Coordinator notes: This waa a bit difficult because of so little of the specimen left but it could only be one of two species, Papilio glaucus or Papilio multicaudata. I decided this was the remnants of a male P. multicaudata because of the thinner nature of the first black stripe in the forewings, the more ochreous yelow background color, and the habitat where found dead-in a dry creek bed--typical P. multicaudata habitat.
