Papilio rumanzovia
So I didn't have to delete my first suggestion?? ;-)... I am really not sure if #2 is a different one. The body seems to have a more brownish touch and the wings have some more lines. I suggest that such similar ones should be forbidden!
Let's see what others mean...
I think the photos posted here are of 2 different species. The first one scarlet mormon and the second one great mormon.
Complete confusion!! This one has to be checked by others. I think it might actually be Papilio rumanzovia and I do something which I probably never have done before: I cancel a suggestion just to make it "easier" for others, than it must be one of the two species!
The only thing about this one is that all pictures on the web are difficult to judge about their reliability. Many a wrongly IDed. I think it is the Common Mormon, often seen in butterfly houses and quite similar to Papilio lowi and Papilio rumanzovia which obviously are sometimes also mixed up. It would be the male.

Has to be verified!
