Ornithoptera croesus croesus (Wallace, 1859)

Auctor:                         Wallace, 1859

Syn:                              sananaensis Tsukada & Nishiyama, 1980

Distribution:                  Bacan Is.

Etymology:                   Crösus/Kroisos was a wealthy mythological king (ref: croesus' gold spots).

Notes:                           The taxon sananaensis was described as a new ssp from Sanana Is. based on a single

                                   specimen (a female). It has always been regarded as a doubtful description, as no other specimens of croesus have been found in Sanana Is. and no Ornithoptera has ever been found West of Weber's line. In his Revision of the Genus Ornithoptera : 56, Mr Gilles Deslisle explains the true story behind the holotype. According to entomologist Greg Watson, the origin of the specimen was based on a joke by a commercial dealer (for the whole story, see Deslisle's paper).
