witli an additional spot behind the costal margin varying in size, but ahvaj's much 

 larger than the first (postcostal) spot of the median band ; hindwings with the spot 

 between subcostal and t lie upper discocellular veins larger than in isander ; the 

 outer border of the median band less straight; submarginal spots rather larger. 



Underside: Forewings witii the whitish submarginal lunules between the upper 

 median nervule and the hindaugle of the wing rather large and well defined ; some- 

 times there is a complete series of submarginal lunules, of wiiicli, Iiowever, the anterior 

 ones are indistinct; these lunules are sometiuies also feebly marked on the upperside. 

 Hindwings with the red markings rather larger than in isander.

In this and the next subspecies the submarginal spots to the hindwings ai-e large 

 and strongly arched, and are, like the median band, mucli more blue than in the other 

 subspecies of P. sarpedon L. 



The median band of the wings is sometimes scarcely broader than in certain 

 examples of the Celebesian race. On the underside of the forewings there is often 

 an almost complete series of submarginal whitish lunules. In one of my examples 

 from Amboina the discal red markings on the underside of the hindwings are also 

 faintly marked above.

Costal margin strongly arched ; median band narrower than in anthedon Feld. 

 The specimens from Celebes, Sulla Islands, and Talaut Island do not differ sub- 

 specifically. The median band of the wings is somewhat variable in breadth.
