1117. Papilio acheron Smiili; Iiotli>cli., Ix. \\. "uW. 



?. Ill Dr. Staudinger's collection, fVimi Kiiia liilii. Dift'er.s from the mala 

 e.specially in the larger ochreou.s area in the anal region of the underside of the 

 hindwings; thi.s area is extended to the margin and includes three marginal, two 

 suhmarginal, and three subdisca! round black patches ; behind subcostal nervule 

 there is a small ochraceons submai-ginal spot. 



121 (/() Papilio canopus tenimberensis liothsch. sutep. nov. 



A male specimen in Dr. Staudinger's collection diti'ers from the other subspecies 

 o^ amopus Westw. as follows : — 



Of the size of large specimens of ccDwpus Westw. Band to forewings as in 

 certain examples of hypaiclides Rothsch. ; the two first spots largest, the following 

 two somewhat shorter, the other four nearly equal in size. The band on the hindwings 

 nearly as in F. hipponous Feld. ; spots 3 and 4 the longest, measuring 9 mm., the 

 first spot larger than the last one ; anal orange spot indistinct ; no submarginal spots. 



On the underside the band of the forewings is broader than above, esfiecially 

 spots 5 to 8 ; the hindwings have a complete series of sharply defined more or less 

 orange-coloured submarginal. spots, as in cctnopus Westw. 



Tails long and strongly spatulate, much broader than in hypsiclides Rothsch. 

 and canopinua Rothsch. 



The form of the tail and the broad band of the hindwings are llie principal 

 characters of this subspecies.

125 (fif). Papilio polytes nicanor l-Vld. ; Rotlisch., I.e. \k 3.54. 



Dr. Staudinger sent me several females from Batjan which are of the pattern of 

 the ma(e, and prove that nicanor ? is not monomorphic, but dimorphic. The two 

 forms of the female I propose to call : — 



(r/i) : ? -f. manzer mihi. 

 Similar to the male. 



(r'j : ? -f. ii/picus mild. 

 Equivalent to P. polytes alphenor ?-f. alphenor Cram. 



Types in my collection. 



Of the first /e«ia/e-form Dr. Staudinger possesses a specimen in which the 

 submarginal spots to the hindwings are enlarged and the discal spots reduced ; the 

 discal and submarginal spots are connected with one anotlier by means of scattered 

 huffish scales on the uii|)erside ; beneath, these huffish scales are so dense between 

 veins 2 and 5 that there are longitudinal bands in the posterior cellules. The 

 mandnal spots of the forewings are enlarged in this specimen, chiefly those near 

 hinder angle. 



In a specimen of the second form of the female the submarginal red spots of the 

 hindwings are confluent with the discal red markings, and form long and broad 

 longitudinal streaks.
