24 MR. A. R. WALLACE ON THE PAPILIONIDÆ 
flight, frequent the most luxuriant forest-distriets, seem to love the shade, and are the 
objects of mimicry: by other Papilios. 
Section B consists of weak-bodied, large-winged insects, with an irregular wavering 
flight, and which, when resting on foliage, often expand the wings, which the species 
of the other sections rarely or never do. They are the most conspicuous and striking of 
of eastern Butterflies. 
Section C consists of much weaker and slower-flying insects, often resembling in their 
flight, as well as in their colours, species of Danaid:e. 
Section D contains the strongest-bodied and most swift-flying of the genus. They 
love sunlight, and frequent the borders of streams and the edges of puddles, where 
they gather together in swarms consisting of several species, greedily sucking up the 
moisture, and, when disturbed, circling round in the air, or flying high and with great 
strength and rapidity. 
In the following Table I have arranged all the Malayan Papilionidæ in what appears 
to me their most natural succession, and have exhibited their distribution in twenty-one 
columns of localities, extending from the Malay peninsula, on the north-west, to Woodlark 
Island, near New Guinea, on the south-east. The double line divides the Indo-Malayan | 
from the Austro-Malayan region; and those islands which form natural zoological groups | 
are connected by brackets.
