Honrath's artaphemes and Staudinger's ahasverii^ are the same; both authors 

 are quite WTong in comparing this insect with Papilio helenua L., instead of with 

 P. imvara aataspes Feld. from Celebes. With P. /kscms (ioeze (= stfiwus Cram.), 

 to wliicli artopkeraes is not, as Staudinger erroneously says it is, in inany resjjects 

 more closely allied than to P. heleniis L., the present Papilio has nothing to do; it 

 has in the cJ the outer region of the forewings covered with hairs, like P. helenus L. 

 and P. iswarn White. 



The white patch on the uppcrside of the hindwings is reduced in size, below 

 it is oflen ab.sent. The submarginal spots to the hindwings below are yellow, as 

 in P. isivara satnspes Feld.

This group and the memnon-, gambi'lswus-, (rritas-, polytes-, and castoi'-groups 

 will most probably come under one generic term in the future generic revision.

This species has developed into three geographical forms, namely : — 

 (a) : P. nephelus Boisd., inhabiting Celebes and Java ; 

 (6): P. nep}t.elu8 saturnus Guer., inhabiting Sumatra, Malacca, Borneo; 

 (c) : P. nephelus wraniis Weym., inhabiting Nias. 



(a): P. nephelus Boi.sd., forma typ. [^, ?]. 



The form which inhabits Celebes (where it is apparently very rare) and .lava 

 is slightly ditferent from that found in Borneo, Sumatra (Dili), and Malacca; the 

 specimens are smaller; the spots comjiosing the subapical band of the forewings, and 

 the white spot near the hinder angle of the forewings below are smaller. The 

 submarginal lunules on the underside of the hindwings are thinner, often obliterated ; 

 the base of that wing is more densely covered with wax-yellow scales, and the two 

 posterior spots of the discal row are smaller.
