21. Menelaides noblei ( Nicéville, 1889) ( Lee 1995: 48)

This is a false combination. Papilio noblei Nicéville, 1889 belongs to subgenus Araminta Moore, 1886 . Genitalic structure and phylogenetic research ( Condamine et al., 2023) proved its relationship with other Araminta species rather than Menelaides species. The confusion was likely caused by external morphological resemblance to Papilio helenus Linnaeus, 1758 .
