 There are two local forms. 



(rt): P. macfarlanei lUitl., forma tvp. [(?, ?]. 



About P. aerjisthus L. see p. 449. 



The examples from tlie different i.-^lands of the Jloluccas, Waigeu, and New 

 Guinea, though rather variable in the .«ize and niimbrv of the markings in overj 

 locality, cannot be separated subspecifically. 



The discal band to the hindwings is sometimes much reduced in length, 

 especially often in the female, which does not essentially differ from the riiale, 

 except in the absence of the alxlominal fold to the hindwings.

The spots of the hindwings are nearly all obliterated. 



Hah. New Britain. 



Dr. A. G. Butler compares this PapiVw with P. agahiemnon, while it really 

 belongs to P. macfarlanei Butl., according to the description and the type-specimen. 



In P. mncfarlanei Butl. the spots of the Iiindwings are sometimes also partly 

 obliterated as said above, and such specimens come very close to seminiger.
