PLATE LXXIX. 
DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW ASIATIC SPECIES OF PAPILIO. 
oe ae 
PAPILIO PALEPHATES, Boisduval’s MSS. 
(Plate 79, fig. 1.) 
P. alis anticis oblongis sub-ovalibus, brunneo-nigris, serie duplici macularum albarum, versus 
apicem in plagam magnam dilatata, posticis ecaudatis maculis 5 cuneatis lunulisque sex 
submarginalibus incisurisque fulvis. 
Expans. alar. unc, 42. 
Habitat in Manilla. In Mus. reg. Paris. 
Closely allied to P. Panope, Linn., of which it will probably prove 
only a geographical variety, differing from the typical Continental 
individuals in the large pale patch near the tip of the fore wings, and 
in the hind wings beneath having the veins margined with pale buff. 
In the disposition of the markings it otherwise accords with P. 
Panope, but its fore wings are more ovate, the apical margin being 
a little rounded ; they are of a rich brown colour, with a large 
whitish patch, formed of three confluent oblong spots near the 
apex of the wing, followed by a single small oval spot close to the 
apex; and beneath these are several small conical spots, which 
become united with the marginal spots, of which there are only 
six, the apical portion of the wing not possessing them; besides 
these there are three oval or round spots preceding them, towards 
the anal angle. The hind wings are brown, with five cuneated 
pale patches, extending from the anal margin, succeeded by six 
lunate pale spots extending from the outer angle, and with five 
fulvous incisural spots, the anal angle bearing a larger oval fulvous 
spot, in which is a black dot. The fore wings on the under-side 
are of a paler brown colour, but similarly marked beyond the 
middle; the base also with several pale dashes. The hind wings 
have the veins from the base to beyond the middle edged with pale 
buff; half way between the discoidal cell and the hind margin of 
the wing is a row of five white crescents, shaded off into the 
ground colour of the wing, and separated by brown arches from a 
row of white horse-shoe marks, within which are six large fulvous 
incisural marks ; the base of all the wings with small round white 
spots; the body and abdomen are also spotted with black. 
PAPILIO XENOCLES. 
(Plate 79, fig. 2.) 
Syn.— Papilio Xenocles, Doubleday, in Gray’s Zool. Misc., p. 74. 
P. alis sub-ovalibus ecaudatis, fuscis albido-virescenti striatis et maculatis, posticis macula 
fulva ad angulum ani notatis. 
Expans. alar. unc. 33. 
Habitat in Assam. In Mus. H. Doubleday. 
Nearly allied to P. Macareus, from which it differs at once in the 
fulvous patch at the anal angle, in which respect it agrees with
