figured in the coloured plate of butterflies, in ' Parting- 

 ton's Cyclopaedia of Natural History/ in which the green 

 band is much dilated in the middle. In the Oxford 

 Museum there are the following localized forms of Sar- 



pedon. 



Prom Assam. Hind- wings with the tooth at the ex- 

 tremity of the third branch of the median vein not 

 extending beyond that of the second branch; green 

 fascia on fore-wings, moderately divided by black veins ; 

 lunules of hind-wings narrow. Specimens from China 

 nearly agree with the preceding, but the fascia in the 

 fore-wings is somewhat more macular, and in the hind- 

 wings scarcely extending beyond the discoidal cell towards 

 the anal margin. 



From Cuna (East Indies) . Similar to the Assam spe- 

 cimens, but the hind-wings much more elongated, the 

 third branch of the median vein produced into a long 

 tooth, the part of the median vein crossing the green bar 

 of the hind-wings thick and black. Specimens from 

 Aru are nearly similar. 



From New Holland. With the green fascia gradually 

 becoming very broad at the inner margin of the fore- 

 wings, and the costal margin of the hind-wings. 



From Celebes (P. Miletus, Wallace, Linn. Trans. XXV. 

 p. 65, pi. vii. f. 2 ; P. Milon, Felder) . Fore-wings much 

 elongated, and acute at the tips, with the costal margin 

 more arched ; the green fascia in these wings of a bluer 

 colour, very narrow, and separated by the black veins 

 into distinct spots ; hind-wings with the tail scarcely 

 produced, with the green submarginal lunules of large 

 size, and strongly angulated in the middle. 



From Coram (in Mus. Hewitson) . Differs from the 

 Celebes type in the fore-wings being of the ordinary 

 form, with the green band wider, traversed only by the 

 black veins (as in the Continental types) , and the hind- 

 wings formed as in the Celebes type (both in shape and 

 in the extent of the tail) , with the green band broader 

 in the discoidal cell, the four green submarginal lunules 

 very strongly marked, and with a clear slender acute 

 lunule between the innermost lunule and the anal angle.
