Toussaint,2015 described Polyura paulettae by mainly DNA analysis without differences in external morphology, such as genitalia, are unknown. Furthermore, a detailed comparison with many known taxa such as Polyura athamas and arja seems necessary. I tentatively treat this taxon as paulettae, however further taxonomic study is needed.
