Abstract
Alpheraky(1887) was named and described Parnassius przewalskii in letter only, without figure. Three years later, in Romanoff's "Memoires sur lepidoptere, vol.5", he(1889) published the pictures of type specimen in monochrome. Recently, however, I was discovered Romanoff's "Memoires sur les lepidoptere, vol.5" with hand-coloured pictures. Comparing the handcoloured picture of Parnassius przewalskii TYPE with already published pictures as Parnassius prezewalskii or Parnassius acco prezewalskii. As result, the Topotype pair collected in the year 1884, preserved in Leiden Museum have closed resemblance with type specimen picture. Further, I investigate type locality of the species after detailed examined the 4th Expedition of Przewalsky, I think it is altitude 4,600m near the pass Байбучи N34℃ 45' E97°55' in Bourkhane Bouddha Mts.
