Papilio Indicatus, Butler, " Annals and Magazine of Natural History," ser. 4, 

 vol. 18, p. 248, n. 92 (187G). 



Exp. 4f inches. 



Uppeeside brown, fore wings darkest for three-quarters of their length from 

 the base, and with two pale spots just below the costa at the extremity of the 

 dark part of the wing, the upper one bifid, and the lower one placed a little 

 beyond it ; incisions of all the wings cream-colour. Hind wings with a large 

 greenish-white spot in their upper and outer half, divided into three by the 

 nervures, throwing off a small curved streak to the costa, and another short 

 streak in the direction of the anal spot, which consists of an orange lunule 

 indistinctly surrounded with blackish. Between this and the last cream- 

 colom-ed mark are two patches of scattered blue scales. 



Underside paler brown, fore wings with the pale subcostal spots whiter ; 

 hind wings with the gi'eenish- white spot represented by three much smaller, 

 whiter, and more separated spots, corresponding to its outer portion ; there is 

 also a white lunule on the costa, and a row of six yellowish submargiual dashes, 

 within which are obsolete blackish spots, extending nearly to the white mark- 

 ings on the upper half of the wing, and to the bluish dusting (which is more 

 distinct than on the upperside) on the lower half; the anal markings are more 

 distinct than above, and the incision below the black spot is marked with an 

 irregularly triangular white spot, slightly surmoimted with yellow. 



In the Collections of the Britisli Museum and of Henley G-roso Smitli, from New Guinea. 



The species varies a little in the extent of the j)ale markings, and in the specimen here 

 figured all those on both surfaces of the hind wings are larger than in either of the type 

 specimens in the British Museum, both of which are likewise females.
