•ludgiiig from the habitat " Tranquebar " of Fahricius's palinurns, one is led to 

 suppose that this Kabiician species might be identical with the tx)uth Indian insect 

 which 'W^estwood described as P. biuldha. In the museum iu Copenhagen there is, 

 however, a specimen of "palinurns" Fabr. out of the Limd collection preserved 

 which most probably is the Fabrician type, as Fabricius described the species from 

 that collection. A photograph of the specimen which I received through the 

 kindness of Dr. Meinert proves its being identical with Guerin's P. In-ama; the 

 same opinion was expressed to me by Prof. Chr. Aurivillius, who had examined 

 the specimen in Copenhagen. 



P. E. A. regidtLS Stoll is the same as palltiwim Fabr., and also the same sex, 

 according to the ]>osition of the baud of the forewiugs. 



This Papilio inhabits the Malay Peninsula, the greater Sunda Islands, and the 

 Philippines, and must be divided into three local forms : — 



(«) : P. palinurus Fabr. from Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Borneo ; 



(6) : P. palinurus angustatus Stauding. from Palawan ; 



(c) : P. palinurus daedalus Feld. from the Philippine Islands. 



(rt) : P. palinurus Fabr., forma typ. [(^,?]. 



The dark basal area of the underside of the forewings is mostly limited in an 

 even curve. The marginal pale area of the hindwings below occupies scarcely more 

 than a third of the way from the outer margin to the cell. The submarginal yellow 

 spots on the underside of the hindwings are much shaded with black in man}' Bornean 

 examples; those between the median nervules are sometimes obsolete. 



The greenish blue band of the hindwings varies in breadth in both sexes; it 

 either enters the cell or does not.

 Island (1 c?). 



(b): P. palinurus angustatus Standing. [J,?].

Differs from P. palinurus Fabr. in the outer border of the dark area on the 

 underside of the forewings being more or less straight between the median branches, 

 in the pale marginal area of the same side of the hindwings being broader, and in the 

 black band between the greenish blue discal band and the submarginal bluish green 

 markings on the upperside of the hindwings being less dusted with green scales, and 

 therefore appearing broader black.
