552 MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE BUTTERFLIES OF MALACCA. 



Subfamily Papilionin^:, Bates. 



Genus Ornithoptera, Boisduval. 



1. Ornithoptera rlficollis, n. sp. <? . Allied to 0. flavicollis : wings smaller, com- 

 paratively narrower ; outer margin of primaries more distinctly inarched ; collar carmine. 

 Expanse of wings 5 inches 4 lines to 6 inches 1 line, c? Malacca. 



Unfortunately no female examples have come ; the male seems to he not uncommon. 

 Mr. Distant has an example of the female from Province Wellesley. The primaries are 

 of a rather more rounded form and duller black colour than those of the male ; the streaks 

 are more grey in colouring ; the secondaries have a broad deeply indented marginal 

 border, six large discal spots, the veins and the base black. It was taken on the 21st of 

 February 1869, on the lower part of " Batu Kawan."
