Verification and photographic documentation of two species of the genus Graphium Scopoli, 1777 from Uttar Pradesh, India, supplementing the updated Checklist of Graphium species in the Indian Subcontinent (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae)

Two species of the genus Graphium Scopoli, 1777, are rediscovered and documented from Uttar Pardesh in this paper. This research presents the first record of G. agamemnon (Linnaeus, 1758) and G. nomius (Esper, 1799) within Uttar Pradesh based on photographic evidence and field observations. The paper also supplements with updated checklist on Graphium species in Indian subcontinent. The discovery highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and documentation of Papilionoidea species, especially within protected areas, to enhance our understanding of their distribution and contribute to their conservation.
