being much mixed with black ones, and in the possterior red spots of the upperside 

 of the hindwing being more dusted over with black scales. From the Queensland 

 form, which has the head similar in colour, it differs in the white patches in the cell 

 of the hindwing and between veins 5 and 6 being as small as in theamlia. The 

 forms of polydorus from New Guinea, the L)"Entrecasteaux Islands, the Bismarck 

 Archipelago, and the Solomon Islands have black heads.

:i. Papilio euchenor neohannoveranus sulisj). nov. 



<S . Marginal spots on both wings larger than in either depilix or nocohiber- 

 nicKS. Forewing above with four subapical spots, more or less rounded, the last 

 small. Median band as in novohibernicus, but on forewing posteriorly narrower. 

 On underside of hindwing the orange-ochraceous luniform spots somewhat smaller 

 than in the race from New Ireland ; the black mark between veins 7 and 8 some- 

 what intermediate in form between depilis and novohibernicus, but nearer the 

 latter. 



? . Marginal and subapical spots as in J . Median band narrower than in 

 both the allied forms, shaded with brown at inner edge. On forewing all the 

 patches separated, in consequence of the veins being scaled black ; the spot between 

 submedian fold and vein 2 subrotundate, about 6 mm. wide, separated from the 

 patch before it by an interspace of lA mm. On hindwing the patch between veins 

 5 and more constricted than in nocohibernicus. Underside difi'ers as in S .

4. Papilio euchenor misimanus snbsji. nov. 



Close to P. euchenor intercastellanus Rothsch., but differs in the J having on 

 the upperside of the forewing four or five instead of three subapical spots, and in 

 the marginal spots of the underside of the hindwing being in S and especially in ? 

 smaller. The ? has generally 4 subajjical spots on the upperside of the forewing, 

 but there is one specimen in the series which has only three. The black colour of 

 underside of hindwing extends in <? along costal margin to near middle.

5. Papilio ulysses gabrielis subsp. nov. 



As large as ulysses from Amboina, the hindwing somewhat narrower anteriorly 

 and hence appearing more elongate : tails much broader. 



<?. Upperside. The blue area with a purj)lish sheen, the blue scales not so 

 dense as in the vialea of the other subspecies of ulysses, much intersjjersed with 

 black scales. On forewing the area occupies the greater half, or about two-thirds, 

 of the cell, and the basal portions of the interspaces between vein 5 and hinder 

 margin ; the postcellular patches are much shorter than in aufolycus and ulysses, 

 the tips of the last three being 19 mm., the tip of the small i)atcli before vein 3 

 about 20 mm. distant from edge of wing. In most specimens (inch of type) there 

 is a small blue patch before the base of vein 4, another before vein 5, and one or two 

 more beyond, and in front of, the upper angle of the cell. The hairy discal stripes 

 are very heavy, the four posterior ones touching each other lor about lo mm.
