Dififers from P. ar/ame'iunon argynnus Druce chiefly iu the spots of the median

I have a specimen each from the Island of Ugi, close to Guadalcanar Island, and 

 from the Pelew Islands (Palau Islands), which repre.sent ap]iarently two more local 

 forms of P. arjumemnon L. : — 



(1) The female from the Pelew Islands has the forewings shaped as P. agaiiiem- 

 non L., but marked as P. agameinnon guttatus subsp. nov. ; the hindwings are 

 less broad than in guttatus, the tails reduced, the diseal spots of the size of those 

 of the median row of the forewiugs. 



Underside : the postcellular spot above the upper median nervule on the fore- 

 wings entirely scaled ; the hindwings with one red spot in the anal region. 

 The front of the head is not pinkish anteriorly. 



(2) The specimen (?) from Ugi Island is very remarkable for the .size of its 

 markings. The black bands on the forewings separating the three basal green bands 

 are scarcely of more than half the breadth of the latter ; the three postcellular spots 

 of the forewings between the lower median and lower discoidal nervules are regularly 

 trapeziform, the black interstices between them of about a fifth the breadth of the 

 spots. The markings of the hindwings are a little larger than in typical P. agamem- 

 non L. 



I must await further material before 1 can treat the Pelew and Igi specimens 

 as belonging to two more subspecies of agamemnon.
