This is the typical fonn, with wliich a number of individual siberratious occur 

 together; the principal aberrations are the following:^ 



(a-) : ab. goldiei, Godm. & Salv. 

 (J ? . Papilin goldiei, P. Z. S. pp. G13. fil4 note (1880) (New Guinea). 



Forewings with part of the discoidal cell and four long and broad posteellular 

 stripes creamy white; discal creamy white area of the hindwings larger than in 

 typical thtde. 



(/;-) : (no name), Godm. & Salv., I.e. t. 5(1. f. G (1880). 



Markings reduced to small spots ; discoidal cell of forewings without markings ; 

 hindwings with discal area as in thale, but suffused with brown. 



(c') : ab. InUhe Grose Smith. 

 Papilio leulhe Grose Smith, Nov. Zoul. I. p. 333. n. 4 (1894) (Humboldt Bay). 



Discoidal cell of forewings without spots ; discal streaks behind cell narrow and 

 short. White area of hindwings nearly as large as in ab. goldiei ; nervules very 

 thinly black. 



(<Z-) : (no name). 

 Popilin thill', local form .;, Wallace, I.e. p. G3. sub u. 98 (18()5) (Waigeu). 



Forewings as in thiiU, hindwings as in ab. goldiei and ab. leuthe. 



Hah. Dutch New Guinea (Humboldt Bay ; W. Doherty : September to October 

 1892) (8 cJ); German New Guinea (1 c?, 1 ?); Waigeu (1 c?, 1 ?). 



All the above enumerated aberrations occur in New tluinea. 



It is remarkable that no Papilio of the ?naca)-e i(s-group has as yet been found 

 on the lesser Sunda Islands, Tenimber Islands, and Aru Islands, where one can expect 

 at least a representative species of P. megarics Westw. 



B. Markings of the upperside covered with normal scales. Cell of the hindwings 

 relatively broad and short; first discocellular nervule originating at about the liasal 

 two-fifths of the subco.stal vein.

Eesembles in pattern P. delesserti G\i6r., but is quite different in structure. 



Hub. rhilipj)ine Islands: Mindanao (2 cJ, 2 ?); probably confined to ]\Iindanao. 



Felder gives Luzon as habitat of this species ; the two specimens in the Felder 

 coll. are labelled : " Luzon, Semper."' Semper found this .species, however, only on 

 Jlindanao.
