of a deeper green colour. On the under surface the marginal lunules, the cell-spots, and 

 sub-basal stripe are all larger. 



Variety or dimorphic form a. — Evemon, Bois. Sp. Gdn. Lep. p. 234. 



Hab. Malacca, Java, Sumatra, Borneo ( J , 2). {Wall.) 



This may be a distinct species, but is more probably a case of dimorphism. The two 

 forms are absolutely identical, except that the red spot at the base of the lower wings 

 beneath, in F. Jason, is constantly absent in P. Evemon. 



116. Papilio Telephus, n. s. Tab. VII. fig. 4(d). 



Larger than P. Eurijjii/lus ; anterior wings more elongated, with their costal margin 

 abruptly curved near the base. 



Above, the four spots in the cell of the upper wings linear, of equal width, not in- 

 creasing in thickness from the base outwards, as in P. Eimjpykis ; the macular band 

 narrower, nearly white on the lower wings ; abdomen and abdominal margin pure white. 



Beneath, the red anal spot is not produced upwards along the abdominal margin, the 

 pearly spots have a distinct dusky border, owing to their exceeding in size those on the 

 upper surface. Expanse of wings 4:j inches. 

 Hab. Celebes [Wall). 



Bemarks. — This is a powerful species of very rapid flight, and difficult to capture. It 

 comes about muddy places in the villages of South Celebes, and is also found abundantly 

 at pools in the half-dry mountain-streams. I consider it quite distinct from all the allied 

 forms.

P. jEffistus, L. ; Cram. Pap. Ex. t. 241. f. C, D ; Boisd. Sp. Gen. Lep. p. 2.51.

This species presents numerous slight modifications of form and marking, which seem 

 hardly prominent enough to characterize as species, though tolerably constant in each 

 locality. Type tailed. 



Hab. India, Manilla. 



Local form a. Tail shorter ; wings rather pointed. 



Hab. Timor, Flores [Wall). 



Local form b. Tail as in the last ; two outer rows of spots on the lower wings absent. 



Hab. Ke Island [Wall). 



Local form c. Size small ; tail very short. 

 Hab. jNIalacca, Sumatra, Borneo, Java [Wall.]. 



Local form d. Wings much elongated, abruptly curved near the base ; tail very short ; 

 size large. 



Hab. Celebes [Wall.].
