 As I have already .'laid above, I cannot .separate P. poiyte.'i horn tlie larger and 

 the lesser Sunda Islands into several subspecies; if somebody is more siiccesslnl 

 in finding distinguishing characters, he will have an ample su})}ply of names for the 

 races : P. theseus Cramer (W. Sumatra), P. melanides De Haan (15orneo), P.javanvs 

 Feld, (Java), P. polt/phonU's De Haan and limorensis Feld. (Timor), P. j'ohjtes ab. 

 lirilis Rober (Kisser, Maumerie). 



The polytes from East Sumatra (Deli) stand mostly intermediate between the 

 Indian and the insular races, as do many specimens from the Natmia Islands. 

 P. polytes theseus Cram, is the smallest race of P. polytes L. 

 (J. Tails more or less reduced, sometimes absent. The Sandiawa examples have 

 the white Imud of the hindwings rather narrower than specimens from other localities. 

 ? . Four forms, but only the first .seems to be generally distributed.
