elabuga, Yoshkar-Ola), then it turns out that in the south of the Nizhny Novgorod region (to the south of the Volga) - Moscovitus, in the north - democratus???
Who can clarify this question?

I understand from all the debates I have on the Middle Volga Ulyanovsk region. vows Parnassius apollo democratus. a moscowitus above listed areas.

Moscovitus you have an Ace. But it's best to put this nonsense out of your head

This is what Weiss looks like

here is my 56 region according
to the p.a.democratus table.

I have seen the description of this gurkoensis... not convincing. Images of butterflies are hand-drawn (a la an art lesson in the 1st grade) and scanned. There is no map.

Here is an article describing gurkoensis, there was no scanner at hand, so I took a picture.

I was bullied by Resize. cut the table in half, still resizes to almost complete unreadability of labels.
