The adnprvular breaks of the forewiiigs are mostly very faint on the u[ipprsicle, 

 but sometimes they are almost as white as in rhaduinrintiis (Lucas). 



? . The hindwings have, besides the large cellular spot which occupies the 

 whole cell, exclusive of the extreme base, from 4 to 7, often rather small, discal 

 mai'kings ; the black border of the wing includes often one or two small yellow or 

 yellowish huff subniargiiial spots, lirlow, the yellow discal area is more or le.ss 

 shaded with creamy white.

6. The upperside is all black, the adnervnlar white .streaks of the underside 

 showing through above. The amount of yellow on the underside of the hindwings is 

 very variable ; the anterior spots between the costal nervure and the upper discoidal 

 nervule are usually the smallest and disajjpear first. Within tlie apex of the cell 

 there is sometimes a minute yellow mark. 



?. All the specimens of this sex whicli ;\Ir. W. Doherty obtained seem to be 

 much faded, and are of a light brown colour, recalling the same sex of T. lialiphron irin 

 (Eiiber). The hindwings are above often unicolorous ; most specimens liave, how- 

 ever, four irregular and small yellow discal spots round the apex of the cell, and a 

 very feelile mark within the end of the cell. Sometimes there are also some very 

 faint submai-ginal yellowish spots marked on the upperside. Below, these spots are 

 larger and of a creamy buff colour, often much overpowdered with brownish black 

 scales ; the submarginal spots are sometimes extended along the nervules and joiued 

 to the marginal, internervular spots, forming U-shaped markings ; the space within 

 such a mark is occasionally more or less filled up with buflfisb scales.

It is not improbable that on one of the i.slands between Celebes and the 

 Philipiiines exists a Troides .species which has totally lost the yellow markings ; and 

 there may also be, for example on the Sulu Islands, a Troides which connects dohertyi 

 (Rippon) with plafeni (Standing.).

C'ollar yellow in both sexes. 



(J. The black border to the hindwings is .slightly variable in breailtli ; otherwise 

 very constant. 



5. The forewings have on the ujjperside .sometimes a complete scries of while, 

 geminate, linear markings, of which those between the subcostal veins are connected 

 at the base in pairs ; in other specimens these markings are nearly entirely obliterated; 

 below, the markings are more pronounced than above. 



Tl'.e aniotmt of yellow on the hindwings is very inconstant ; the yi-llow area 

 occupies in one of my specimens three-quarters of the cell, in others only half the 

 cell; in others again there is, moreover, a rather large black s];ot in I he apex of the
