?. Ujijjcrsifle : forewiiig, the yellowish or creamy white area more extended, 

 the spots between veins 6 and 9 much more clearly defined ; hindwing, the sub- 

 marginal orange spots heavier, in the pale specimens densely shaded with black 

 scaling. I'ndersixh : forewiiig, white patch in cell much larger, extending far 

 below origin of vein 2 ; hiudwiiig, upper patch of white discal area a long triangle, 

 reaching below origin of nervule 7, sometimes the cell all white : submarginal 

 orange spots larger than in tijdeus. 



A long series of both sexes. 



4. Papilio fuscus ombirauus subsp. no v. 



(??. L'jipcrside : forewiug with a large well-defined creamy white subapical 

 patch, expanding between veins 10 and 5, and generally extending down to the inner 

 margin as a more or less thin interrupted band. Creamy white area varying in 

 extent, reaching in every specimen at least to vein 2, always relatively wider than 

 in the Southern Moluccan fuscus ; the second patch, between veins 6 and 7, always 

 considerably longer than the black marginal area is wide between the same veins; 

 the buffish grey scaling outside the discal patch sparser than m fuscus from Amboina 

 and Ceram; usually no orange submarginal sjiots in S S , excejit a very thin one at 

 anal angle {t;/pe), which is absent only from an aberrant S without white patch on 

 forewing ; one 6 and the ? ? have from two to five submarginal spots. 



Underside: the white patch of forewiug smaller than above. Hhidwing, discal 

 blue spots more distal than either in the North or South Moluccan /«s<.-«6-; discal 

 white patch very variable in both sexes, often overshaded with black scales {ti/pe), 

 or the white scales even nearly all absent. 



A very long series. 



5. Papilio ulysses dohertius subsp. nov. 



<S. i'ppcrside : forewiug like telegonas from the Northern Moluccas, but the 

 hairy stripe upon vein 4 a little less heavy, nearly separated from the next one; the 

 stripes upon veins 5 to 7 well isolated. Hindwing nearly as in aatohicus from New 

 Guinea, the blue area being mucli more extended than in teleyotius; the area dee|)ly 

 incised at the veins, and prolonged along the hinder side of veins 5 and 6, as is the 

 case sometimes in autohjcus; no blue submarginal streaks as m telegoiius. 



Underside: deeper in colour than in either telet/onus or autohjcus ; forewiug 

 with grey patch in cell, outer discal grey scaling as in telcgonus. Discal grey 

 scaling of hindwing scattered as in autohjcm: submarginal yellow spots as in 

 telegonus, the upper one somewhat larger; submarginal pale brown area narrower 

 than in that subspecies. 



Three males only. 



QEOMETRIDAE. 



(i. Milionia obiensis sp. nov. 



c??. Wings above glossy cyaniue blue. Forewiug with a scarlet baud which 

 is narrower tjian in M. glauca and more basal, its outer edge being 4 mm. distant 

 from the extremity of vein 1'', varying in width individually from 2^ to 4^ mm., in 

 one individual stopping at the subcostal nervnre. Underside deep blue in side light ;
