Three geographical forms are l;no\vn. 



(a): P. cloanthus "NVestw., forma typ. [c?,?]. 



I have a female specimen from Kulu, North-West India, in which the green parts 

 are enlarged ; the two cellular spots of the forewings are merged together, the black 

 band inside the submarginal line of the forewings is as narrow as that outside tlie 

 line. The male from the same locality is not different from Sikkim examples. 



The spot in the end of the cell of the forewings has in P. cloanthus We.stw. 

 the same position as a minute spot referred to under P. sarpedon imparllls mihi. 

 As in all the allied species the female does not essentially differ from the male, 

 except (of course) in the absence of the abdominal fold to the hindwings. 



Hah. North India: Assam (2 S), Sikkim (14 cJ, 1 ?), Nepaul, North-West 

 India (Kulu ; 1 c?, 1 ?) ; Shan States (4 J). 



Not yet found in the Malay Peninsula, where it certainly will turn up, as a 

 subspecies of P. cloanthus Westw. occurs in Sumatra. 



(b) : P. cloanthus clymenus Leech [J]. 



Papilio cloniilhn.i var. chiiiiiiii,^ Leech, Biilt.fi-om Chi,,,.,, etc. p. 523. t. 32. f. 2 (1893). 



Green markings smaller than in P. cloanthus ; median nervure, its upper two 

 branches and part of its lower branch black. Black area of the hindwings much 

 broader; the portion inside the submarginal spots almost twice as broad at the 

 anterior margin of the wing as in P. cloanthus. Female not described ; unknown 

 to me ; is probably of a less deep black tint than the male. 



Hah. Central and Western China (17 S). 



A specimen from Ichang in inv .Museimi is indistinguisliablo from certain 

 Sikkim examples. 



(cj : P. cloanthus suinatranus llagen. 



(J ? . P,ipir,o cloniiikus var. siim,ilr„mis Hagen, Ii-i.i VII. p. 27. sub n. 33 (1894) (Sumatra). 



JIarkings yellowish green. The first submarginal spot of the hinder wings 

 stands in the middle of the black margin ; four marginal white lunules, two before 

 and two behind the tail ; greenish area of the underside of the forewings densely 

 scaled between lower median nervule and inner margin. 



Hab. Sumatra (3 S).
