I have not examined specimens from Timor, Flores, Sumha, and Sambawa ; but 

 these are doubtless intermediate between exilis from Tenimber and agameinnon 

 proper, and will best go with exilis. 



Htih. Teuimber Islands (type ; 1 ?, W. Doherty, June to July, 1892); Dammer 

 (W. Doherty: July, 1892; 1 '?); Timor; Welter (W. Doherty: May 1892; 1 cJ) ; 

 Flores ; .Sumba ; Sambawa. 



(rf) : P. agamemnon decoratus subsp. nov. [ ? ].

n. 62 (1882) (Kamorta). 

 Differs from P. agameinnon L. in the smaller spots of the inedian row to the fore- 

 wings ; in the spots before the upper median branch on the underside being entirely 

 scaled ; in the short tails ; and especially in the pattern of the underside of the 

 hindwings ; the red post-costal spot is relatively small, but the red itart has much 

 increased against the black part ; besides the large red anal mark and the mark 

 before the first discocellular veinlet, there is a large red spot in the lower median 

 cellule, a smaller red spot in each of the three preceding cellules, and a streak-like 

 red spot at the base of the lower median cellule. 



In the amount of red on the underside of the hindwings this form comes nearest 

 to P. agamemnon salomonia m. ; but can be distinguished by the spots on the 

 hindwings being much larger than those in the apical half of the cell to the fore- 

 wings ; by the discal spot of the forewings below, which stands before the upper median 

 nervule, being completely scaled ; by the post-costal red and black mark to the 

 hindwings being much smaller ; and by the undersm-face having that peculiar pinkish 

 vinaceous colour which is found in typical agamemnon L. 



In shape and size it resembles also P. agamemnon jMsthenes Feld. ; the spots 

 within the cell of the forewings are, however, much smaller ; the post-costal red spot 

 to tlie hindwings is smaller; the forewings are narrower; the spots on the hindwings 

 are larger ; and those of the submarginal row stand nearer the margin. 



Andaman specimens I have not seen; they belong probably to this subspecies. 

 Hab. Xicobar Islands (Kamorta) (2 ?); Andaman Islands (?).

 Popilio agamiiuiimi var. celebensis Fickert, Zool. Ja/irb. p. 730. sub n. la (1889). 



Though Fickert does not give any other character of his var. celebensis than the 

 size, there can be no doubt that he really meant the present race ; the name of 

 celebeTisis, however, will probably sink in future, as there is already a Papilio 

 codoiis celebensis Wall, which, in my opinion, will come into the same genus with 

 P. agamemnon L. 



Large. Forewings long, costal margin strongly arched in the basal region. 

 Markings small on both wings.
