Papilionidae. 



2. Papilio nehulosuSj sp. n. (PI. IV. fig. 3.) 



In some respects nearest to P. antijjhates^ in others to P. 

 euph'ates, but the primaries dull greyish black, crossed at the 

 base by two broad pale belts ; the costal half of the wing also 

 crossed by four abbreviated white bands, united below the 

 median vein so as to form two large U-shaped markings, and 

 .crossed by black veins ; submarginal tapering band as in 

 P. euphrates^ white ; a large roundish diffused patch of white 

 on the inlernal area near the exterior angle: secondaries as in 

 P. antiphates^ excepting that they appear greyish through 

 their showins; the markins-s of the under surface, and that the 

 submarginal liturte are continued upwards above the third 

 median branch. Wings below blackish ; the base and the 

 interno-median area of the secondaries sordid white or brown, 

 shading into white ; subbasal band of primaries scarcely trace- 

 able ; other markings as above, but sordid : secondaries with 

 the abdominal margin and fringe white, bounded inter- 

 nally by a black stripe along the submedian vein ; a central 

 elbowed series of six sordid-white elongated spots, bounded 

 on both sides by ill-defined black spots, the third or central 

 spot pyriform and enclosing a smaller black spot; a discal 

 angulated series of six more or less pentagonal ochreous 

 patches, their two outer sides slightly sinuated and black- 

 edged ; a submarginal series of five almost confluent, oblong, 

 sordid-white patches placed corner to corner ; outer margin 

 and tail black : body below white, spotted at the sides with 

 black ; anus pale flesh-coloured. Expanse of wings 3 inches 

 3 lines,

But for the fact that this species is. in some of its most 

 important characters, nearer to P. euphrates of the Philippines, 

 I should have thought it possible that it might be an extra- 

 ordinary melanistic variety of P. antiphates. 



3. Papilio Mariesii^ sp. n. (PI. IV. fig. 4.) 



Allied to P. alebion, from which it differs in the absence of 

 the submarginal black band on the primaries, the narrower 

 discal belt of secondaries, which is greyish externally and 

 becomes obsolete towards the costa, the slightly larger white 

 spots above the blue-centred marginal black spots of the 

 secondaries, and the slightly larger and deeper-coloured orange 

 subanal patch : on the under surface the primaries differ as 

 above, the outer discal line of the secondaries is obsolete, and
