apical region of the forewings. This greenish tint is, .as stated above, due to 

 the scaling being partly obliterated and partly hairlike, and therefore being not 

 able to conceal the greenish membrane of the wing. According to Prof. Eimer, the 

 present Papilio ornatu,s Kothseh. must, therefore, be an ancient form, as the wings 

 have not yet assumed the greenish tint in the apical region. As the black bands 

 of the forewings above are inclined to be obliterated more and more from the 

 posterior side, we learn from Prof. Eimer, I.e. pp. 143, 145, etc., that P. ornatus is 

 a recent form of the antiphnies-growYi. The [)resent insect combines therefore a 

 character which points (ace. to Primer) to the ancestral form of the group, and which 

 is not preserved in the allied forms, together with the recently acquired reduction 

 of the black bands on the forewings. This latter character of P. wnatus is more 

 developed even than in the Indian P. aniiphates alcihiades Fabr., which Eimer 

 considers to be the most advanced and recent subspecies of P. antiphates Cram, in 

 respect to the pattern of the wings. 



In the Malayan race {insularw Stauding.) of /'. ngeles Westw. we meet with 

 a similar combination of characters, reduction of bands and condensation of scaling, 

 while on the contrary- a reduction of bands and reduction of scaling go hand in hand 

 in other species, for example in P. j'odalirius feisthameli Dup. Pupilio darcvs 

 De Haan, which has more black on the wings than its ally P. androcles Boisd., 

 though the number of the black bands is reduced, differs from androcles also in (lie 

 greater deusity of the sealing. — K. ,1.

The scent-organ within the abdominal fold of the nude is more developed than 

 in P. (tatiphates Cram. The female of this rather constant species is still unknown.

(S. This rare species is somewhat of a connecting link between the aristeiis- 

 group and the antiphates-groui>. In scaling and in pattern it agrees best with the 

 orisieits-group, while in general form and appearance it is close to P. androcles of 

 the antipliates-gronp. The submargin;d white or greenish white band present on the 

 forewings in all the allied species is in P. dorciis extremely feebly indicated, and only 

 on the underside. 



In one of my specimens tliere is a black s|)ot on the subcostal nervure on the 

 upperside of the forewings, just outside the .second black band, indieating the third 

 (abbreviated) band of P. androcles Boisd.
