 this area and the black distal margin. The white spots of the hindwing all 

 close to the cell, being usually long, the one situated before the first median 

 vein mostly very long and triangularly pointed ; many specimens with a small 

 cell-dot. Hindwing rather more extended red than in P. a. ceylonicus Moore 

 (1881) and P. a. aristolochiae Fabr. (1775).

 hardly paler than the S ; the white spots of the hindwing close to the cell, usually 

 narrow, the first discal one small and linear, placed close to the cell, or absent, 

 the third shorter than its distance from the submargiual spot ; most specimens with 

 a small cell-spot, which is more often absent above than beneath ; the red sub-

^17. Papilio aristolochiae floresianus subsp. nov.
