This is the usual form in Java; in Sumatra anil Borneo it is rare, and is replaced 

 by the fourth form, ■which is a]i]jareutly alisent from Java.

The pale area of the forewings is much whiter llian in the preceding form : the 

 apii-al lliinl uf the cell of the liindwings is white, the white markings round the cell 

 are large, the nervules traversing the white area are partly orange. In a specimen 

 from Letti, the cellular spot is still large, hut tinged with orange; the other 

 markings are, however, partly obliterated, there being only three very feeble spots 

 between the lower median and lower di.scoidal nervules, of a huffish colour, and widely 

 separated. 



Inhabits Timor, Letti, Moa, and probably all the other islands of the Timor 

 group.

In the Bornean specimens the discal and submarginal red spots of the liindwings 

 are sometimes merged together to longitudinal streaks; this variety is —

This race is the most aberrant and constant, and I .should have treated it as 

 a distinct species, if it were not for the very small specimens which are scarcely 

 distinguishable from P. polytes or P. polytes theseus ("ram., and the caterpillar, which 

 is, according to I'iejiers (I.e.), the same as that of thesexis.

S. Tails somewhat varialile in length and breadth, sometimes wanting, accord- 

 ing to Staudinger (/.<•); liindwings seldom witli submarginal spots above. Some 

 Specimens have a small white spot in the ape.x of the cell to the liindwings.
