 PapiUo paradoxa, Weymer {nee Zinken, 1832), SMt. Em. Ziil. ji. 271 (1885) (Niaa I.)- 



<?. Upperside: forewings with the basal third bluish black, the rest blue; with 

 a submarginal row of white spots, of which the three anterior ones are larger than in 

 paradoxus (Zink.); the white discal streaks and the cellular spots of paradoxus are 

 absent, but in one specimen they are just indicated by some blue scales. 



Hindwings blackish brown, with a feeble blue tint on the anterior half in certain 

 lights; two to four white submarginal spots. 



Underside: both wings blackish brown, much darker than in leleslcles Feld. 

 Forewings without the white markings which are present on the disc and in the cell 

 o{ paradoxus. Submarginal spots of either wing as large as abo\e. 



?. Upperside: both wings dull blackish brown, without blue gloss. Forewings 

 with a submarginal series of white spots, and with another series inside the first, but 

 well separated from it ; this subdiscal row consists of elongate, more or less arrowhead- 

 .shaped spots, the hindmo.st of which behind the lower median vein is doubled ; a spot 

 in the apex of the cell also white. 



Hindwings with small white submarginal spots. 



Underside as above, the markings a little less shaded with blackish scales. 



Hab. Mas Island (3 cj, 1 ?). 



The c? diflers from paradoxus (Zink.) chiefly in the absence of the white subdiscal 

 markings from either side of the forewings ; from telesicles Feld. it is distinguished 

 by the darker under surface and the large subapical spots of the submarginal series of 

 the anterior wings. 



The ? differs from telesicles-'i in the two complete series of white markings on 

 both sides of the forewings, which are otherwise uniformly blackish brown.
