0S4 KoVrTATES ZOOLOOICAE XXII. 1915. 



with wliite, costal margin ImS' as far as covered by forcwiug, abdominal margin iur 

 the larger part white, at anal angle a white patch divided by two blackish bars, at, 

 vein M'' a white snbraarginal ditiuse spot. 



The M«f/tVA'«/t' paler brown than the ui)per, witli a slight pnrplish tint, while 

 fringe-spots conspicnons, otherwise no distinct markings ; forewing in onter half 

 with tbree diffnse and very obsenre darker lirown bands, whicl), apparently, also rnn 

 across the hindwing (this wing mnch abraded in onr specimen). 



Tenth tergite not divided longitndinally, ending in a slender pointed hook 

 (text-fig. S, X. t.) ; tenth sternite broader than the apical portion of the tergite, 

 ronnded at the tip (text-fig. 4, X.st, dorsal aspect), the sides being bent npwards, 

 so tliat the sternite forms a channel. Clasper on the onter snrface with a crest 

 of elongate erect friction-scales which lean distad ; harpe (text-tig. 6, H) very 

 character! siic, being produced into two processes, one process being ventral and 

 bearing some minute teeth at the ti[>, the other jirocess directed upwards, being 

 curved in sickle-shape and gradually narrowing to a sharp point. The penis-sheath, 

 as in P. buclilwliii has no definite ajiical process as in P. natalensis Butl. (1875). 



We received this interesting species from M. H. Donckier de Donzell, together 

 with some Papilios and other true Oriental species, and have no reason to doubt that 

 the specimen came from Cambodia.

In the Revision of the Sphiiigidae, I.e., we placed the ? with bicolor Roths. 

 (1894). The forewings of this specimen are rather worn, and do not well show 

 the black subajiical spot by which mn/or and the two species mentioned below 

 are distinguished from bicolor. 



Head and thorax tawny olive, being slightly jialer Ijchiw than above; aVidomen 

 ]iale ochraceous buff. 



Antennae slender and short, lateral and ventral outlines in c? almost straight, 

 the segments being bnt very slightly dilated laterally above the side-groove and 

 ventrally not incurved. One pair of spurs to hindtibia. 



S. Wings, upperside : Forewing clay-colour, j)aler than the thorax, shaded with 

 purplish grey, in ])roximal half two parallel lines, the anterior one crossing cell 

 at point of origin of lower median vein, the lines more obliqne than in bicolor, 

 in outer half an apical streak running into the disc as far as lower radial (vein 4), 

 a diffuse double line from outside lower angle of cell to hindmargin and another 

 farther distal, blackish brown like antemedian lines, continued to costal margin 

 by diffuse clayish lines ; marginal area shaded with purplish grey, except the 

 posterior portion, which is cinnamon-colour ; black subaj>icaUjspot very distinct, 

 with a cloud of pnrplish grey scales at its proximal side; cell measured from 

 liase to lower angle as long as upper median vein ; distal margin concave below 

 apex, then very distinctly convex. Hindwing bright cinnamon-rufous, jialer
