721 DR. A. G. BUTLER ON BUTTERFLIES FROM ZOMBA. [Nov. 19. 



the transverse belt half as wide again, extending well beyond the 

 end of the cell ; the discal spots also larger ; a broad y\-shaped 

 orange-ochreous marking above the anal angle and a paler ochreous 

 marginal lunule below it; other marginal lunules between the 

 veins lemon-yellow ; sides of body .argillaceous : under surface of 

 wings nearly as in P. horribilis, but the pale areas more copper- 

 coloured ; the creamy bar and belt of primaries nearly as above, 

 the tapering band across the secondaries slightly different in out- 

 line and more prominent, two well-defined triangular whitish spots 

 at base of second median and upper radial interspaces: pectus and 

 legs as in P. horribilis. Expanse of wings 110 millim. 



Papilio pelodurus. 



One male specimen only was obtained, but Mr. Aurivillius, 

 whose wide experience in African Lepidoptera gives great weight 

 to his opinion, agrees with me that it is a representative of an 

 entirely new and very beautiful species. I should have liked to 

 dedicate this Papilio to its discoverer, but I am afraid that the 

 name has been already employed.
