22. Papilio gigon neriotes subsp. nov. 



c7 ? . Forewing: with miniate snbmarginal dots on the upperside and a continuous 

 snbmarginal undulated ereani)- band on the under surface ; the marginal dots of 

 the hind wing beneath larger than in specimens oi gigon from Celebes.

23. Papilio euchenor misolensis subsp. nov. 



1$. Similar to small specimens of /'. eadunor euchenor, but tlie blue spots on 

 the underside of the hindwing are absent, except the last, which is represented by 

 a restricted number of bine scales, there being also about half a dozen pale bine 

 scales below the costa in one of the specimens.

Papilio euchenor is a near ally of P. demolion and gigon. 



24. Papilio euclienor naucles subsp. nov. 



(?. Similar to P. e. obsolescens Rothsch. (189.5) from Arn ; the yellow band 

 of the forewing wider ; the cell-patch reaching to tiie point of origin of the first 

 median vein or below it, the base of cellule R^ — M' not black, the patch M' — M- 

 proximally less rounded. 



? . Apparently not constantly different from obsolescens ; the third radial vein 

 of the forewing, which separates the two yellow discal patches, not black in between 

 these patches ; the partitions of the yellow area of the hindwing, which are situated 

 below the apex of the cell, longer than in obsolescens.

2.5. Papilio euchenor rosselanus subsp. nov. 



S. Similar to P. e. misimnni/s Rothsch. (1896); discal band of forewing 

 broader, being as wide as in P. e. godarti Montr. (1856) from "Woodlark; the patch 

 R^ — R^ of this band on the forewing (the fourth from behind) about twice as long 

 as its distance from the outer margin ; the third snbapical spot longer than 

 in misimanus, but shorter than in godarti and widened behind, being somewhat 

 hook-shaped ; the row of three snbapical spots is continued (on upperside) by one 

 or two dots. On the hindwing there is an oblique streak in front of the snbcostal 

 vein emanating from the yellow area. This streak corresponds to the subcostal 

 snbmarginal ochreous bar, which is also very obliipie.

26. Papilio euchenor sudestensis subsp. nov. 



(?. Like the preceding subspecies, differing in the following details : on the 

 forewing none of our four sjiecimens have a discal spot in front of the second radial 

 vein, the first eubapical spot is shorter and mostly also broader, being nearly as in 

 misimanus ; the subcostal bar of the upperside of the hindwing is vestigial ; on 

 the undtrside this bar is posteriorly not produced so far basad as in rosselanus, 

 remaining at the subcostal vein at least 2 mm. distant from the yellow area,
