Forewiiigs narrower t ban iii tvijical P. (((jainemnon, outer margin less concave; 

 the green markings larger ; the two discal spots between submedian and lower 

 median veins completely merged together to a rather broad streak. llindwiugs 

 shaped as in the Amboina race, i.e., shorter and broader than in typical P. 

 agamemnon, tails much reduced in botli sexes. Underside, postcostal black mark 

 large, its interior red border long, strongly marked and more arched than in 

 P. agamemnon ; inside each of the submarginal green spots, joined to these spots, 

 stands a black marking which is larger tlum in P. agariieiniion. 



Head, like all the eastern races, devoid of tlie pink colour which is present 

 anteriorly in P. agamemnon. 



The fem,ales are apparently less rare than in India, as in many of the wide- 

 spread Eastern Papilios.

]Montrouzier's description of the Woodlark agamemnon, which he calls " P. 

 oegistus L." contains two characters which point to the present race ; there is only 

 one red spot in the anal region on the underside of the hindwings, and the third 

 macular row on the forewings consists of four markings, the third of which (behind 

 cell) is long. 



The yueenslaud examples have the tails longer than typical ligattis lu.

Smaller than all the other races of P. agamemnon. In the shape of the wings 

 similar to typical P. agamemnon, but the tails slenderer. Markings of the fore- 

 wings as small as in the Celebesian and Halmaberan races ; the fourth spot of the 

 fourth row, which ends near the anal angle, stands with the other spots of the same 

 row in a straight line, wliile it is situated a little further to the outer margin in 

 P. agamemnon L. and celebetisis Fickert. 



In the typical .specimen from the Tenimber Islands all the postcellular spots on 

 the underside of the forewings are entirely covered with whitish scales as in the 

 Halmaberan race, and the markings to tlie hindwings are minute. In the Wetter 

 specimen the markings on the hindwings are a little larger, and of the postcellular 

 .spots of the forewings below only that above the upper median nervule is completely 

 scaled ; in this respect the Wetter specimen approaches typical agamemnon, which 

 have the interior portion of the three u])])er (large) postcellular .spots gi'een, i.e., 

 devoid of scaling.
