anal region of the underside of the hindwiugs are large; the two marginal spots 

 between the median nervules more or less ochreous ; alx)ve, the abdominal margin is 

 in the middle of the colour of the discal band ; this colour is extended to the submedian 

 nervule and is not or scarcely separated from the discal liand iiy a black streak, as it 

 is in euchenw Gudr. 



?. The posterior but one spot of the discal liand of the forewings, standing in 

 euchenor between the submedian and the lower median veins, is obliterated ; that at 

 the inner margin is small, aud that before the lower median nervule also small and above 

 much shaded with black. On the hindwiugs the spots at the base of the cellules 

 between the middle median and the lower discoidal nervules are smaller than in 

 eiichenw-'i ; the spots between the subcostal and lower discoidal veins are deeply 

 constricted, and in one of my specimens the exterior parts of these spots are separated 

 from the rest as in the aberration of euc/terMW- ? alluded to above.

In both sexes the forewings are shorter and rounder, and have above, besides the 

 three subapical markings, a small submarginal spot situated between the discoidal 

 veins. The abdominal margin of the hiiidwings is black, thinly bordered with 

 primrose-yellow (J) or creamy white (?). 



$. The median and submedian veins of the forewings are not covered with 

 hairs, as in P. euchenor (iwkx. aud P. eiiclcenor ohsolesceiw mihi. The band of the 

 forewings is broad, and the veins traversing it are not black in any specimen. 



?. The last but one spot of the band of the upperside of the forewings is 

 scarcely separated from that before it, whereas in P. euchenor Gucr. there is a rather 

 broad black inten-^pace lietween the.se two spots. The extract»llular parts of the 

 median band of the hindwiugs are large; the second and third spots are not or 

 scarcely constricted. The ochreous markings on the underside of the hindwings are 

 very large. Sometimes there stands, on the hindwings above, an ochraceous spot 

 behind the costa, and another at the anal angle.

Though there is no character mentioned in Montrouzier's description in which 

 this Woodlark Papilio differs from P. euchenor Gu^r. or its subspecies, it will be 

 better to keep f/odurti separate, at least as a fourth geograjihical form, until we 

 receive specimens of this insect from Woodlark Island. 



Hub. Woodlark Island. 



Un the Solomon Islands this species has not yet been found. 



Note. — The hairy streaks with which the nervules of the forewings are covered 

 in the males of P. euchenor Gu6r. and P. euchenor obsolescens Kothsch. are of the 

 .same character as the cottony stripes known from P. ulyasea L., bianw Cram., etc.
