imOPALOCERA MALAYANA. 



(Ti-eyisli-white ; a triangular carmine spot occupying base of cell, beneath which the base of wing is also 

 black ; posterior wings greyish-white, the basal and cellular areas, neuration, abdominal margin, and 

 a submarginal row of large spots placed between the nervules (that at anal angle smallest), black ; these 

 spots are followed by marginal ochraceous coloration, which is also more or less distributed on the 

 abdominal area. Anterior wings beneath as above, but paler; posterior wings as above, but with carmine 

 basal spots and without the ochraceous marginal coloration. (Body mutilated.) * 



Male. I am not sure of this sex, but it is closely allied to the males of the following five species, 

 subspecies, or varieties? and will be almost indistinguishable from them above, only differing? by the 

 nature and arrangement of the spots to the under surface of the posterior wings. 



Exp. wings, 2 , 155 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula ; Singapore + (Godfery). 



One mutilated specimen, collected by Mr. Godfery at Singapore, is the only example 

 I have seen from the Malay Peninsula. 



7a. Papilio phoenix, n.sp. or var.? (Tab. XXVll.h, fig. 7 2.) 



Female. Anterior wings above fuscous, with the neuration and longitudinal streaks in cells and 

 between the nervules blackish, a large triangular red spot occupying base of cell, a very small red spot 

 beneath base of cell, and the basal area beneath cell black ; posterior wings black, dusted with a few 

 scattered bluish scales, beneath cell and from lower subcostal nervule to abdominal margin the colour is 

 greyish-white, with the neuration blackish, the outer marginal area dull reddish, containing a submarginal 

 series of large blackish spots (that above anal angle smallest), the posterior margin and anal angle 

 also black. Anterior wings beneath as above, but paler; posterior wings as above, but with basal red 

 spots and the submarginal black spots continued to apex, the two uppermost margined above with reddish. 

 Body and legs dark fuscous. 



Exp. wings, 2 , 140 millim. 



Had. — Malay Peninsula : Province Wellesley (coll. Dist.). 



A female specimen collected by myself in Province Wellesley, in 1868, is the only 

 example which I possess or have observed in any other collection. For the reasons given 

 above, it is here treated provisionally as a subspecies under a distinctive name ; it may 

 probably be proved hij breeding to be a seasonal form or variety of P. agenor. 



Ih. Papilio cilix, n.sp. or mr. ? (Tab. XXIX., fig. 4 ^ & 5 2 .) 



Male. Wings above dark greenish, the anterior wings with the cellular area, basal area beneath cell, 

 the neuration, and longitudinal streaks between the nervules blackish, and a reddish basal streak in cell ; 

 posterior wings brighter and paler greenish, the basal area, the neuration and longitudinal streaks between 

 the nervules blackish, and an obscure reddish spot at anal angle. Anterior wings beneath paler greenish, 

 the neuration, longitudinal streaks in cell and between the nervules and basal area beneath cell blackish, 

 a triangular basal red spot in cell ; posterior wings blackish, with basal red spots, the outer marginal area 

 somewhat more opaque, containing a submarginal row of spots inwardly bordered with bluish-green placed 

 between the nervules, and a marginal series of three spots situate between the discoidal nervule and the 

 lower median nervule : a large subquadrate anal-angular space reaching the second median nervule reddish, 



'■ This descriptinii is taken from a badly mutilated specimen taken at Singapore. 



I The writer has only recorded the locality from which he has received this form of the species, and is unable to 

 quote the habitats given by other authors, as tlieir treatment applies also to the following forms as varieties of P. agenor ; 

 a conclusion which mav be correct, but is not vet verified.
