120 Miscellaneous. 



p. 247. D. 71) gave a full description of tlie Ui)perside from a figuro 

 on a plate in Gray's then unpublished ' Lepiilopterous Insects of 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, pros do la base, se continuant sur le bord 

 abdominal des inferieures ; la seconde egalement commune, mais ne 

 depassant pas la cellule discoVdale des inferieures." 



These hands are quite obvious in Gray's figures of (jlycerion in 

 •The Lepidoptcrous Insects of Xopaul ' (184G). 



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

 issue of Gray's plate, Westwood (Arcana Ent. ii. p. 24, t. no. f. 3, 

 1843) had figured, under the name of (jhjcerion, Gray, the undersido 

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

 duval, though he quotes the hitter'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, enlirely rightly, a!^ gh/cerion, var. mandnrinus ; and in 1886 

 de Niceville (Journ. As. Soc. Pong. Iv. p. 254) descril)ed, as inter- 

 mediate hetwecn gli/cerion, Gray, and t imerlanus, Ob., Pctpilio paphus 

 from Sikkini, and. for comparison, figured on pi. xi. toin. cit. the 

 undersides of the species he called gh/ceriun. Gray, and jjaplms, 

 de Nicev, 



Unfortunately gli/cerion, de Niceville and of most authors, is 

 gli/cerion, Westwood, nee Gray, as is obvious from the nieiiliim 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 pnj)hus, de Niceville, became a synonym of P. gJgcerivn, 

 Gray, and ghjcerion, 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 

 msclimirensis on a subspecies, l(55(/>), of what he, misled apparently 

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



The subspecies 165 («), " Pajiilio gh/cerion, forma fi/pica " of the 

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

 form, I propose the subspccitic name sikkimica. 



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

 Bchild, with subspecies sllfliimicci, mihi; and species no. 167 will 

 stand OS glgcerion, Gray, with mamhtrinus, Ob., as a subspecies. 



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

 typica, disappears altogether. 



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

 Gray.
