OF THE MALAYAN REGION. 43 



25. Papilio Leodamas, n. s. Tab. V. fig. 2 (J). 

 P. Polydorus, in Brit. Mus. List of Papilionidae, p. 10. 



Male. Above, glossy black, upper wings immaculate (the veins pale-margined in the 

 female). Lower wings with a rounded white spot divided into six parts by fine nervures, 

 of which the outermost and that in the cell are sometimes reduced to points ; marginal 

 row of red spots obscured with black, and but faintly indicated. 



Beneath, the white patch has a small red spot attached to the part nest the anal angle ; 

 and the marginal row of sis red spots are clearly marked, that at the anal angle being 

 twice the size of the rest. Wings short, much rounded, scarcely or not at all produced 

 in the caudal region. 



Expanse of wings 3f in. to 4 in. 



Hab. New Guinea, Mysol (c?, ?) {Wall), Rockingham Bay (Australia), {Brit. Mus., ?). 



26. Papixio Diphlltjs, Esper. 



P. DipJiihis, Esp. Ausl. Schmett. t. 40. f. 1. P. Polydorus, Boisd. Sp. Gen. Lep. p. 2G7; and most 



authors. 

 Hab. Java, Malacca {Wall.), Philippine Islands, India. 



Remarks. — The specimens from Manilla are_ larger, and the females paler-coloured, 

 than those from other localities, all of which have slight characteristic peculiarities ; 

 but they also vary in the individuals from each locality, so that no perfect segregation 

 of local forms has yet taken place. 



27. Papilio Antiphus, Eabricius. 



P. Antiphus, Fab. Syst. Ent. iii. 1. pp. 10-28; Boisd. Sp. Gen. Lep. p. 266. 

 Hab. Sumatra, Borneo, Lombock, Java {Wall.), Philippine Islands. 



Bemarl-s. — The Philippine form (P. Kotzebtiea, Eschsch.) is rather larger and of a more 

 uniform glossy black than those from other localities. P. Theseus, Cram., has been 

 erroneously supposed to be the female of this species, whereas it is the female of one of 

 the Fammon group, belonging to a different section of the genus. De Haan figures 

 P. Theseus as P. Antiphus ? , in Verb. Nat. Gesch. t. 8. f. 2. As has been already pointed 

 out, P. Theseus mimics this species. 



28. Papilio Poltphontes, Boisduval. 



P. Polyphonies, Bd. Sp. Gen. Lep. p. 268. P. Hegemon, G. R. G., List of Papilionidaj in B. Mus. 

 Hab. Celebes, Batchian, Morty Isl. (d, S) {Wall.). 



Memarks. — The markings vary from pure white to a smoky tint ; but otherwise all the 

 specimens from the above localities agree. De Haan gives (Verb. Nat. Gesch. t. 8. f. 4) 

 a female of one of the Fammon group as P. Folijphontes ? . 



29. Papilio Ann^, Eelder. 



P. Anna, Feld. Lep. Nov. Philipp. p. 1. 

 Hab. Mindoro (Phihppines).
