 This Papuan species has developed into six subspecies, namely : — 



(fi) : P. codrvs Cram., inhabiting the Southern Moluccas; 



(h) : P. codrus gilolensis Wall., inhabiting the Northern Moluccas ; 



(c) : P. codms celebensis Wall*., inhabiting Celebes and the Sulla Islands; 



((/) : P. codrus medon Feld., inhabiting New Guinea, Waigeu, and the D'Kntre- 



casteaux Islands ; 

 («) : P. codms melanthus Feld., inhabiting the Philippine Islands ; 

 (/) : P. codriis pisidice Godm. & Salv., inhabiting the Solomon Islands. 

 In the greater Sunda Islands it is replaced by P. einpedocles Fabr., and in the 

 Bismarck Archipelago by P. scgonax Godm. & Salv. 



("): P- codrus Cram., forma typ. [<?,?]. 



Tlie median hand of the forewings consists mostly of eight .i^pots, as in Cramer's 

 figure, but rather often a ninth spot behind the submedian vein is also more or less 

 clearly marked; the hindwings have sometimes a small white costal spot on the 

 underside. 



Hab. Southern Moluccas: Amboina (W. Doherty, February 1892) (2 S , 5 ?), 

 .Saparua (2 c?, 2 ?), Ceram (2 cJ). 



The females, which are devoid of the metallic gloss of the males in all the forms 

 of P. codrus, are commoner than the iiiaka.

Median band of the forewings yellowish green, broader than in P. codrus Cram., 

 consisting of nine spjots instead of eight; hindwings with a white costal spot on the 

 underside. 



Hab. Northern .Moluccas: Halmahera (2 J, 1 ?), Batjan (W. Doherty, May 

 1892) (4 cJ, 2 J). 



(c): P. codrus celebensis Wall. [(?,?].

 Popilio codrus, Rothschild, Iris V. p. 442 (1892) (S.E. Celebes). 



Median band yellowish green, as in P. codrus gilolensis Wall., con.sisting of 

 nine spots which are narrower than in that race, and, the two posterior ones excepted, 

 than in P. codrus; metallic gloss of the male of a deeper tint; underside of the 

 hindwings uniform in colour. Forewings narrower in the apical region, costal margin 

 more arched than in other forms of P. codms Cram. 



Hab. Celebes; Sulla Island (Mangola Island, 1 c?, 1 S); Talaut Island (1 S ; 

 \\'. Doherty leg.). 



The single specimen from Talaut Island, north of Celebes, is somewhat aberrant 

 in having the pcsterior spots of the median band as broad as they are in P. codrus 

 gilolensis Wall., and the colour of this baud pale green, as it is in P. codrus Cram. ; 

 the wings are shaped as in P. codrus celebensis Wall.
