underside, spots R^ — M^ long, spot R' — W- being nearly four times as long as

c?. Forewing always with a large patch M' — SM-, consisting of two large spots, 

 both above and below, there being in most specimens a small white streak behind 

 SM-, and occasionally another streak in front of M' ; the white spots often larger 



on underside than on upper. Hiudwiug with five red spots, the second being the 



smallest, the third and fourth occasionally i)ale in centre, all the spots more or 

 less extended pinkish white on the underside of the wing ; often a series of white 

 submarginal bars present, the bars being usually more distinct above than below. 



¥ . Forewing : white cell-patch not reaching across cell ; white discal area 

 consisting of three patches R- — M'-, the upper patch small, the third as long as the 



middle one. Spots of hindwing larger than in male, red, sj)ots R^ — M' being 



whitish in centre ; marginal tooth R' obtuse, not longer than tooth R^.

129. Papilio trapeza spec. nov. (PI. V. fig. 15), 



c?. Body as in 1'. harmodius xeniades, but the hairs of the frons shorter. 



Wings, upperside. — Forewing proportionally narrower than in P. harmodius, 

 the hinder margin being shorter; a creamy, faintly greenish, patch, from hinder 

 margin towards M'-, which it does not reach, the second partition of this patch 

 broader and longer than in P. harmodius xeniades, reaching pro.ximally to vein 



SM.'. Hindwing more triangular than in P. harmodius, more acutely dentate, 



vein R- somewhat shorter tlian cell, while in P. harmodius this vein is as long as, 

 or longer than, cell ; white fringe-spots thinner ; three red spots from R^ to 

 abdominal margin, the first shaded over with black, the second elliptical, in one of 

 the specimens examined also shaded with black, the third spot much the largest, 

 being the same length as the second, but twice the width.
