spots only, the secoml from base being iibsent ; b;iud of hindwing T mm. wide at 

 subcosta ; submargiiial spots very small. 



Undersiilc : submargiiial spots to Initli \viiit;'s small, those of the hiiidwiugs 

 especially minute as compared with the spots of the other Papuan races ; the two 

 additional linear spots near the second submarginal mark of the hindwing 1 mm. long; 

 the red markings as large as in ru/ypi/lus euri/pi/lux ; cell with a white and red spot 

 in the apex; the subbasal white fascia extending, as in the Moluccan form, from 

 the costid margin to the subcosta, and at the costa of 1^ mm. breadth. 



? . Like the male ; median band posteriorly A mm. wider ; cell (above) witii 

 three markings only, the two basal ones being absent. 



Hab. Kei Toeal (Little Kei Island), collected by Capt. H. Cayley Webster, 

 January to March ISOO. 



Varies in the number of markings present in the cell of tlie forewings; one 

 of the sijecimens has only the comma-shaped spot marked on the upperside. The 

 spot in the apex of the cell of the hindwing below is sometimes absent. 



A very remarkable aberration from the same locality is the following one : — 



ab. rufinus ab. nov. 



On the underside of the hindwing there is, besides the costal red mark before 

 the costal nervure, a heavy red bar between this spot and the subcosta, reminding 

 one strongly of the red bar found in P. sarpedon L. 



The Kei Islands form of F. eurypijliis L. is distinguished from the New Guiuean 

 race by the much narrower median band of the wings, the larger red markings of the 

 underside, the smaller submarginal spots, and the broader subbasal white fascia of 

 the hindwing below; from 1'. eurypylus euri/jrf/his \j. from the Moluccas it differs 

 in the absence of one or more cellular spots from the tbrewing above and in the 

 small submarginal spots to the hindwing below.
