P. C. T. Snellen [.Votes Leyd. Mus. p. 157 (1889)] reproaches Distant with not 

 having seen that " Papilio ruficollis Distant " is exactly identical with " Fctp. 

 a'>nphi~ymis " from Sumatra. I do not know whether Distant ha.s compared Sumatran 

 specimens, but if he had done so he would certainly have perceived the identity of 

 the ^Malaccan and Sumatran insects, and would have righteously referred both to 

 ruficollis, not to " Pap. amphry&us," a.* the Javan umphrysns is not identical with 

 the race of amphrysus inhabiting Sumatra, Malacca, and Borneo. 



I have a female from Padang and two from Nias which stand intermediate 

 between typical a'mphi-ysu6 (Cram.) and amphrysus flavicollis (Druce).
