The liindwiugs are iJomewbat deeper indented than in acuhis; the tails are 

 mostly spatiilate, but sometimes they are rather short and of even Ineadth; such 

 speoimens, which occur in Sumatra and on Bunguran, are not distinguishable from 

 Hcuhis Druce. The submarginal spots of the hiudwings are feebly indicated above, 

 except tiie posterior one, which is, like a spot at the anal angle, nearly always well 

 marked ; the siK)ts are variable in size and sometimes partly obliterated. 



My I^mbok specimen, captured by Wallace, is of small size, but does not differ 

 from certain Bornean and Sumatran individuals. 



Some specimens from Bunguran (Xatuna Islands) have white scales between the 

 upper median nervules of the hindwiugs close to the discoidal cell, and form a 

 transition to P. anstolockifie Fabr. 



P. theseus of Cramer, which Mr. Butler {I.e.) lielievcd to be the fenuile of 

 finilphus Fabr., is a form of P. polytes L. 



Ihib. Sumatra (23 (J, 6 c?) ; Nias ; Java ; Lombok (1 3) ; Bunguran and Sirhassen, 

 Xaluua Islands (about 150 specimens); Borneo (10 c?, 3 ?); Banguey Island (2 S). 



In Northern Borneo the specimens belong partly to this, partly to the preceding 

 subspecies. 



The geographical distribution of the forms of P. arlstoluchiae Fabr. is very 

 remarkable ; the range of the white-spotted races is interrupted by that of the black 

 subspecies, and what is still more important to note is the discontinuity of the range 

 of the typical race of P. aristolochiae. 



Note. — The species of the hector-gvoui> can be se]iarnli'd in two sections as 

 follows : — 



I. Moles with the abdominal margin of the liindwiugs turned upwards and 

 forming a more or less distinct abdominal fold, which is smallest in /'. poliiphdiili-s 

 Boisd., rather large in P. phegevs Hopff., mariae Semi)., polydoriis L. 'l"he scaling 

 within the fold assumes a pale colour; some of the .scales become rather narrow, 

 almost hairlike. In P. polyphonies Boisd. the scales are much less different in shape 

 and colour Ironi the scales on the disc than in P. polydorus L., ariatolochiae I'abr., 

 j/hegeas Hopff., etc.; in these latter species they become longer and narrower, and 

 are liable to lose the teeth ; they represent, in fact, a rudimentary scent-organ. 



II. Miden with the abdominal margin of the hindwings simply turned downwards 

 as in the other sex. The scaling in the neighbourhood of the submedian nervure is 

 scarcely different from that on the disc. In this section belong P. heclw h.,jophon 

 Gray, pandiyanus Moore, oreon Doherty, liris Godart. Haase [Untersuch. uh. Mini. 

 p. 25 (1893)] refers P. jophon Gray to the first section witli rudimentary scent- 

 organ, but is wrong in doing .so. — K. J.
