a blue i)atch within the apex of the cell is almost cut off from the blue basal area; 

 the hairy patch is strongly developed ; on the hindwings there are, in the antecellular 

 region, only a few blue scales, the blue area being reduced to a triangular patch which 

 extends on the disc only a little beyond the apex of the cell.

The cottony stripes of the male are very broad ; the posterior ones are merged 

 together for almost their whole length. The submarginal blue lines of the hindwings, 

 situated along the nervules. vary in number ; the anterior one is sometimes joined 

 to the blue area of the wing. The submarginal spots of the hind\vings beneath are 

 sometimes all ochraceous ; the middle ones are often divided into two spots each 

 by a black line; .seldom one or other of the spots is as black as in P. ulysses 

 orsippus Godm. & Salv. 



In the female the blue area of the forewings is of about the size of that of 

 P. idysses-'i ; the discal black patch within the blue area and the hairy mark are 

 wanting. The subdiscal blue lunules of ulysses have here developed into more or 

 less quadrangular spots, of which the second and third are joined to a submarginal, 

 adnervular blue line.

This is certainly- the most conspicuous form of P. ulysses, and its distinguishing 

 characters are more pronounced and constant than in any other subspecies of ulysses. 

 The blue longitudinal lines in the black marginal region of the hindwings appear 

 only in this subspecies, but are indicated in autolycus Feld. and Jorsfi I5utl. by the 

 blue area extending streaklike along the nervules.

The twenty-seven specimens of this insect in my collection from the island of 

 Lifu exhibit such a variation in the number and size of the cottony stripes in the 

 male, and in the extent of the blue colour on the wings in cither sex, that I cannot 

 specifically distinguish the Papilios described under the names of mantrousiei-i 

 Boisd., ulyssinus Westw., ulyssellus Westw., chaudoiri Feld., and ivestwoodi 

 Oberth.; this latter excepted, the " species " were almost contemporarily described;
