Palawan (2 <J', >5 ?); Sulu Islaiifls; Balabac (2 S); Xortli Borneo (Lawas, Baram K.. 

 ]\Iantanaui Island ; 3 ? ). 



In the Bornean specimens (? -f. korsJieUli only) the costal spot of the band of 

 the hindwings is linear, being niuch narrower than in Philippine individuals ; the 

 marginal spots of the forewings are of rather large size. Males of alphenor from 

 North Borneo I have not seen ; the Balabac nmles agree with those from Palawan 

 and tlie Pliilip[)ines. 



The l~^ulla specimens are not exactly identical with rf/^;/(,eHO)', but approach a little 

 the below-described P. polytes perversiis, from the islands north of Celebes ; in the 

 male the costa is in large specimens strongly arched; the spots of the band to 

 the hindwings are a little more separated from one another than in Philippine 

 examples. The tails of ? '-' are a little less spatulate than in typical ?-f. loc. 

 ledebourius Eschsch. 



My Banka Island male agrees with the Sulla Islands specimens.

(?. Forewings with the costal margin more arched than in 7^ polytes alphenor 

 Cram., similar in shape to those of P. polytes alclndor Oberth. IMarginal white 

 spots as in P. polytes nicanor Feld. 



Hindwings tailless, but almost triangular, longer than in the other races of 

 P. polytes, the whole anal region being rather produced. The median baud is 

 narrow ; the two anterior spots are the largest, the second is much broader anteriorly 

 than at the upi)er discoidal nervule. The submarginal spots of the underside of 

 the hindwings are sometimes \ei-y faintly indicated abo\e by a few brownish and 

 whitish scales.

.Similar to the male; submarginal spots of the underside of the hindwings large 

 in my siugle specimen, with a faint anal red mark above. 



(p^) : ?-f. (itavus mihi. 



With spatulate tails. F'orewings with co.stal margin arched as in the male, 

 with clearly marked marginal spots, whicli are shaped as in the male, but rather 

 larger ; outer half of the wing whiter than in P. polytes alphenor ? -f. loc. ledebourius. 

 Hindwings with three large and one small white discal spot, which are separated from 

 each other by the black nervules ; within the apex of the cell is sometimes also a 

 minute white spot ; submarginal spots rather large and strongly arched.

Semper, I.e. p. 277 note, .says that he has c? (^ and ? ? from Sangir which are 

 indistinguishable from specimens oi nicanm- from Morotai, Batjan, and Ternate ; tlie 

 specimens which I have seen are all well distinguishable from nicanor.
