the sub-apical creamy- white hand on the forG-%viiig (the five spots of 

 which it is formed being considerably lonjrer), in having; an additionnl 

 spot of the same colour at the apex of tlie cell, and t\vo small, pale 

 oehreoas spots on the hind margin. The hind Mings have the discal 

 creamy-white patch straight on its inner edge, and continued to the 

 abdominal margin by two additional pale ochreons spots ; the marginal 

 spots of both wings are also more strongly marked. The under side 

 differs in having tlie white markings generally more extended, and the 

 additional spot in the cell of the fore-wings as on the upper side. Hab.

In compaviag an example of PapUio fattimm taken in Sumatra with 

 the specimons in the British Museum, I found thi.^ nearly-related species 

 unnameJ in tlie collection, which the authoiities have kindly permitted 

 me to describe here. 



PapiUo itam-putl, Butler, sp. no v. —Allied to P. alvc'hmdes. but the 

 black markings ou the primaries much broader, the fourth band forming 

 an acute triangle; the external black border, occupying nearly a third 

 of the wing not completely divided by the green band (which is narrower 

 than m P.alcibiades),its inner edge sub-sigmoidal; this border terminates 

 jnst below the first median branches, not at the external angle as in P, 

 akibiades; the secondaries have slightly longer tails, and the externo- 

 anal area is greenish-gray, with black outer margin, and two black bai's 

 near the extremity of the median interspaces ; on the nnder surface, in 

 addition to the differences noted above, the outer half of the discoidal cell 

 of the primaries is ochre-yellow, and the external half of the secondaries 

 is nmfornily instead of partially ochreons. J xpanse of wings, 77 millim.

Near to M. fmrndersii, Pa^coe (Trans. Ent. Soc. 3rd ser. iii. p. 272, 1866 ) ; 

 but judging from t!ie figure (pi. xii. fig. 1), it is a more robust species. 

 It diflers chiefly m having the base of the elytra and all the humei-al 

 region thickly studded with shining granules. The scutellnm is yellow. 

 Each elytron has three patches of white pul^escence (which were doubt- 

 less yellow when the insect was alive)— the first and second placed as in 

 AL t:aundeT&u, but very irregular in form ; the third verv elongate, and as 

 if formed of the two apical spots of N. SatmdersiL The underside is 

 clothed with yellowish-grey pile, with a broad stripe along the side from 

 behind the eye to the apical segment of the abdomen; this stripe is pari: 



yellow and part white; it was probably yellow when the .specimen was 

 alive,
