Papilio weiskei stresemanni subsp. nov. 



cJ . Differs from w. weishei in the hindwings being much wider and more rounded. Above 

 it differs from the green ? of w. iveiskei and the S w. goodenovii on the forewings by the 

 nile-green patches being sky-bhie, and the one below vein 1 is also shorter. On the 

 hindwing above, the basal green spot and the basal portion of cell and the patch above 

 veins 1 and 4 are densely clothed with long white hairs not present in the 2 other 

 forms; it also differs in having a complete row of 5 medium-sized pale blue sub- 

 marginal spots. The green basal area of cell is much larger, and at its apical end, 

 together with the 2 spots above veins 1 and 4, passes into sky-blue. Below on fore- 

 wing the patches, which are white in m'. weiskei, are pale blue, and on hindwing the 

 green patch below cell passes into blue.
