M'hether this Papilio is a variety of P. clytia L. we do not know with certainty ; 

 I have not .-^een a specimen of clytia which has a series of black suhmarginal Imiules 

 to the underside of tlie hindwings. I have, however, a specimen of P. clytia 

 jjanope h. with the suhmarginal spots of tlie forewings black instead of wiiite, wliich 

 renders it possible that P. lacedemon is also an individual aberration, and, judging 

 from the locality " ^Malabar," belongs to P. clytia lankcswara ]\loore. The type- 

 specimen of P. lacedemon Fabr. in Drury's collection has been the first and last 

 known to science.

Your geographical forms of this Papilio are known : — 



((() : P. paradoxus Zink. from Java; 



(h) : P. paradoxus niasicus subsp. nov. from Nias Island ; 



(c) : P. parado.ntstck'sicles Feld. from Borneo, Natuna Is., iSumatra, and Malacca ; 



((/) : P. parado.rus telearclms Hew. from Assam, Burma, and Tenasserim. 



P. jxiradoxiis from Borneo, Sumatra, and Malacca has been split up into a great 

 nunilaer of " siiecies," which are but mere individual aberrations of the variable 

 P. paradoxus telesicles Feld. The number of such "species" can be increased 

 enormously, as shown under (c) ; as they occur in the same district and are connected 

 with one another by e\ery intermediate, they are, however, scarcely worth being 

 treated even as mere aberrations under different names. \\'hether all the Bornean 

 aberrations occur also in Malacca and Sumatra I cannot tell, as the material of 

 para(l<KVus olitained in these latter countries is not yet large enough; it is quite 

 probable tliat some of the aberrations are local, but there is no character common 

 to the Bornean specimens on the one hand, and another character common to the 

 Malaccan or Sumatran examples on tlie other, so that telesicles cannot be divided into 

 two or three geographical races. 



(rt) : P. paradoxus (Zink.), forma typ. [c?]. 



The length of the bluish white discal streaks of the forewings varies a little ; 

 below, the number of the discal markings is sometimes reduced. The submargiual 

 spots of the hindwings are variable in number, as in all subspecies oi paradoxus (/ink.). 



The/(')n'//e is recorded in Nalaralicn-Cahinet, August 1894, as being found by 

 .Mr. Prillwilz, but it is still undcscribcd.
