104 Mr. J. Wood-Mason on two new Species o/*Papilio. 



lunules ; the first of each series in the submedian interspace 

 with a red spot of a paler tint than the rest, and divided into 

 two unequal parts by the vein at the very end of each tail, 

 and with the short incisural cilia cretaceous white. 



Anterior wings below much paler, rich deep violascent red 

 at base. 



Posterior wings below coloured and marked as above, 

 except that they are red at base, like the anterior ones, that 

 this red extends backwards over the membranous interval 

 between the submedian vein and the median and its first 

 branch to a little beyond the level of the outermost cretaceous 

 white spot, that the lunules are larger and brigliter, that the 

 two marginal lunules next the anal angle are each so joined 

 to the one opposite to it in the submarginal series as to include 

 a patch (the first roundish and the second lunular and double 

 the size) of the black ground-colour, that there is a faint indi- 

 cation of a whitish lunule, the remains of a fifth (sometimes 

 fully- developed and red) submarginal lunule beyond the an- 

 terior white spot, and that the incisural cilia are apparently 

 longer. Antenna? black. 



The setose clothing of the head, two longitudinal dorsal 

 stripes from the head onto the pronotum, some of the sette of 

 the leg-bases and thorax below, and the outer ends of the 

 abdominal terga ferruginous^ passing on the frontal tuft into 

 red very similar in tint to that of the lunules and wing-bases. 



Nearly allied to P. hootcs^ Westwood, from the southern 

 slopes of the Khasia Hills, but diftering from it in having 

 only two spots (the outermost and smallest being absent) in 

 the cream-coloured patch, in having the red at the bases of 

 the posterior wings extended far into the interspace between 

 the submedian and median* veins (in one specimen it has 

 coalesced with the submarginal lunule), and the divided spot 

 quite at the extremity of the slenderer tails of the apparently 

 narrower posterior wings. 



$ . Unknown. 



Hah. Sikkim Hills. Four specimens, three from the col- 

 lections of the late Mr. L. Mandelli, and one purchased. 

 Also two specimens in the collection of Major G. F. L. 

 Marshall, R.E. 



Belongs, with P. hootes, P. rhetenor^ P.janaka^ and P. sca- 

 riiis, to the scentless Protenor group of Papilio^ and not to 

 the strong-scented and nauseous Philoxenus group^ which it 

 only mimics, its model being the same species as that of its 

 Khasia-Hill ally, namely the P.jpolyeuctes of Doubleday, from 

 the same region. 



Ohs, Papilio icariuSj Westwood, is the female of the same
