to contend with in the mountains of Central Japan that bears a similar 

 relation to P. alcinous, Klug., and P. mencus, Feld., as we find in P. 

 lama, Ober.; P. phttonius, Ober., and P. j'anak, Moore. 



Papilio potamoniantiSy n. sp. — Male allied to P. laterillianus, Godt., 

 and P. cyrnus, Boisd., but smaller. On the upper side of the fore wings 

 there is a series on the submarginal space of fourteen small canary-green 

 (or yellow) elongated spots ; in P. cyrnus there are only seven, but they 

 are larger ; the outer spots in the discoidal cell are differently shaped, 

 especially the larger spot, which is shorter and broader ; there are also 

 two additional small, roundish spots at the inner end of the large spot 

 (sometimes one of these spots is present in the same position in the female 

 of P. laterillianus). The hind wings have the outer margin more pointed 

 in the middle than either of the above species, and on the under side the 

 most notable features are the heavy cast of crimson at the base of both 

 pairs of wings, and the very light brown shading on the outer margin of 

 the hind wings.

I dedicate this handsome specimen to I'otamon, the founder of the 

 great schools at Alexandria, in ancient Egypt. 



Eudamus Boisduvalii, n. sp. — Male allied to E. autceus, Hew. The 

 ground colour on the upper side of all the wings is a uniform brown ; in 

 the middle of the costa there is a small orange spot, below this there is a 

 truncate yellowish semitransparent spot ; in the limbal area there are 

 three small round spots of the same colour ; on the lower submarginal 

 vein just below the limbal area there is a well-defined orange spot. 



Hind wings : In the median cell of the outer submarginal space there 

 are two small elongated orange spots; all fringes light buff; the under 

 side of palpi is light brown ; thorax and legs reddish-brown ; abdomen 

 buff, with a faint brown lateral band. Under side of fore wings the same 

 as above, but much lighter ; on the under side of hind wings the ground 

 colour is a rich chocolate-brown, and across the disc there are two silvery- 

 white bars, in the outer bar the two orange spots so conspicuous above 

 are here repeated.
