56 MR. A. R. WALLACE ON THE PAPILIONID^ 



closely followed by two males of the ordinary form ; they were watched for some time, 

 the males hovering over the females in the manner usual before pairing ; and the three 

 were then captured at one stroke of the net. This occurred three years after the captui-e 

 of the specimen figured by Mr. Hewitson, and at once convinced me that these puzzling 

 specimens were an additional form of female to a well-known male. The fact that the 

 only females known of an allied species (P. Tydeus) are intermediate between these forms 

 confirms this determination.

72. Papilio PA^•DIOX, n. s. 



3Iale. Closely resembles P. Ormenus, but presents the following differences : — 

 Upper side : — the band of spots across the fore wings is faintly marked, or more 

 frequently quite absent ; the grey lines bordering the nervures at the apex are more dis- 

 tinct ; on the hind wings, the first three indentations of the whitish patch are followed 

 by faint powdered lunules of the same colour. 



Under side : — the apex of the fore wings is strongly marked with grey lines between 

 the nervures, but has generally no spots ; on the hind wings there is a curved submargi- 

 nal band of lunules across the wing, viz., at the anal angle a large irregular red lunulate 

 spot with a blue and a grey mark above it — 2nd, a larger grey lunule with an angidar 

 blue mark below it, and a red lunule nearer the margin — 3rd, a similar grey lunule and 

 blue mark — Ith, a larger grey lunule, and a smaller blue mark with a faint red lumule 

 below — 5th, a grey lunule and a faint blue dash below — 6th, a blue lunule with a faint 

 grey mark above — 7th, a blue lunule with a very faint mark above it. These vary some- 

 what in different specimens, but the whole series can always be traced. 



1st form of female. 



Scarcely distinguishable from the typical female of the last species : the blue lunules 

 on the under surface form a complete scries, almost as in P. Erectheus ? . 

 Hab. New Guinea, Sahvatty, Mysol Island (with the male) [IJ'alL). 



2nd form of female. 



Upper surface : — fore wings as in P. Onesimiis, Hew. ; hind wings yellowish white, a 

 broad black border along the anterior, and a narrow one along the posterior margin, two 

 yellowish lunules near the outer angle, anal angle pale yellow, then an oblong black spot 

 with a bluish mark in its upper part, followed by a second (haK-obliterated) black spot. 



Under surface with the same markings ; but there are a series of six blue angulated 

 mai*ks upon a black ground, the two intermediate ones being smaller and less distinct. 

 Abdomen vellow : under side black.

Hemarks. — This specimen was taken in company with two males, as before mentioned. 

 An insect, described by M. Montrouzier as the female of his P. Godartii (from Woodlark 

 Island), agrees very closely with this, and is no doubt the female of the same species, or a 

 closely allied one which he puts in his list as P. Ormenus. The fact, therefore, that this 

 peculiar pale form of female Fapilio has been found in five islands, from no one oi ^vhich
