(life hist.). 



Very close to t\'pical P. sarpedon, but the forewiiigs broader, the median 

 iiervules and the submedian nervure being longer ; median band al\va_ys broad, on 

 the hiadwings usually shorter than in P. .sarpedon; mostly the median nervides of 

 the forewings white within the baud ; black line inside the red costal mark on the 

 underside of the hinder wings narrower than in P. sarpedon.

 (11 (?, 2 ?); Aru Islands; Waigeu Island (3 S); and (?) Woodlark Island. 



(/) : P. sarpedon imparilis subsp. nov. \_S~\. 



Pupilio choredon, Godman & Salvin, /'. Z. S. p. 148. n. 35 (1877) (Duke of York I.) ; iid., l.r. 

 p. 159. n. 41 (1879) (N. Ireland). 



t?. Upperside as deep black as in P. sarpedon rallon P"eld., i.e., much darker 

 than in choredon Feld. Underside darker than in any race of sarpedon; the inter- 

 spaces between the discal red markings and the submarginal lunules of the 

 hindwings are entirely filled up with black ; the black spots at the basal side of the 

 red markings are of a deep tint. 



The median band of the wings is scarcely narrower than in P. sarpjedon chwedon 

 Feld. ; on the forewings there is mostly an additional green or white minute spot 

 marked above or below, or on either side ; this spot has in some specimens the same 

 position as in P. sarpedon ivipjar mihi, or it stands behind the first mark of the 

 macular band occupying the same place as the first spot of the submarginal series in 

 P. isander Godm. it Salv., or it stands in the apex of the cell rather close to the 

 lower discocellular veinlet. 

 J . Unknown. 



Hab. New Britain (7 cJ); New Indand ; Duke of York. 



This form is remarkable not onl}' for the deep black colour of the upperside, 

 but especially for the appearance of the additional spot in variable jiosition, in conse- 

 quence of which it naturally leads over from P. sarpedon choredon to P. sarpedon 

 impar, and also to a certain degree to P. isander. The additional spot is, however, 

 not an altogether new character, but is found indicated by some whitish scales in a 

 few specimens of other subspecies of sarpedon. 



d/): P. sarpedon impar subsp. nov. [?]. 

 ? . Wings shaped as in P. isander G. & .S., ground colour of the wings darker 

 than in typical P. sarpedon choredon Feld. 



Uppjerslde : Forewings with the median band broader behind than in P. isander;
