NOVITATEB ZOOLOGICAE XXIV. 1917. 427 



[Pere Allotte, who sent me the a type of the species, was convinced that 

 it was a hybrid between Troide-s priatnus urvilleariiis and Troides victoriae regis. 

 The underside of the ?, and the neuration of the fore wings in both (J and $, which 

 is exactly intermediate between the above two species, gives a great confirma- 

 tion of this idea ; however, the fact of the two known ^^ being exactly alike 

 and the great scarcity of hybrids in nature makes me doubt the correctness 

 of this theory. — Rothschild.]
