114 Mr. Leech on a collection of 



secondaries black with a bluish tinge, ornamented with five deep 

 red crescent-shaped marks and an ocellus ; the latter is bordered 

 with white on its external edge, and is situated at the anal angle. 

 Along the outer margin are four small red marks, bordered exter- 

 nally with white, that situated between the extremities of the first 

 and second median nervules being much the largest. Under 

 surface ; colour, and ornamentation similar to these characters on 

 the upper side, but somewhat fainter. Head, thorax, and legs 

 black. Body bluish black. 

 Expanse, 156 mm. 



This species can at once be separated from any other 

 known Papilio by its broad spatulated tails, which are 

 traversed to their margins by two (the 2nd and 3rd 

 median) nerviiles. (PL VII., fig. la). 



I only received two examples of this interesting species. 



G4. Papilio aristoloclme, Fabr., Syst. Ent., p. 443 (1775). 



Appears to be very common at Kiukiang. Extremely 

 variable in marking, especially as regards the spots on 

 hind wings, which maybe either 2, 3,4, or 5 in number. 

 One female example has five of these spots on one hind 

 wing, and none on the opposite one. 



&5. Papilio pamnon, Linn. 



Var. horcalis, Eeld., Wein. Ent. Mon., vi., p. 22 (1862). 



This does not appear to be a common species at 

 Kiukiang. The specimens are larger than those I have 

 from Foochau and Hongkong, and the female has much 

 more red on the hind wings. The females from Kiukiang 

 (four in number) vary exceedingly. 



66. Papilio hiajior, Cram., Pap. Exot., ii., t. 103, fig. c 

 (1779) ; Lep. Jap. & Cor., P. Z. S., 1887, 404. 



Appears fairly plentiful. The spring form, which 

 closely resembles the var. japonica, Butl., seems rarer 

 than the summer form. Over a hundred examples 

 were received from Kiukiang, and no two of these are 

 alike ; the variation is greater than obtained among the 

 specimens from Japan.
