4. Troides hypolitus antiopa, subsp. nov. 



^ . The light stripes along the veins of the fore wing less distinct 

 on the upper side than in the specimens from the Southern Moluccas. 

 On the under side the second yellow spot of the hind wing is pos- 

 teriorly produced, the white spot placed before the second radial 

 vein is very small, the black one situated below the third radial large. 



Hab. Northern Moluccas : Morty (=Morotai) ; also Halma- 

 hera (Wallace). 



5. Troides haliphron ariadne, subsp. nov. 



$ . Collar and sides of breast red, the posterior ventral segments 

 of the abdomen edged with yellow. The vein-stripes of fore wing 

 purer white beneath than in iris, Eob. (1888). 



? . Collar and breast as in male. The cell-spot of the liind wing 

 larger than in iris, as are also the yellow spots situated before the 

 first radial and behind the second median veins. 



Hah. Koma. 



6. Troides ohlongomacidatus asartia, subsp. nov. 



(? . Similar to T. o. hanno, Fruhst., from Goram. Cell-spot of 

 hind wing extending close to the base ; the subcostal spot as in 

 ohlongomaculatus, or smaller ; the yellow patch situated IdcIow the 

 cell reaching on under side almost as far distad as the spot situated 

 in front of the second median vein, the cell more thinly edged with 

 black than in hanno, the lobes of the JDlack marginal band shaded with 

 yellow, the last lobe mvich reduced, a small dot being separated from 

 it ; this dot absent from one of our specimens. 



Hah. Ceram Laut, December, 1898 (H. Kiihn). Three 

 specimens. 



7. Troides ohlongomacidatus handensis, subsp. nov. 



Both sexes smaller than T. o. ohlongomacidatus, with the 

 abdomen deeper blackish brown on upper side. 



^ . Hind wing rather more rounded than in T. o. ohlongomacu- 

 latus ; the yellow cell-spot large, proximally excised ; the upper tooth 

 of the third golden patch not or very little more projecting than its 

 lower tooth ; on the other hand, the yellow area more strongly pro- 

 duced at the first median vein than usual. 



? . Fore wing above with sharply defined greyish white vein- 

 streaks ; the subcostal streaks, and to a less extent also the others, 

 much shaded with black distally, not extending so close to the edge 

 as in striped females of ohlongomaculatus ; cell edged with greyish 

 white, forming a kind of M, the cell being sharply margined with 

 white also beneath ; the stripes situated at the second median and the 

 submedian much shaded with black. The yellow area of the hind 

 wing above deeper yellow than in ohlongomaculatus, beneath as pale 

 as in that subspecies ; there is always a yellow spot before the first 

 radial, and a large one below the cell ; the fringe-spots very narrow 

 above and below. 



Hab. Great Banda. A series, mostly collected by H. Kiihn 

 in November and December, 1898.
