356 ItlloI'ALOCEKA MALAVANA. 



Two species are here enunierated, but two others, P. macarem, Godt., and P. dehaanii, 

 Wall., are likewise recorded by Mr. Wallace as found at Malacca ; * these are not here 

 included, as up to the present time the writer has neither received nor seen specimens from 

 the Peninsula. 



19. Papilio delessertii. (Tab. XXVII. ?>, fig. 4, <? ). 



Paijilio Delexaertii, Giieriu, Deless. Souv. Inde. ii. p. 68, t. 17 (1843); Gray, Cat. Lep. Papil. p. 71, n. 325 

 (1852) ; Wall. Trans. Linu. Soc. vol. xxv. p. 62, u. 93 (1865) ; Butl. Trans. Linn. Soc. ser. 2, Zool. 

 vol. i. p. 552, u. 10 (1877). 



Male and Female. Wings above pale lavender in hue ; anterior wings with the whole costal area 

 and apes black, containing a series of small whitish spots above cell ; cell black, with two small basal 

 spots and four transverse fascife pale lavender, — of these fascite the two innermost are oblique, the two 

 outermost irregularly bent, and the one at apex of cell frequently broken, — neuration broadly blackened, 

 and thus widened triangularly at outer margin ; a submarginal series of black spots divided by the 

 nervules and a black patch resting on bases of the discoidal and upper median nervules — in many 

 specimens the ground colour is broken up and appears at end of cell as a series of about five pale spots. 

 Posterior wings with the neuration — broadly — a submarginal series of spots, and a broad outer margin 

 black ; the two submarginal spots near anal angle more or less margined with bright ochraceous. Wings 

 beneath as above, but paler, the black markings smaller, broken, and there replaced by pale purplish black ; 

 posterior wings with a large bright ochraceous patch above anal angle, and the outer margin broken and 

 macular. Body more or less concolorous with wings ; legs streaked with blackish. 



Exp. wings, <y and ? , 83 to 95 millim. 



Hab. — Malay Peninsula '. Province Wellesley (colls. Saiier and Dist.) ; Sungei Ujong (Durnford — coll. 

 Dist.) ; Malacca (Pinwill — Brit. Mus. ; Biggs — coll. Dist.) ; Singapore (Gray).— Borneo (Lowe — coll. Dist.) ; 

 Elodina (Pryer — coll. Dist.). 



This is not an abundant species in the Peninsula, and though most collections made 

 there contain it, it is always in very limited number. 



20. Papilio leucothoe. (Tab. XXVII. a, figs. 2 ■? , 3 ? .) 



Piiliilio Leuciithue, Westwood, Arc. Ent. ii. t. 79, f. 3 (1845); Oberth. Etudes d'Eut. Quatr. Livr. p. 100, 

 n. 317, and p. 117, n. 317 (1879). 



Male. Anterior wings above dark fuscous, with the following greyish-white markings : — two small 

 basal spots, five small spots in and towards end of cell,— the outer four arranged in pairs, — three small 

 spots beyond end of cell, followed by four larger spots separated by the nervules, three long fasciate-like 

 streaks beneath cell divided by the second and third median nervules, — the innermost longest and 

 duplex,— a streak on inner margin, and a submarginal series of small spots ; posterior wings greyish- 

 white, with the neuration, a basal patch emitting a streak which enters and nearly crosses cell, and 

 a marginal and submarginal fascia— enclosing a series of pale lunulate spots — dark fuscous. Wings 

 beneath with the markings similar, but the dark coloration very much paler than above. Body above very 

 dark fuscous, the inner margin of eyes and spots on pronotum greyish-white ; body beneath dark fuscous, 

 the thorax spotted, and the abdomen striped with greyish-white. 



Female. Darker and brighter than the male, and differing from that sex in the following 

 particulars: — the anterior wings do not possess the pale cellular spots, and the three fasciate-like streaks
