OF THE MALAYAN REGION. 71 



Plate VII. 



Represents six remarkable species of Papilio not before figured. N.B. Except in fig. 1, the rio-ht side 



shows the upper surface, and the left side the under surface of the same insect. 

 Fig. 1. Papilio Thule, male. The upper surfaces of two varieties or local forms of this species are fio-ured. 



The right side represents the form found in New Guinea, the left side that obtained in Waigiou. 



It resembles Danais sobrina, Bd., which inhabits the same countries, and varies in a somewhat 



similar manner (see pages 20 and 63). 

 Fig. 3. Papilio ALnigma, male, from Sumatra (see page 60). This species was named as above, from 



its puzzling resemblance to Papilio Paradoxa, which is found in the same districts. Both 



species appear to mimic Euplaea Midamus (see page 20). 

 Fig. 2. Papilio Miletus, male, from Celebes (see page 65). This species and the next exhibit in a 



striking manner the abruptly curved wing peculiar to Celebes. Figs. 5 and 6 represent species 



almost equally remai-kable in this respect. 

 Fig. 4. Papilio Teltphus, male, from Celebes (see page 67). 

 Fig. 5. Papilio Androcles, male, from Celebes (see page 63). 

 Fig. 6. Papilio Gigon, female, from Celebes (see page 59). 



Plate VIII. 



Illustrates, by comparative outlines of the anterior wings, the local modification of form in the Papilios 

 of Celebes as compared with those of the surrounding islands. In each pair of outlines, tlie 

 upper one represents a species peculiar to Celebes, while the one beneath it shows the most 

 closely allied species or variety from any of the surrounding islands. (For details, see page 16.) 

 The following are the names of the species: — 



Fig. 1 . Papilio Gigon, from Celebes ; P. Demolion, from Java. 



Fig. 2. Papilio Macedon, from Celebes; P. Peranthus, from Java. 



Fig. 3. Papilio Androcles, from Celebes ; P. Antiphates, from Borneo. 



Fig. 4. Papilio Telephus, from Celebes; P. Jason, from Sumatra. 



Fig. 5. Papilio Miletus, from Celebes; P. Sarpedon, from Java. 



Fig. 6. Papilio Agamemnon, var., from Celebes ; P. Agamemnon, var., from Sumatra.
