I divide P. eurypyius L. into the following twelve subspecies : — 



((') : P. eurypyiiis L. from the Moluccas ; 



(Ij) : P. (mrypyhis extensile m. from the liismarck Archipelago ; 



(r) : P. eurypyius lycamiides m. from New Guinea, D'Entrecasteaux Islands, 



Woodlark Island (?), Aru Islands (?) ; 

 ((/) : P. eu.rypyhis lycaon Westw. from Australia; 



(e) : P. eurypyius snUastius Standing, from Wetter, Sanibawa, Sumba (?) ; 

 (/): P. euryplus eurypylides Standing, from Sambawa, Suniba (?) ; 

 (g): P. eurypyius j(i8on Esper from Ceylon, South India ; 

 Qi) : P. eurypyius axion Feld. from Continental India, Alalacca, Au(hunan 



Islands, Sumatra, Banka, Nias, Java, Natuna Islands, Borneo, Palawan, 



China ; 

 (i) : P. eurypyius gordion Feld. from the Philippine Islands; 

 (k) : P. eurypyhis mikado Leech from South Japan ; 

 (l) : P. eurypyius sangirus Oberth. from Sangir Island; 

 {m) : P. eurypyius painpkylus Feld. from Celebes, Sulla Islands. 

 On the Solomon Islands no form of eurypyius has as yet turned up. 



(rt) : P. eurypyius L., forma typ. [<?,?]• 



The specimens from the Northern JNIoluccas are not subspeeifically different 

 from those from the Southern ^Moluccas. Linn(^'s type came most probably from 

 the old Dutch colony of Amboina. The abdomen is in fresh individuals of this 

 typical subspecies of P. eurypyius L. white above in both sexes. The submarginal 

 spots to the forewings are small ; the two markings standing between the fom-th and 

 fifth suhcostid braiiches on the underside of the forewings are never merged together.

cJ ? . Of the size of large .specimens of P. eurypyius L. typ. It differs from 

 P. eurypyius in the longer hindwings, in the band on the upperside of the liindwings 

 being much longer, extending as far down as to end on a level with the anal marginal 

 white spot, and in the longitudinal blackish band beyond the lower median nervule 

 being paler; as the base of the hindwings above is overpowdered with white and the 

 blackish subbasal streak, which separates on the underside the subbasal white line 

 from the discal band, is densely scaled with white, the discal greenish white band 

 appears to be extended almost to the base of the hindwings on (he upperside. The 

 band on the forewings is about half as broad again at the hindmargin of the wing 

 as between the lower median ncrvules.
