Though jocsa comes extremely close to autolycus, there are some slight 

 differences lietween the New Guiueau and Queenslandian ulysses, at least between 

 the specimens from the northern parts of New Guinea and those from tjueensland ; 

 from British New Guinea I have only one fenude, which agrees better with jocsa than 

 with autolycus. 



The whitish spot in the cell of the forewings below is larger than in autolycus ; 

 the whitish discal band on the underside of the hindwings is also larger. In the 

 female the submarginal blue spots of the upperside of the hindwings are liable 

 to obliteration, that between the discoidal nervules is not joined to the blue area 

 of the wing. In the male the black spot at the end of the cell of the forewings 

 above is larger than in autolycus.

I have some blown larvae and a pupa from Queensland (A. S. jMeek leg.). Tlie 

 caterpillar resembles in form that of P. menvtion L. . The first thoracic segment 

 bears a small chitinous tubercle at each side dorsaUy ; the last but one abdominal 

 .segment is provided with two long denticulated processes. The third segment has 

 a white (natural colour?) transverse dorsal band; the following segments bear two 

 dorsal spots of the same colour except the fourth segment ; the spots on the seventh 

 segment are the largest. Between the third and fourth .segments (here stands a 

 minute black median spot. The pupa agrees fairly well with Horsfield's figure of the 

 pupa of P. (trjuna Horsf, but is larger, less bent and less constricted.

According to' the description, this form is smaller than ulysses, ami the black

As this geograjihical form of ulys-ses L. agrees with telemachus in the smaller 

 size, and in the black .spot at the end of the cell of the forewings being not included 

 in the blue area, Messrs. Godman & Salvin were quite justified in enumerating it 

 as r. telemachus (?) Montr. Some of the other Woodlarkian Papilios, such as 

 F. agamemnon L., codras Cram., etc., show, however, that the fauna of Woodlark 

 has much closer affinities to that of New Guinea than to that of Now liritain. 

 New Ireland, or the Solomon Islands, and render it highly probable that the 

 insects of Woodlark Island, if not specifically or subspecifically distinct, are
