Ufe-hisfories of new species of Rhopalocei'a. 315 



brown hairs ; all the nervures near base of wings and legs green ; 

 palpi densely hairy. Exp. 61 mm. 



Hah. Noumea, New Caledonia. 



Ohs. Near P. gelon, but the transverse band is much 

 wider, and the spots are larger. 



Papilio Tryoni, n. 8. 



Male : Upper side black ; primaries with a marginal band of 

 five creamy-white spots between the nervules, the one at the anal 

 angle being much the largest, the others gradually decreasing in 

 size towards the apex ; secondaries not tailed, scalloped ; a broad 

 outwardly dentate pale greenish white band across the disc, its 

 inner margin slightly impinging on lower part of cell, and its upper 

 portion occupying the space between the costa and the subcostal 

 nervure nearly to base ; a marginal row of five creamy-yellow 

 spots, the one at the anal angle the largest, the others small and 

 clouded with black atoms. Under side black ; secondaries, a 

 marginal baud of seven somewhat square-shaped spots between 

 the nervures, the three nearest the apex the smallest ; above these 

 a row of ill-defined lunules composed of pale bluish atoms, those 

 towards the apex being almost obsolete. Exp. 145 mm. 



Hah. Ugi, Solomon Islands. 



Ohs. This fine sjiecies, which I have named after 

 Admiral Sir George Tryon, K.C.B., lately Commander- 

 in-Chief of the Australian Station, is closely allied to 

 Papilio Bridgci, Math., from Treasury Island, but may 

 at once be distinguished by its greater size and the dis- 

 position of the spots in the marginal bands.
