Though in structure almo.st identical with P. helenus L., with which species 

 P. iawara flies together in !?umatra and Borneo, the present Papilio is always well 

 distinguishable by the absence of a subanal reddish rufous mark from the underside 

 of the hiudwings. 



Felder's P. araspes, which is said by Felder to be from Luzon, and of which there 

 is a specimen without locality-label in Felder's collection, agrees exactly with smaller 

 specimens of P. Iswara from Borneo and Malacca, and must sink as a synonym. 



P. iswara occm-s in three races over Malacca, Natuna Islands, Sumatra, Banka, 

 Billiton, Borneo, Celebes, Bangkai Island, and the Sulla Islands. 



(«): P. iswara White, forma typ. [cJ,?]- 

 The white patch on the hindwings is very large above, consisting of four s^iots ; 

 the edges of the last spot are not sharply defined; in the female there are often two 

 more spots of small size between the median nervules; these latter spots are present 

 below in both sexes. The underside of the hindwings exhibits besides the two more 

 or less complete orange rufous rings, one of which stands at the anal angle, while 

 the other is marginal and stands before the lower median nervule, three rather large 

 blue spots between the lower median and discoidal veins ; in one female from Borneo 

 (Lawas) there are present, besides those markings, five orange rufous submarginal 

 spots ; the three anterior are narrow and lunate, the fourth is minute, the fifth is also 

 lunate, but longitudinal, standing with its convex side at the second median vein, 

 and being joined to the marginal spot of the same cellule.

The submarginal spots on the underside of the liindwings, which vary in numlier. 

 are yellow ; of the blue subdiscal spots usually only one is present. 'I'he white area 

 of the liindwings is composed of three spots; the fourth is feebly marked below, 

 seldom above ; in one female of my collection the fourth spot is, however, rather 

 large, and there are on the underside three more white markings between it and the 

 abdominal margin.
