About Parides proneus (Hübner, 1831)
Parides proneus (Hübner, 1831) displays the following morphological traits in both males and females. Both pairs of wings bear a narrow white band. The red submarginal spots on the hindwing are straight or slightly curved, and the anal spot is not v-shaped. There is no discal spot located proximal to the anal submarginal spot. The width of the central band on the hindwing, and the number of spots that make up this band, are variable. A complete formal description of this species was published by Rothschild, W. and Jordan, K. in 1906. For its life cycle, the larva of Parides proneus feeds on Aristolochia melastoma.
