? . In small specimens the tails are thinner, as in the usual large form : 1 he 

 discal extracellular spots are always widely separated. 



Staudiuger has overlooked that Oberthtir figured his alcindoi' ; the Saleyer 

 specimens agree very well with Oherthiir's figure. 



Hab. Celebes (5 tj, 4 ¥); .S&leyer (2 6,2 ? ). 



While most Papilios from the small islands north of Celebes (Sangir and Talaut 

 Islands), and from Bangkei and the Sulla Islands, are either identical with the 

 Celebesian races or bear at least a much closer relationship to them than to the races 

 from the Moluccas and Philippines, this is not the ease in P. polytes; and it is most 

 curious that P. jjolytes, from the ^Moluccas and the Sulla Islands in the south, and 

 from the Philippine Islands in the north, must stand as the same subspecies, while 

 the islands of Sangir and Talaut, which lie just between those groups of islands, are 

 inhabited by a different race.

Scopoli's P. i/ronovii may be this local form of P. polytes L. lie describes it as 

 having yellow instead of white markings, and says : " Ilicproximim Papilio Pammon 

 Linnt', Mas. Re^j. p. 189"; he does not .say anything about the form of the hind- 

 wings; but as Scopoli received his specimen from (ironovius who himself describes 

 the male of P. polytes as being tailed [Zoopliyl. p. 189. n. 73 (1763-81)], it is 

 certainly best to treat e/ronovii as a query synonym.
