(/•■) : Like (//'), but forewings with a large subapical white patcli. 



In all these aberrations the anal angle of the hinchvings is mostly tinged witli 

 yellow. The basal red spots on the underside of the hindwings vary in number from 

 two to four. 



(I/): ?-f. achates Sulzer, I.e.; Wallace, /.c. t. 1. f. 4. Tailed. Hindwings with 

 two-thirds of cell and six or seven large spots round the cell white ; these discal spots 

 very variable, the intermediate ones often partly or totally obliterated. Patch at the 

 base of the forewings above red or wliitish buS'. Abdomen yellow, with a black dorsal 

 line. 



Hah. Java [6 c^, 14 ?'", 5 ?<=']; Xias [13 c?, 11 ?'", 1 ?'-'>]; Sumatra 

 [3 J, 4 ?'"]; Natuua Islands [2 cJ, 1 ?'"]; Borneo [1.5 S, 6 ?'"]. 



I have a riinle and a ?-f. laomedon Cram, fi-om Sumatra, caught in cojiula, and 

 still united to one another. 



(b): P. memnon oceani Doherty [<?,?].

.Mr. W. Doherty obtained one pair of this insect only; further researches must 

 show whether oceani can stand as a subspecies, or whether the two type-specimens 

 are mere individual aberrations; as P. meninon from Java, Nias, Sumatra, Borneo, 

 and Bunguran are the same, it is rather striking that the island of Engano should 

 have a local form of its own. It can certainly not stand as a species; the distin- 

 guishing characters are so variable in P. memnon that many viemnon are almost 

 identical with the female of oceani. 



c?. Bluish streaks of the hindwings above, and luteous grev streaks of the 

 forewings below, much reduced ; red spots on the hindwings below obliterated, that 

 of the forewings indicated by a number of red scales ; inner series of black spots of 

 the underside of the hindwings barely .indicated, chiefly owing to the grey area not 

 extending, as in P. memnon, along the nervules, so as to surround or partly surround 

 those sul.idiseal spots. 



}. Tailless. Basal red patch of the forewings above small (not absent, a-; is said 

 in Doherty's description) ; those of the hindwings below also small, but larger than in 

 some specimens of /■'. memnon. The other characters mentioned by Doherty ajijx'ar 

 also in certain P. memnon ?-f. laomedon Cram. 

 Hall. Engano Island (1 J, 1 ? ; ti/pes).

Doherty described this insect from large male specimens wliich were of the size 

 of the largest P. meninon agenor h. and P. memnon prt/eri Kothsch. subsp. nov. 

 I have not had an opportunity to comjiare specimens from Sumba, but I think that 

 the specimens from Sambawa and Adonara in my collection, though of the 

 usual size of P. memnon, i.e. smaller than typical merapu, cannot be s(^parated 

 from tnerapu; I am the more convinced that I am right in this surmise as the other 

 Papilios known from Sumba and Sambawa are identical. The Sambawa and Adonara 

 specimens agree quite well with Doherty's description, except in size.
