p. 247. n. 71) gave a full description of the upperside from a figure 

 on a plate in Gray's then unpublished ' Lepidopterous Insects of 

 Nepaul in the Collection of Major-General Hardwicke.' The plate 

 is quoted by Boisduval as no. 1, but was published as no. 3. Most 

 clear in the description is the notice of the two basal bands of the 

 wings: — " La premiere, pres do la base, se continuant sur le bord 

 abdominal des iufe'rieures ; la seconde egalement commune, mais no 

 de'passant pas la cellule discoi'dale des infe'ricures." 



These bands are quite obvious in Gray's figures of glycerion in 

 'The Lepidopterous Insects of Nepaul ' (1846). 



In the interval, however, between Boisduval's description and the 

 issue of Gray's plate, Westwood (Arcana Ent. ii. p. 24, t. 55. f. 3, 

 1843) had figured, under the name of glycerion, Gray, the underside 

 of a Papilio which was not the species described by Gray and Bois- 

 duval, though he quotes the latter's detailed description as absolving 

 him from figuring the upperside. 



Westwood's specimen came from " Semlah, in the East Indies," 

 and he received it from Captain Parry. 



Oberthiir, in 1879 (Et. d'Ent. iv. p. 115), described a Chinese 

 form, entirely rightly, an glycerion, var. mandarinus ; and in 1886 

 de Niceville (Journ. As. Soc. Beng. Iv. p. 254) described, as inter- 

 mediate between glycerion, Gray, andtonerlanus, Ob., Papilio paphus 

 from Sikkim, and. for comparison, figured on pi. xi. torn. cit. the 

 undersides of the species he called glycerion, Gray, and paphus, 

 de Nicev. 



Unfortunately glycerion, de Niceville and of most authors, in 

 glycerion, Westwood, nee Gray, as is obvious from the mention and 

 figure of the median black line on the hind wings in the description 

 of Boisduval and the drawing of Gray ; and should further evidence 

 be required, Gray's type is in the National Collection. 



Papilio paphus, de Niceville, became a synonym of P. glycerion, 

 Gray, and glycerion, Westw. et auct. plur., was without a name till 

 Rothschild's invaluable monograph on Eastern Papilios appeared in 

 Novit. Zool. vol. ii. (1895), where the author bestowed the name 

 caschmirensis on a subspecies, 165 (b), of what he, misled apparently 

 by Westwood's error of identification, considered glycerion, Gray. 



The subspecies 165 (a), " Papilio glycerion, forma typica " of the 

 monograph, is still unnamed, and for this, the prevalent Sikkim 

 form, I propose the subspecific name sikkimica. 



The name of species no. 165 will be then caschmirensis, Roth- 

 schild, with subspecies sikkimica, mihi ; and species no. 167 will 

 6tand as glycerion, Gray, with mandarinus, Ob., as a subspecies. 



Paphus, de Nicev., being a synonym of glycerion, Gray, forma 

 typica, disappears altogether. 



The type of the genus Pazala, Moore (1888), is Pap. glycerion, 

 Gray.
