PAPILIO. 33 



there is a very long series of lama, many of which seem to me 

 identical with specimens of philoxenus from Sikhim. The measure- 

 ments given above are taken from the Leech collection specimens.

3 Upperside brownish black. Fore wing with velvety -black 

 internervular streaks that are extended into the cell in many 

 specimens ; veins black. Hind wing : a subterminal series of white 

 markings more or less tinged with crimson, the markings in inter- 

 spaces 2, 3 and 4 Junular, in 5 and 6 elongate rectangular, in 7 a 

 minute spot, the white rectangular marking in interspace 5 con- 

 spicuously larger than the others ; a spot on each side of vein 4 

 on the tail crimson. Underside similar; ground-colour very much 

 paler ; on the hind wing an additional pale crimson spot more 

 towards the base of interspaces 1 and 2. Antennas, thorax and 

 abdomen black ; head crimson ; beneath : the palpi, sides of the 

 thorax, and abdomen crimson, the palpi with a mixture of black 

 hairs, the abdomen at the base and on the sides spotted with 

 black. $ similar; ground-colour brown, very much paler than 

 in the <$ ; internervular, velvety-black streaks on fore wing very 

 narrow. Hind wing : ground-colour of outer half beyond discal 

 markings black ; markings similar to those in the d 1 , but larger 

 and purer white on the upperside ; in addition a series of white 

 discal spots near base of interspaces 1, 2, 3 and 4, that in inter- 

 space 1 tinged with crimson ; on the underside the markings are 

 similar, but both the discal and the subterminal posterior spots 

 are more strongly tinged with crimson. Antennae, head, thorax 

 and abdomen much as in the d .

d" $ . Eesembles P. ravana, Moore, but is smaller, with the 

 markings also proportionately smaller, d differs as follows : 

 the subterminal series of lunules on the hind wing crimson or 

 vermilion-red, never white or partly white as in ravana ; sexual 

 abdominal fold within white, not blackish-brown ; the subterminal 

 red lunule in interspace 3 very often wanting. $> resembles its 

 own d 1 rather than the $ of P. ravana, but the white rectangular 

 markings in interspaces 5 and 6 are whiter. From P. ravana $ 

 it differs in the complete absence of the white discal spots in
