80. Papilio Gigon, n. s. Tab. VII. fig. 6 ( ? ). 



"P. Gigon" List of Papilionidse in Brit. Mus. p. 27 (no description). 



Mucli larger than P. Demolion ; costal margin of the fore wings very much arched 

 fi'om the base ; tail proportionally shorter. 



Upper side : — markings as in P. Demolion, vsith the following differences. In the 

 cell of the fore wings are four longitudinal curved greyish-yellow lines ; the yellow band 

 begins higher on the abdominal margin, and curves outward toward the tip, where the 

 spots are obKquely elongate, and the three last distinctly notched; on the hind wings 

 the lunulate spots are much deeper and are rather further from the margin, and the two 

 spots at the outer angle (often obsolete in P. Demolion) are large and weU marked. 



Under side : — the markings resemble those of P. Demolion, but are stronger ; the band 

 of silvery spots is much more sinuate, and possesses an additional lunule above the outer 

 angle ; a patch of ochre-yellow covers the lower margin of the cell, extending a little 

 along the nervures which radiate from it. 



Abdomen blackish, with numerous stripes and spots of pale yellow. 



Expanse of wings 4f to h\ inches. 



Hab. Celebes, Sulla Island {Wall). 



Memark. — This was regarded by Boisduval as a large variety of P. Demolion (see Sp. 

 G6n. Lep. p. 221) ; but it offers remarkable differences both in form and markings.

Local form a {Malay amis). — The two spots on the lower margin of the cell of the 

 hind wings wanting ; anal spots redder, and the ocellus at the outer angle darker : two 

 spots in ceU of fore ^ings, as in the type ; but in Flores specimens these approach so as 

 almost to unite. 



Hab. Singapore, Flores {Wall.), Manilla.
