Allancastria louristana
Vazrick Nazari and Frédéric Carbonell
Introduction
The life history and genitalia of A. louristana (Type locality: Louristan, “Perse”) have been studied by Carbonell (1996a). Blom and Eisner (1979) described A. l. boyrahmadensis (Type locality: Yasuj, Iran) based on differences in a few morphological characters; this name was later synonymized with the nominal population (Carbonell, 1996a; Nazari, 2003). Carbonell and Karbalaye (1998) map the records of A. louristana (and some other Aristolochia-feeding species), in relation to the distribution of Aristolochia in Iran.
Larval Food Plant
Aristolochia olivieri, as well as the recently recorded Aristolochia bottae (from the northen part of the distribution of Allancastria louristana) are known as the larval food plants of this species (Carbonell, 1996a, 1996b).
