untiring energj' the writer is indebted for much material from 

 that part of the world. 



Habitat, Kala Bula Hills, N. Borneo. Type, Ehrmann Coll. 



Ornithoptera cambyses n. sp. 



Male. — Allied to O. daritis Gray ; but the forewings are more falcate 

 at the apex than in that species, and the hindwings have a more delicate 

 yellow color (similar to O. androutache Staud.), and in each cell there is 

 a small, black, oval spot 4 mm. in diameter ; this row of spots is on the 

 submarginal inner space, and gives to this species a very odd appearance. 



I received this species some time ago from a Mr. Knechtel, 

 who had received it in a small sending from a friend who 

 resided at Columbo, Ceylon. 



Habitat, Columbo, Ceylon. Type, Ehrmann Collection. 



Papilio klagesi n. sp. 



Feviale. — Upper side of head, thorax, body and antennae are smoky 

 black. Forewings, the outer half is semi-transparent, becoming more 

 opaque toward the outer margin ; the inner or basal half is deep velvety 

 black ; on the fascia between veins one and three is a white quadrate- 

 shaped spot, one eighth inch wide and three-sixteenths of an inch long. 

 Hmd wings are of a uniform deep velvety black ; there is a row of five 

 bright pinkish spots in the middle area extending from the abdominal 

 margin to the apex, the first beginning at the abdominal margin is tri- 

 angulate, the second and third are oblong, the second being the longest, 

 one-eighth by one-sixteenth of an inch in size. Spots four and five are 

 almost round, spot four is one-sixteenth of an inch in diameter, while 

 number five is but one-thirty-second of an inch in diameter, dentations 

 obscure. 



Underside — There is a small red spot on the prothorax and three very 

 faint spots of the same color near the base of the wings, the two segments 

 nearest the thorax have also slight indications of a red spot on each side 

 of them ; the legs are black, all wings the same as above but of a lighter 

 shade. E.xpansion, one and four-fifths inches. 



This very interesting species of Papilio I consider of great 

 importance, as it shows a transition between the echelus Hubn. 

 and chabrias Hew. groups, and up to the present time it is the 

 smallest species known. This little creature was discovered 

 by Mr. Edw. A. Klages at Suapure, Venezuela, South America, 

 and seemed of the greatest rarity, as the writer has been in- 

 formed by that gentleman that he saw but two examples dur- 

 ing his whole sojourn in the tropics. Type in Ehrmann Coll.
