one of my examples reaches beyond the submediun nervure, and is here not so broad 

 as in Cramer's figure. 



The black bauds on the forewings are broad, the two basal ones are extended far 

 beyond the cell ; on the upperside of the hindwings there are, besides the marginal 

 black spots, between the discoidal nervules two or three well-marked black submarginal 

 spots ; the anal black mark is merged together with the greyish area of the caudal 

 region in two specimens, just as it is shown in Cramer's figure. On tlie underside of 

 the hindwings the subdiscal orange markings are of a rather deep colour, and the 

 black spots outside them, as well as the discal black spots, are larger than in the 

 Indo-]Malayan form.

Papilio alcibiades of Fabricius is certainly a form of P. anfiphnies Cram. 

 Mr. A. G. Butler applied the name of alcibiades to a Javan specimen [^Cat. Diurn. 

 Le}}. Fabric, p. 240. n. 22 (18G9)], and I think he was quite right, as the character 

 " Cauda atra apice albo " is more often found in Javan specimens than in examples 

 from other parts of ISIalayasia or Continental India, which mostly have " cauda nigra 

 margine albo." The Javan P. antiphates are, however, not subspecifically separable 

 from those from Sambawa, Sumatra, Nias, H\nigurau, Borneo, Malacca, India, Ceylon, 

 and so I have to treat all the P. antiphates from these localities as belonging to 

 one subspecies, for which the name of alcibiades must stand.
