vein to hiuder iiuglo tliaii iu 1'. colle/i/iocii ; iu tlie type-specimen obsolete between 

 mediuu nervnles. 



Discal band on liindwinsrs narrow, tlie median spots more or less rounded, tlie 

 interspace between the discal band and the snbmarginal series of lunules, which are 

 of a buff colour, broader than iu P. tollenhovii, and on the underside of the wiu<r 

 mostly suffused with whitish and buff scales. Tails more or less developed, but 

 always very thin, sometimes absent. 



One tailless examjde (J) wliicii has the bands on both wings broad is scarcely 

 distinguishable from tyi)ical /'. vollcnhocii, except by the greater breadth of 

 the band on the forewings iu the costal region ; this same specimen is also 

 remarkable for (ho increased size of the snbmarginal markings on the underside 

 of the hindvvings, and for the development of a series of snbmarginal minute s])ots 

 on the underside of the forewings, which are also present, but mucli less pronounced, 

 in some other specimens of kypniclides as well as of collenhovii.

2. Papilio vollenhovii alorensis subsp. nov. 



Darker tlian tlie preceding race, the markings creamy white, but very much 

 reduced ; tailless. 



Uppersifk : forewings with an ill-marked spot behind costal margin, a rather 

 small but well-defined spot between fourth and fifth subcostal nervules, and a small 

 spot behind it ; the following markings of P. collenhovii are absent, though the 

 jTOsition of tlie snbmarginal band is indicated by the marginal area of the wing 

 being paler iu colour than the rest of the wing owing to its being slightly suffused 

 with buflfish scales ; at the hinder angle stands a small creamy buff sjiot traversed 

 by the stibmediau nervure. 



Discal macular band narrower than in hi/psicU<li'.s, situated closer to cell than 

 to outer margin, the anterior spot obliterated, the second and the last linear, 

 snbmarginal lunules small and ill-defined. 



Cndersidr : paler than above ; forewings with one spot iu apical region, behind 

 which stands i\ white point, and with a small siiffused mark at anal angle. 

 Discal markingii on hindwiugs nearly all linear, snbmarginal lunules much in- 

 creased, the anterior ones more or less rectangular ; the space between the discal 

 and submarginal rows of spots overjiowdered with whitish scales.

3. Papilio vollenhovii umbrosus subsp. nov. 



Wings dark umber brown on both sides : marginal region on the forewings as 

 far as the inner edge of the band of P. (ollcnliocii and on the hindwiugs about 

 lialf-way to cell, of a much lighter colour ; tailless. 



(?. Upperside: forewings with a small white spot between the fourth and 

 fifth subcostal nervules. Hindwiugs with a series of faint minute discal spots and 

 a series of snbmarginal small and feebly marked lunules. 



Underside: forewings as above. Hindwiugs without the discal spots, but 

 with the submarginal lunules at least thrice as large as on the upperside. 



?. Upperside: forewings devoid of spots. Iliudwings with a few extremely 

 faint submarginal lunules. Marginal intranervular spots of both wings distinct.
