rounded exteriorly than in most Bunnese specimens; tlie anal niaik as in the latter; 

 a cellular spot is often present. 



The two Bunguran specimens {d (J) have three white discal markings, of which 

 the middle one is the longest ; in one individual there is, besides, a nunute 

 white pointlike sjjot liefore the second discoidal vein ; the tails of both specimens 

 are short and narrow, and in one the tails are not dilated towards the apex, thus 

 reminding one strongly of P. (iristolochiae ncidun Druce. 



On the island of P^ngano Doherty obtained one specimen of arifilolocliiae which 

 agrees well with Javan examples, but has the anal spot not sinuate. 



In the Javan s[ieciniens the black area of tlie underside of the forewings is 

 mostly much reduced, more than the ajiical half of the cell being whitish (exclusive 

 of four black folds) ; the white spots on the hindwings stand (alwavs ?) close to the 

 cell ; all my specinrens have four white spiots besides the anal mark, which latter is 

 deeply sinuate; there is never (?) a spot within the cell. The front of the head 

 just before the antennae is rather black. 



The fenuiles of the Chinese aristolochiae are rather [)ale. In both sexes the 

 black basal region of the underside of the forewings is somewhat less extended 

 than in North Indian examples. The white spots vary in number from two to 

 four; they are usually small, and stand close to the cell; the spot before the uji]ier 

 median nervule is mo.stly the longest; there is no spot within the cell; the anal 

 mark is always deep!}' sinuate, sometimes oliliterated above. The front of the head 

 is mostly darker than in Indian examples, especially in the females. 



My two Loo Choo specimens have the anal mark of the hindwings small and 

 non-sinuate ; both have four discal spots, which are tinged with red, especially below ; 

 the anterior spot is small, but well marked, and stands closer to the .submarginal 

 ^pot than to the cell ; the second and third spjots are rather long.

Hindwings with a white spot within the apex of the cell. 



This aberration is in my collection from Ceylon, Burma, the Shan f^tates, and 

 -Malacca ; it occurs also in N. India, but not in China and Java, as far as I know. 



From Burma I have several examples of aristoluchitre in which the red colour 

 of the abdomen is very much extended.

The /«»ia^ is scarcely of a paler ground-colour than the inule. In both sexes 

 the black border to the forewings beneath is rather broader than in nristolochiae ; 

 tlie internervular black streaks are also broad ; the basal black area is of almost the 

 same form as in the Javan arieioluchiae, but often a little more extended. On the 

 hindwings there are three while discal spots of small size; that between the upper 

 median branches is the longest, and about twice (or less) as long as broad : the spots
