Hab. Woodlark Isl. (S. E. of New Guinea). 
Remark.—This is a small species (exp. 4 in.), with less blue on the lower wings.

36. PAPILIO PERICLES, n. sp. Tab. VI. fig. 1(2). 
Wings more elongate, and upper wings more pointed, than in P. Peranthus. 
Above black, the basal half of a silvery blue, greenish towards the base of the costa, 
and purplish on the outer margin, where on the lower wings it shades off into separate 
scales. On the submedian and two lower branches of the median nervure are elongate 
black cottony patches as in P. Ulysses, the lower ones joined at the base, the upper one 
separate; above these the outer margin is of a brown black, with a few atoms of yellow 
and blue scales towards the apex; the blue colour extends beyond the discoidal cell of 
the upper wings in a line parallel with the outer margin, on the lower wings it rounds 
away to the anal angle, and below it are five submarginal lunules of blue atoms, the 
outer one almost obsolete, and that next the tail largest and most deeply coloured. 
Thorax and body green. ! 
Beneath as in P. Peranthus, but the posterior range of lunules margined with bril- 
liant blue and orange brown. | 
Expanse of wings 3} inches. 
Hab. Timor (g) (Wall.). 
37. PAPILIO Parcrrpus, Wallace. Tab. VI. fig. 3. 
P. Peranthus, var. A, Boisd. Sp. Gén. Lép. p. 204. 
Above: basal half of the wings of a rich green-blue, the rest black, with a triangular 
patch at the apex of the uppers, formed of green atoms situated between the nervures; 
on the lower wings six large submarginal lunules, the lowest of which sends out some 
green atoms along the tail. The black cottony spot is of a different form from that of 
P. Peranthus, the separate patches being only joined in the middle, and two of them 
extending along the nervures in a point nearly to the discoidal cell. 
Beneath brilliantly marked with lunules of buff, black, and blue. 
Expanse of wings 44-5 inches. 
Hab. Moluccas (Wail.). i 
Remarks.—My specimen from Ceram is of a greener tinge, and the colour extends a 
little beyond the end of the discoidal cell; that from Batchian is smaller, of a bluer 
tinge, and the colour of less extent. The species seems to be very rare.
