  PapUio 
  Telearchus. 
  (PI. 
  VI. 
  fig. 
  3.) 
  

  

  Upperside. 
  Anterior 
  wing 
  of 
  a 
  rich 
  purple, 
  triangular 
  and 
  

   pointed 
  at 
  the 
  apex, 
  with 
  an 
  oval 
  spot 
  of 
  blue 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  

   cell, 
  a 
  submarginal 
  row 
  of 
  eight 
  triangular 
  spots 
  of 
  blue 
  and 
  white 
  

   further 
  from 
  the 
  apex 
  than 
  the 
  rest 
  of 
  the 
  outer 
  margin. 
  Half 
  

   way 
  between 
  this 
  row 
  of 
  spots 
  and 
  the 
  spot 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  

   a 
  second 
  parallel 
  row 
  of 
  seven 
  larger 
  triangular 
  blue 
  spots, 
  that 
  

   nearest 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  double. 
  Posterior 
  wing 
  brown, 
  with 
  a 
  

   submarginal 
  line 
  of 
  indistinct 
  black 
  spots, 
  those 
  nearest 
  the 
  upper 
  

   margin 
  pupilled 
  with 
  blue. 
  

  

  Underside 
  light 
  rufous 
  brown, 
  with 
  a 
  submarginal 
  line 
  of 
  white 
  

   spots 
  corresponding 
  with 
  those 
  above. 
  Anterior 
  wing 
  with 
  a 
  basal 
  

   white 
  spot. 
  Posterior

  In 
  iTiy 
  own 
  collection. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  very 
  closely 
  allied 
  to 
  the 
  P. 
  Paradoxa 
  of 
  Java, 
  

   from 
  which 
  it 
  scarcely 
  differs 
  in 
  marking, 
  except 
  in 
  the 
  relative 
  

   distance 
  of 
  the 
  blue 
  spots 
  from 
  the 
  outer 
  margin. 
  It 
  is, 
  however, 
  

   very 
  different 
  in 
  the 
  contour 
  of 
  the 
  anterior 
  wing. 
  Whilst 
  that 
  

   of 
  P. 
  Paradoxa 
  is 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  tip, 
  the 
  wing 
  of 
  P. 
  Telearchus 
  

   is 
  lengthened 
  to 
  a 
  point. 
  It 
  is, 
  too, 
  a 
  much 
  larger 
  butterfly, 
  and 
  

   bears 
  no 
  closer 
  likeness 
  to 
  P. 
  Paradoxa 
  than 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  Euplceas 
  

   of 
  different 
  species 
  (which 
  it 
  represents 
  in 
  the 
  genus 
  Papilio) 
  do 
  to 
  

   each 
  other. 
  

  

  Papilio 
  Pausanias. 
  (PI. 
  VI. 
  fig. 
  2.) 
  

  

  Upperside 
  black, 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  each 
  wing 
  glossed 
  with 
  bluish- 
  

   green 
  ; 
  anterior 
  wing 
  oblong 
  and 
  narrow, 
  rounded 
  at 
  the 
  tip, 
  the 
  

   outer 
  margin 
  nearly 
  straight, 
  with 
  a 
  central 
  spot 
  of 
  yellow 
  — 
  one 
  

   half 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  cell, 
  the 
  other 
  below 
  the 
  median 
  

   nervure 
  and 
  tripartite. 
  At 
  the 
  apex 
  a 
  round 
  almost 
  transparent 
  

   patch. 
  Posterior 
  wing 
  very 
  short, 
  dentated, 
  with 
  a 
  submarginal 
  

   row 
  of 
  white 
  lunular 
  spots. 
  

  

  Underside 
  brown. 
  Anterior 
  wing 
  in 
  markings 
  as 
  above. 
  Pos- 
  

   terior 
  wing 
  with 
  the 
  white 
  lunules 
  of 
  the 
  upperside, 
  and 
  above 
  them 
  

   a 
  row 
  of 
  similar 
  lunules 
  (but 
  more 
  pointed) 
  of 
  crimson, 
  with 
  parallel
