The outer edge of the stripe in 7 is about level with that in 6 giving 

 the costal patch a more wedge-like than oval shape. In cellule 9 

 are only a few scattered scales. The median patch is produced 

 anteriorly to above vein 5 as a narrow spur.

?. Forettdng with cell-spot smaller than in the type-form, second 

 discal spot larger, apical spots a little larger. Hindwing with 

 cell-spot small as in waigeuensis, Roths., marginal black broader 

 especially in cellules 4 and 5.

 Jan. 1910, A., C, and F. Pratt. 1 ? in the Tring Museum 

 bearing same locality. 



3. Papilio (Troides) paradisea arfakensis, subsp. nov. 



(Plate LVIII, fig. 1, ^.) 



This well-defined local race is particularly interesting 

 as exhibiting in the $ a likeness to meridionalis, Roths. 



(J. Upperside. — Forewing with costa more broadly black and 

 golden patch therefore narrower than in the type form. The inter- 

 space between veins 9 and 10 is sparsely scaled with green. The 

 costa is thinly scaled with green to about half length of cell. The 

 median patch is distally rounded so that the black margin is wider 

 near the outer angle than it is in the t3'pical form. Hindwing with 

 yellow extending beyond cell in cellules 3 and 4 and to a greater 

 extent in the co-type. The black margin is somewhat broader 

 between veins 5 and 7. The tails are shorter and more blunt. 



Underside of forewing with costal black entering cell, extending 

 along its upper margin and joined to a black bar crossing middle 

 discocellular between veins 5 and 6 and projecting beyond cell for 

 a third of its length ; this bar cuts oflf a small green patch at upper 

 angle of cell. The apical black is extended between veins 7 and 8. 

 The inner margin is black except for a small patch of green at the 

 middle. Hindwing as above. Legs entirely black.

* The ? figured by Kenrick, Trans. Ent. Soc, 1911, PI. IV, is 

 evidently this form, whilst the ^ on PI. Ill is probably also 

 referable to vmresiana.
