DESCRIPTIONS OF THEEE NEW SPECIES OF PAPILIO. 

 by h. &eose smith. 



Papilio Fulleei. 



Upper-side dark brown. Both wings crossed from near the middle of the 

 anterior-wing to the inner margin of the posterior-wing by an irregular band of 

 olivaceons-yellow spots ; five on the anterior-wing distinct, those on the posterior- 

 wing confluent, intersected by the nervures. Anterior- wing with three spots towards 

 the apex, the middle spot the smallest, the other two spots bifid ; a spot within the 

 cell next the sub-costal nervure, and near the upper disco-cellular nervule. Posterior- 

 wing with a row of ten small spots in pairs near the outer margin, and three larger 

 spots between the median nervules. All the spots of same colour as the band. 



Underside as above, but much paler, and tinged with red from near the centre, 

 deepening towards the base. Posterior- wing with a round black spot on the pre- 

 costal nervure, a black line between the costal and sub-costal nervures, and a black 

 spot at the base. Exp. 3| inch. 



Unb. Camarooiis (Fuller) ; in the collection of H. Grrose Smith. 



This species is between Lato^eilUanus and Ucnlegon, but is dis- 

 tinct ; from the former principally in the colour of the spots and the 

 markings on both sides of the posterior-wing, from the latter in the 

 situation of the spot in the cell and in the double row of spots round 

 the outer margin of the posterior wing. 



Papilio Diophantus. 



Upper-side dark brown. Anterior-wing broader and not so curved on the 

 costal margin as in Helenus, which it resembles on the upper-side. Posterior-wing 

 with a tail more spatulate than in P. Helenus, and tipped with cream colour, marked 

 fi-om the costal margin to the third branch of the median nervule by a large cream- 

 coloured spot, divided by the nervures into four parts, the lowest much smaller and 

 more lunular than the other three parts. 



Under-side : anterior-wing with longitudinal rays of pale brown, narrowing 

 from the centre of the wing to the interior margin to a band of same colour as the 

 spot. The posterior-wing has at the base of the costa, and between the costal and 

 sub-costal nervures, two broad lines of red, the latter nearly twice as long as the 

 former, the large spot as above continued across the wing to the inner margin by a 

 narrow band of lunular spots of same colour ; there is a small spot of same colour 

 at the anal angle, and another at the tip of the tail, the lunular spots between the 

 nervures on the margin are more strongly marked than on the upper-side. 



Exp. 4t inch. 



Hab. Sumatra (Bock) ; in the collection of H. Grose Smith. 



Papilio Forbesi. 



Upper-side dark brown, almost black, the margins between the nervures with 

 lunular white spots, very narrow on the anterior-wing, much broader on the posterior- 

 wing, which is without tails. Anterior-wings with longitudinal rays on each side of
