papilio hospiton

The Corsican Swallowtail, Papilio hospiton, is a species of butterfly in the Papilionidae family.

It can be distinguished from Papilio hospiton, which occurs sympatrically with it on Corsica and Sardinia, by the longer "tails" on the hind wings.

From April to October 1854 Staudinger collected in Sardinia with the intention to discover the larvae of Papilio hospiton in which he succeeded after many failures.
