6- ^^c•al■^•ely dift'erent from /ii/pul ihis. The whitish iiei-vuhir strijii's on tiie 

 upiiorside of the forewings are due to the scaling being sciace and the niembnine ol 

 the wing shining through; there are only a few white or yellowish scales (which 

 belong to the under layer), while in hypolitus the streaks are obviously scaled white. 

 On the hindwings the yellow spots at the extremity of the two ujjper median veins 

 are much clouded with black ; below, the marginal cloud of whitisli scales referred 

 to under sidaensis is absent or scarcely indicated. 



J. The median cellules to the hindwings are without a yellow tint ; the dis- 

 coidal cell has a white apical spot of variable size on the upperside. 



Hab. Celebes (1 c?, 5 ?); Talaut (W. Doherty leg., 1 <S, 1 ?). 



Tlie two Talaut specimens belong to this subspecies. The male has rather more 

 white scales at the nervules of the forewings above, the hindwings are somewhat more 

 acutelv dentate, and the second abdominal segment has no dorsal orange spot. 



Xote. — The upperside of the hiniKvings of t)ie miili' lias, as far iis I hi' while aiea 

 of the underside is extended, a peculiar grey ai)i]earance, owing (o the lilaek scaling 

 lieing rather dispersed ; between the median vein and the abdominal fold the upper 

 and under scales are well developed. Tlie scaling of the upperside of the wings has 

 a dark green metallic gloss; the scales are much less denticulate than in the other 

 yellow species of Troides ; they are toothless in the marginal and discal regions of the 

 liindwings. — K. ,1.

6. The yellow cellular mark of the hinilwings is often reduced to a very small 

 spot ; the first discal mark is in some individuals about half the size of that in otlier> : 

 the posterior mark includes sometimes a minute )>lack sjwt. 



J. Between the costal and subcostal veins of the hindwings \\\vYe are llHl^ll> 

 two small yellow linear spots, which cori-espond to the discal and sulnnai-ginal spots d 

 the other cellules; below, the submargiiial yellow markings situated between tin- 

 median veins are often joined to the inai-gi)ial whitish spots by means of a whitish 

 buff scaling which forms two short, longitudinal, n)arginal streaks within each median 

 cellule.
